Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference. “One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception. “The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

I legit think a problem on the Irish left is a failure to engage with other European leftists. You’d see how insulting comments like these are if you’ve touched grass with socdems in Finland, Lithuania, Poland etc Too much absorbing American leftist talking points and not enough internationalism.

Catherine Connolly says “the Ukraine” in every speech on the war. She opposes Ireland providing Ukraine paltry combat medic and de-mining training, and objects to all EU arms funding for Ukraine. She took part in a PR blitz for Bashar al-Assad in Syria, but wouldn’t clap for Zelenskyy in the Dáil.
