This guy, Leo V, sounds great. I remember when the last Fine Gael leader refused to sign up to the EU’s living wage directive. That fella, also Leo V, was an awful Tory.

The government has put the Living Wage on the long-finger due to concerns that it's putting too many businesses under too much pressure. Ok. But what is it's policy now when it comes to helping out people who work hard for low-pay? IMO - there are plenty of options but having no serious policy at all should not be one of them. All in The Sunday Times :- thetimes.com/world/ireland-w…
Living wage has been killed off — so what’s replacing it?

Living wage has been killed off — so what’s replacing it?

Raising pay is not the only way to improve the lives of workers, but the Irish government should set out what else it is doing

French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon: They tell us, "We must reassure the markets." Reassure the markets? What are their names? Where do they live? Let me go and reassure them! What market? What are you talking about? There is no market. There are hedge funds, financial companies and insurance companies.

@PontifexOct 10
The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

For all the moral panic about Hasan Piker, establishment Democrats have no issue hanging around a truly unrepentant bigot: Bill Maher. My latest for @thenation thenation.com/article/politi…
Democrats Have a Bill Maher Problem

Democrats Have a Bill Maher Problem

Establishment Democrats obsessing over Hasan Piker’s every move seem to have no issue talking to Maher, despite his decades of open bigotry.
