#Spads - Twitter Hashtag

3 months ago

A political consultant , lobbyist and commentator comes out in support of #PatrickODonovan. There’s a surprise - not ! Too many of this ilk are Special Advisers to Gov - cushy numbers #SpAds Deepening the chasm between Gov & electorate. #Blinkered We are not so easily fooled

#PatrickODonovan is spot-on. Where were the interviews with Dublin shop owners/workers? Why the equivalence accorded law-breaking blockaders and democratically elected Ministers and TDs by one presenter after another ?

No doubt this idea came from one of the seventy or so advisers to Government #SpAds … they should engage directly with marginalised not make policy decisions that alienate the electorate. Homelessness is growing due to those in charge never experiencing living on the margins

Rental scheme touted to free up 28,000 homes provides only 12 rooms - John Drennan TWO-THIRDS of the country's local authorities have not received a single application for a scheme under which council tenants can rent out rooms in their homes tax-free, the Irish Mail on Sunday can reveal. 'We understand it's the last housing minister [Darragh O'Brien] who is to blame but the current fellow [James Browne] had better do something about it. We are being turned into a joke yet again.' #HousingCrisis #DarraghOBrein #HowIrelandWorks

@frank_oconnor We need to see him again speak the same truth as our political class are a little too cosy in their ivory towers unaffected by #Homelessness #Disability #CostOfLiving crisis; escalating energy costs living at taxpayer expense on inflated salaries with a host of #SpAds on €100k

@afneil Anyone with a modicum of common sense knew that this was a farce in the making. Only #Starmer, #Labour #Ministers, #Labour #SPADs and the cream of the #HomeOffice thought it was viable. The clowns are in charge. What happened to the adults? 🎪🤡🤣🎪🤡🤣

@Keir_Starmer @Petrie_JohnC You #SpAds are so funny. Nobody is in any way interested in doing business with the #OrangeShitGibbon and when Mandy and all the little hangers on are exposed (s’cuse the pun😉) over the Epstein scandal (#ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles) you’ll rue the day you licked the orange ring🫢

supported by main opposition party they rolled out the #CareRef which caused outrage and was defeated. They’ve learnt nothing. All the sound bytes about #Disability crafted by #SpAds #SpinDoctors are just spin without any respect for the #PersonWithDisability 4/9

@Lewis_Brackpool They are #SPADs, a mickey mouse degree and no real world experience. The fact that almost all MPs won't go to the.toilet without running it past the aforementioned is why #Westminster and politics in the West is the ideological shitshow it is.

@sophielouisecc @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives You would not put these #SPADS in charge of a box of pointy pencils (they'd have their own eyes out) - and these uberthick entitled dimshits are the parliamentary future of @Conservatives ? They're sat around expecting to be parachuted into a constituency association. DUMB TORIES

The #TrueCost to us. Honestly, I don’t know any #Minister that presently looks good so they’re failing spectacularly ! Some Ministers in their role have or had up to eight #SpAds - the mind boggles ⬇️ read below https://t.co/uYdrdbiUJj

€6,639,525 - that's the basic salary annual cost of the unprecedented 60 (SIXTY) special advisers employed at our expense by this Govt to make ministers look good. That excludes other salary costs and employment expenses (like overseas travel). Likely €8m a year. Conservatively

@carolvorders Far too many MPs & Lord's, plus all the #SpAds they employ, it's pure abuse of power & taxpayer funds! #reduceMPs to 101 & #reduceLords to 51 with the public voting on suitability! Also, no political honours or nominations, let's clean up politics now!
