🧵 It’s surprising how many people seem to like to learn about how colonialism f*cked up the world. In fact, it’s at the centre of Western politics today. From the Orange Taco, to Putin & Sir Keir Starmer colonial persecution is still in play - & the LGBTQ community are its focus [1].
When Care is handed over to profit driven corporates, corners get cut & that includes corners off peoples human rights

➡️The answer:
Take Care out of corporate hands, take public funding out of corporate hands & make nursing home care public!

& everyone agrees

A united voice from the left looks good & sounds good.

Voters are looking for an alternative!
Great to see a motion from @ClaireKerr
🟢 @sinnfeinireland
to support #TogetherForPublic an Alliance for a Public System of #Childcare

#EveryChild deserves quality education & Care
Educators deserve better wages
Providers need a better funding model
Real momentum is building behind our call for public childcare! 👶🙌

This evening a motion put forward by TD Claire Kerrane
will echo our call for urgent action to tackle the childcare crisis.

The system is broken & we need action✊🚸

There was supposed to be 7 days statutory sick pay 4 months ago and up to 10 days next January

All of that is gone

More shite about supporting auto enrol pensions, thats been talked about since 2015 ten years of no action

Also gov have not followed through on eu directive of collective bargaining..
Improving collective workers rights should have been done last November
6 months later nothing
Watching repeat of leaders questions 🤓

absolute shite from Micheal Martin about min wage workers & how employers pay the cost

Most min wage workers have to be supplemented through social transfers like med card, HAP, family payment...

Public purse is supplementing low pay...

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.
