PAT+JUDE TALK ABOUT IRELAND BEING FULL, URSULA VON DER LEYEN, TRUMP & VANCE, & SF’S SLUMP IN SOUTH

 

 

So Ursula von der Leyen  has been re-elected top dog in the EU. Given her record with regard to Israel and a few other things, should Irish people be dancing in the streets or rending their garments?

And is it true that Ireland ‘is full’? Diarmaid Ferriter in today’s Irish Times thinks not, but makes the obvious point that if you’re going to have an increased population, you haave to plan for it.

A bit like a united Ireland, right? Or maybe a UI is a foolish dream, with the slump in the polls by Sinn Féin south of the border. 

Finally,  what about the resurrection of Donald J Trump and his new guardian angel, J D Vance. Is there anything to be said for either? We think there is.

Enjoy – and tell us if you like our shorter version. Or not.

    Brilliant! Thanks for the Vance info… and I’m worried about this far-right growth in the south.

    The question is whether Trump is a more bitter and formidable snake than Vance.
    Which one is going to out-snake the other?

    I wouldn’t bet against Trump.
