At a time when some are turning in on themselves – Ireland will continue to engage and to look outwards.
I was delighted to speak to the Global Ireland Summit and to see so many leaders drawn from every section of our society gathered together to discuss our country’s place in the world.

This wretched coward should live his remaining days in fear over his refusal to stand up to the genocidal Israeli regime.

The SocDems can't fund public services while aligning with parties that privatise them and cut taxes to bribe the electorate.
FFG are the antithesis of every left party's values. Anyone who tells you that it makes sense to align with them is interested in power - not values.

There is no justification for anyone on the left to enter government with FFG.
GP can't tackle climate change with parties who intend to INCREASE carbon emissions.
Labour can't advocate for workers with parties who allow rampant fake self employment and zero hour contracts. 1/2

People might well ask why I keep banging on about the past like this?
Because a continual succession of FF-FG governments is NOT the way to get the change Ireland needs, but small progressive parties (especially the Greens and Labour) have a history of failing to grasp that.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person that remembers Toby Young was just relatively recently a social pariah after he was booted from an appointment to a state position when it was revealed he was involved in a secret white supremacist eugenicist conference at UCL, and also creepy sexist tweets
Toby Young - who now sits as Baron Young of Acton in the House of Lords following his 2024 political peerage from the Conservative Leader of the Opposition - has tweeted bemoaning "handing out honours to a motley crew of woke failures" in policing, the NHS and the National Trust
