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.

No more delays. No more excuses.
A full ban on trade with the illegal settlements is the very least we should be doing.
Ireland has a proud history of resisting empire and standing up to colonialism - we must not continue the complicity that this government is happy to ignore.

There can be no climate justice without social justice.
We're slipping deeper into a barbaric world that concentrates even more wealth into the hands of the biggest polluting billionaires and corporations.
It doesn't have to be like this, but we'lll have to take back power from tthem!

People Before Profit are using our time in the Dáil next week to propose a joint motion with left parties to demand implementation of the Occupied Territories Bill including goods and services by Christmas.
The time for delay and watering down is over.
It's time for action.

Government's housing plan is an admission of failure in advance.
The policy of stuffing increasingly more money into the pockets of private developers and corporate landlords will continue to fail.
We need a State Construction Company to cut out the profiteering and directly build public housing.

FF-FG are "prisoners of an ideology".
The latest today is just yet another neoliberal giveaway to developers.
The housing crisis will continue to get worse as the government continues to try and "incentivise" developers more.

Have a look at Micheál Martin scrambling.
He doesn't like his gross hypocrisy called out.
He wants to bring in dirty fracked gas.
Speaking out of one side of his mouth at #COP30, and back to usual when he's home.

We have to be clear about the truth in the face of government spin.
Disabled people have been made poorer by about €1400.
Don't be fooled. It's a political choice to make people struggle more this year.

Renters are sacrificed to vulture funds by this government.
Government policy is to increase rents higher and faster to try and "attract international investment funds".
We need an eviction ban and rent controls to actually bring rents down.

Happy to be supporting Ruth Coppinger's Bill to ban fox hunting.
The Dáil will vote on this on 17 December, the first time in history a ban has been proposed on it.
This is not a "rural pursuit", it's animal cruelty pure and simple.

Where is the funding for DRIVE??
This government seems to be pulling funding for this essential project, leaving families in the lurch from the 1st of January.
Services like these are essential in our communities and they MUST be properly resourced and funded!

Don't let them get away with trying blame migrants and give themselves cover.
The housing, healthcare, and cost of living crises we face are a result of continuing government policy.
All the government is talking about doing is turning up the dial of performative cruelty on a minority - on asylum

Don't let this government and their lackeys distract you. The issues we face in the housing, healthcare, and cost of living crises are real. Migrants don't make any of those problems worse.
It's government week after week that makes it worse! Don't let them blame migrants to give themselves cover.

"So they're saying now that migration is too high, but actually it's a figure that's coming down. So what has changed is they feel under political pressure. And it is very clearly at attempt to distract from all of their failures - in terms of housing, over 5000 children growing up in emergency accommodation, and so on, and to blame the most vulnerable." Don't let this government and their lackeys distract you. The issues we face in the housing, healthcare, and cost of living crises are real. Migrants don't make any of those problems worse. It is government policy week after week that makes it worse!
