🧡 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

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

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

Don't let anyone think FF or FG care about workers rights

Watching repeat of leaders questions πŸ€“

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.

In the space of just 45 seconds, Simon Harris manages to come across as condescending, patronising, dismissive, uncaring, arrogant, insensitive, callous, and cold-hearted.

Fine Gael truly found the perfect leader to embody their values.
