That's assuming they're not in the next govt, along with their new BF Mary Lou. The problem with the 'United Left'' is that it's not united and its main component is only 'left' on certain days of the week. The notion of the four lads serving under our first ever female taoiseach has a certain appe...

Speaking of thuggery, it's nice to see some on the left prepared to call it out. No doubt a strong statement will soon follow from the leader of the main opposition party. 😁 https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/soc-dems-lodge-formal-complaint-as-helen-mcentee-accuses-independent-ireland-tds-of-mis...

These people are all batshit.

At least some on the left seem to be prepared to call out what's going on. https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/04/14/fintan-otoole-rule-of-the-breakfast-roll-atariat-this-is-how-irelands-far-right-movement-will-emerge/ https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/04/14/live-fuel-protests-ireland-tra...

Excellent news, in contrast to the rest of the shit-shows around us, this makes for a fine start to the week.

That was a fine house of cards.

Irrespective on which brigade it is (and I think it's been fairly clear from the start which one it is), blockading roads for 4 days, disrupting fuel supplies and potentially emergency services, impeding essential workers getting to work and people trying to access cancer treatment or other medical...

Petrol stations all around Limerick City have run out of fuel.

I think a more appropriate question would be, if i drove my car until O'Connell Street on a normal day, how long would it be until my car actually moved... That said, my sense of this is that the blocking of whitegate refinery has upped the ante quite a bit. For the moment, people seem to be largel...

Apparently a number ofcities and towns have experience serious disruption as a result of the fuel price protest. Has prompted the Taoiseach to say there was a fundamental problem with the idea that protestors could park lorries in the middle of O’Connell Street and refuse to move them. I can see bo...

Oh dear, she's annoyed Conor too. You'd wonder why he didn't run himself to prevent this appalling vista from arising. And where was he yesterday? No embrace at the Oval Office desk this year.
