JUST IN: Dutch government reportedly "on the brink of collapse" over a proposed wealth tax of 38.5% on annual investment returns above €60,000.

@TonightVMTV @alisonoconn Bizzare statements (& kept interrupting). She doesn’t seem to think that carbon taxes (during an energy crisis) would have an inflationary effect?
What sort of logic deficiency does she suffer from?

Next she will say people shouldn’t have homes as they cost too much to heat 🤷‍♂️

I am puzzled... beyond any puzzlement... Hunter Biden 'contributions'... WTAF?

Denmark has essentially stopped immigration. And they didn’t have to resort to violence to do it.

Denmark’s economy is also booming, performing much better than the rest of Europe.

Europe could save itself by simply copying what Denmark is doing.

Today marks an important milestone as I launch my first piece of legislation, the Tender to Payment Bill 2026.

Every euro of taxpayers’ money matters. My Bill is about bringing greater transparency, accountability and better value to how the State spends it.

A smarter, more efficient State that delivers more for the people it serves.

This is just the beginning ✅

@irishdailymail The asylum system, including the ECHR, is being abused, & needs to be reformed. It never was intended to be used for economic or welfare purposes. Reform of existing legislation & structures is not unheard of.

This is a job for the Dáil & other governments. Not her call.

Catherine Connolly's surprising swipe at Government 'pressuring' EU court about deportation of violent criminals has legal experts and politicians warning the President might be straying too far into voicing her own personal views https://t.co/owkmd3rqGT

This is a big window for Ireland, it’s all in our hands

Win both games, we win the group, if we just beat Kosovo in Dublin, we get pot 2 for Euros qualifying

Last November we did the almost impossible, let’s give this November a right go

We can do it, COYBIG 🇮🇪💚

Let’s not forget that Riad Bouchaker came to Ireland in 2000, never worked a day he lived in here, was given citizenship anyway and stabbed three children and a crèche worker.

We're getting Stoneybatter-style housing. This 2006 Dutch neighbourhood (Brandevoort) shows how to do it.

✅ Windy streets
✅ Frequent greenery
✅ Cars inside the block
✅ Beside train line so lots of people can live in a walkable area -- 140 units/ha net

Yet literally only a month ago on budget day the Government increased the dole rate for the long-term unemployed and left the new higher, pay-related payment for those only recently unemployed unchanged.

[Nick Delehanty 🇮🇪 @Nick_Delehanty]

Ireland has given €123million in aid to Ethiopia since 2023.

Meanwhile, Ethiopia has entered into a multi-BILLION DOLLAR deal to buy Russian Fighter jets & missiles.

But Ireland strongly supports Russian sanctions intended to weaken its war economy

Ireland has also provided €670 million in aid directly to Ukraine since 2022 + accepted a hundred thousand Ukrainian refugees at a costs of billions.

How do these policies fit together?

Can someone in Govt please explain this to me because I don't understand.

[Barry Whyte @BarryWhyte85]

I reported on this earlier this year.

New housing developments sold as utopias, with public transport, shops, schools and crèches on the doorstep.

The reality? Bus stops with no buses. Trains too packed to board. Shops, schools and crèches still not built. A lack of parking.

[John McGuirk @john_mcguirk]

There are, to be sure, lots of people scrounging off the taxpayer in Ireland.

It's people - some of them related to FG politicians - getting massive annual salaries to run hundreds of NGOs of questionable merit.

[John McGuirk @john_mcguirk]

Left wing people who are pretending to be right wingers for votes always go for "welfare reform" first because it's what the left thinks of the right.

"Oh they hate the poor, that lot".

Thus, Simon Harris.
