The Irish Government's strategy is to make 'strong' statements about what the 'international community' should be doing as a way of deflecting from what it isn't doing.

No sanctions, no Occupied Territories Bill, no halt to the use of Irish airspace by US-Israeli military.

@deanfbuckley Since they are adding an ad-supported tier, they need to join the measuring board in the UK at least

Governments have ignored nursing for too long and now the profession, as it always does, has put patient safety first in voting for strike action.

RT to show your support for nursing.

Ofgem, the government's energy regulator, has announced it will be increasing your bills every three months instead of every six.

It’s not an energy price cap for consumers; it’s an energy profit safeguard for companies.

Student loan interest rates expected to rise from 4.5% to 12% for high earners and from 1.5% to 9% for low earners from September. An average grad with £50k debt will incur £2,200 to £3000 in interest over 6 months, just in case young wallets haven't been hit hard enough.

The Tories are letting energy bills soar by 54% today, up nearly £700.

In France, where energy companies are publicly owned, the government is only allowing a 4% rise.

Bring energy companies into public ownership and run them for our need, not corporate greed.

how broken is the irish transport system that we have domestic flights on a small island?

this is so wasteful and so polluting

[Jack Saint @lackingsaint]

This is a profound and grotesque exploitation of young people in the UK, and I have nothing but support for anyone who refuses to pay a penny of it

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

Last week, the Tories voted to hand a £1,000,000,000 annual tax cut to bankers.

Today, they're bringing forward legislation that will mean real terms cuts to pensions and social security for millions of people.

I'll be opposing this.

This country is held hostage by a class of bums, who expect working people to finance their lifestyles while contributing nothing to society.

They’re called “landlords”. And it’s time to tax them til the pips squeak.

@deanfbuckley They accept Amex which tends to be a good sign.

If you want I can buy using my card, that way their payment resolution will handle anything in case of weirdness?

@Glenn_Kipling Yay cardboard absolution.

Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. The climate crisis is a capitalist crisis.

We need system change to avert climate catastrophe.
