Let's hope this is more a meeting about forming an alliance for a stronger opposition....think they well know govt is not a possibility this time around!
Sinn Féin confirmed they will be meeting with Labour and Social Democrats leaders on Wednesday to hash out maybe forming a government. All three parties are on 60-odd seats now, 88 needed for majority. Big ask, as Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael together have around 84/85.. #GE24

Looking at the stats over the last few days, the support for the left does seem to be there, but unfortunately there's just a lack of strategy.

Irish Times exit poll shows immigration was the most important issue for six per cent of voters, climate most important for four per cent. Two issues within the margin of error of each other, but one received a disproportionate amount of coverage while the other was barely mentioned. #ge24

Hearing Gazans being ordered to go "to Ireland or the deserts", has a profound resonance for Irish people.
During our long history of colonisation by Britain, Irish people, dispossessed of their land, were ordered to go "to hell or to Connacht"; the poorest and least fertile land in Ireland.

Elon Musk has launched his epic bacon ChatGPT competitor and it has a "rebellious streak." It's got to be so expensive to run, and now he's giving it to every Twitter Premium Plus $16 a month goon. Amazing stuff. I hope it's the same AI that drives Teslas

Just saw James O’Brien ask someone if Hamas was hiding in Israel would the tactics of the IDF be acceptable to capture them and I’ve never seen someone stumble so hard over their words to answer that

Mad to see the goalposts moving in real time, like now they're claiming "from the river to the sea" is a call for extermination and is offensive, but bombing refugee camps is standard practice and normal

I've bad eczema on my eyelids at the moment, and honestly it's the most irritating thing. No pharmacies seem to have any steroid creams or even brolene in stock...the amount of medicines in short supply in Ireland atm is crazy.

The equivocation & moral cowardice of so many in the face of genocide is not surprising
But expecting it does not make it any less revolting or despairing
