Irish democratic socialist, anti-war, pro enlightenment scientist. Just transition from fossil fuels, vaccines save lives. Human rights must be protected, international law upheld and applied consistently. The alternative is barbarism.

Feels like a Jeremy Corbyn moment for the Irish left, lot of hubris & self delusion around, which is dangerous, because where the left fail to successfully push back against neoliberal governments, time and time again, the far right move in to become the opposition. #GE24 #SocialistSunday
