Paul Murphy: Clearly, the Irish left needs to unite once and for all ahead of future elections
A week on from General Election 2024, the People Before Profit TD looks at the fragmented left and asks what it can do to change politics in the future.

"We also want to work with others to form a left front to give people a clear governmental alternative to FF and FG rule at the next possible opportunity."
We need to learn the lessons from #GE24.

Micheál Martin shouldn't be going to the White House on St. Patrick's day, but we know he will.
There's no chance that he will go there and raise the cases of Seamus Culleton & all the others who have been held in ICE 'concentration camps' for months on end.
We saw the groveling last year!

Government is ramming a rent hike bill through the Dáil that will throw renters to the wolves. This bill opens the door to brutal “market rent resets” that will drive up rents by up to 40%. An outright attack on working-class people already drowning in extortionate rents.

The cost of living crisis is NOW.
It's why the Affordable Ireland Campaign launching today is so important.
Unless we mobilise to force change, ordinary people are going to get poorer and poorer, while the big corporations profiteer.

Government is doubling down on their reliance of the private sector to deliver infrastructure. It's a failed model that's never worked and never will.
Instead, it's a massive transfer of public money into private pockets.
We need a State Construction Company!

Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and their right wing independents have it in for disabled people.
In the same cruel budget that took €1400 away from disabled people, they hand over €300million to Google!
Disabled people need an emergency payment to counteract a cold and difficult winter!

For years now, we've been chasing Irish Water to invest and fix this, but they haven't so far.
It's horrendous that every time there's heavy rainfall sewage overflows and runs into the Dodder and people's gardens.
The community knows what's going on. We need it fixed. It's not good enough.

Great to attend the Your Party Scotland founding conference.
A vibrant participative event with socialists getting organised to put up a fight against austerity, war and racism.
We live in a sick system run by depraved individuals like Epstein, Trump and Mandelson. It must go.

The government is 'targeting' alright. It's targeting disabled people and the poorest in our society, and making life intentionally even more difficult.
Particularly cruel cuts when the government has never had more money, €25billion+ in surplus.
It's austerity in a time of plenty.

I spoke just after the awful crash earlier on 'Grace's Law', and the tragedy of Grace's death.
It's due to the bravery of her mother that this law will be passed, but it didn't have to be this way. The legislation was passed in 2023, and could have been brought it at any point.

Why has the Attorney General's advice changed? What has changed since?
Before Christmas, the whole Dáil voted for a motion that the Occupied Territories Bill should be passed including services before the end of the day.
This government continues to water it down, and delay again.

Are there criminal investigations into X themselves or not?

People in Whitechurch getting organised to fight against threatened Council, AHB & HAP rent hikes.
In Dublin City Council they voted to hike the rent by 30%, now South Dublin County Council is talking about similar rent hikes.

Why won't the government answer a simple question?
It's yes or no? Is there a criminal investigation into X itself?
This government is more concerned about being viewed favourably by Big Tech than protecting the public.
We must stop these harmful tools being used to produce horrific content.

We need a campaign against the rent hikes in SDCC, to ensure we don't follow the lead of Dublin City Council. The final decision is months away, but we need to begin fighting it NOW!

After last night's powerful meeting of Marlfield residents, I've written to Apcoa asking them not to engage in clamping next Tuesday.
It's completely unacceptable to see charges and clamping introduced against the will of the majority of residents. They should be withdrawn.
