“Tech billionaires… are not your constituents.”
Community organiser Katie Dapkus went viral last month after telling Kentucky city councillors that “the people could not be clearer” about rejecting data centres, unregulated AI, and surveillance technology.

When the AI bubble bursts, when tech stocks plummet, Ireland will be more exposed to the economic fallout than any other EU member state. We haven’t just ignored the environmental impact of AI in Ireland, this govt has actively lobbied to allow AI companies to scrape *all* EU citizens private data

Ireland's artist basic income returned €1.39 for every €1 spent. They made it permanent. South Korea just announced plans to follow. Now Scotland too.

Well at least we know FG’s priority now
Almost 3million people are in the labour force
Almost 50% of those earn less than €47k per year- huge struggle with cost of living
And FG’s top priority to to go after the 1% who haven’t worked 12months+
Populism at its worst

Collision is our homegrown Musk. Absolutely shameful behaviour. #spéirgorm
The bad news is Californian voters rejected the billionaire tax.
Billionaires spent more than $300m to lobby against it.
The fourth highest opposition funder was Irish multi-billionaire Patrick Collison who donated $33m to the cause.
The tax was to fund food assistance, healthcare, education.

All the Triple Lock is is another guardrail that ensures the government of the day can't make drastic decisions about deploying our military overseas.
We in opposition are often accused of scaremongering over that fact.
But with the EU openly moving towards militarisation, should we not be scared?

Simon Harris has apparently never held a real job outside of politics. You might even say he’s treated the public purse as ‘a way of life’ #speirgorm

My brother used to work in a cheese factory. There was a guy there, let’s call him “Harkin” and he used to castrate pigs in his previous job.
He hated it, he felt bad for the pigs who would never know the full spectrum of feelings only found in physical intimacy.
So he came up with a plan.

Cuts to Ireland’s #climate emissions from #farming have stalled. 0.2% drop last year. 5 mins into this interview I put it to the Minister for Agriculture that he has done nothing to increase ambition since getting into office 2 years ago.

“A new study has calculated that increasing trees and other vegetation in urban areas by 30% could have prevented more than 1/3rd of all global heat-related deaths between 2000 to 2019. In total, 1.16 million lives may have been saved with more greenery during this 20-year period.” Via @euronews.com
