Community & Voluntary workers are being forced to strike. Why? Because they're not paid equally to HSE staff, so people are leaving & services collapsing. The government agrees they should fund them properly. @DonnellyStephen, @rodericogorman, why are you refusing to?

Opinion: We've just had the hottest week on record and we're cheering a gutted EU Nature bill?

Lorna Bogue says the Nature Restoration Law debacle in the EU this week should be viewed as the climate failure it is.

We are so lucky to have Michael D as president. He gives voice to those of us who want to maintain Irish neutrality and stay out of NATO. @IrishNeutrality

The omicron variant is the 5th highly significant variant of the original SARS-COV-2 virus, and it likely won’t be the last. With only 9.5% of people in low-income countries having received at least 1 dose, it’s imperative we vaccinate the unvaccinated.

It's remarkable that the police are not trying to move people #CapitolBuilding
Thel fact that they were even able to storm the capital building is insane. Trump is a terror#CapitolBuilding

The best thing Brussels can do is select a trade commissioner that will put climate change and corporate tax avoidance at the centre of future EU-international trade agreements. No Irish nominee will do that. #Trade #Politics #golfgate

"I've told you already, it's not my responsibility if you're homeless" says the Garda to one of the 9 tenants illegally evicted last night in Phibsboro. It is, however, their responsibility to oversee the eviction apparently. (No, it's not)

Watch how the ultra-wealthy in America gradually raised the taxes of the poor and eventually bent the curve downward until they paid the lowest tax rate of all

France – state violence: when does democracy cease to exist?

Democracy is fragile. Sometimes this is the case surprisingly closer to home than our fellow Europeans realise.

Let me be blunt about this. I’m hoping to get a publisher and if I understand the way things work nowadays, it will help if LOTS of people retweet this and look at the website. Who knows, you might even find the book interesting. :) Please pass on.

If any Labour MP abstains on Labour's official amendment tomorrow: withdraw the whip and select new candidates immediately ... that's the baseline for an internationalist party. RT if you agree...
