People seem puzzled that Michael Martin should abandon principle and the smooth progress of government to shove through a ludicrous deal with Lowry. Students of history know that abandoning principles for power comes naturally to Fianna Fáil – going back to the oath of allegiance in the 1920s.

Micheál Martin must be regretting the term “peacemaker” he applied to Trump in his deferential visit to the White House. Today’s slaughter in Gaza (that Trump“green lit”) shows that peace to Trump means the surrender of the weaker party to the stronger under non-negotiable terms. Watch out Ukraine.

FF were down and out (deservedly) in 2011 - FG brought them back into the fold in 2016 with the Confidence & Supply arrangement. A huge mistake. Now FG find themselves the rear end of the pantomime horse that will be the latest FFG government.

Finding Twitter increasingly tiresome and so am transitioning over to the less fraught world of Bluesky. I’ll keep a foot in both camps for a week or two.
