Official TFK Irish General Election 2024

SF manifesto out today. One thing that caught my eye was the childcare proposal to reduce cost to parents to €10/day (or about €200 per child per month)

SF claim this is possible by Sep 2025 and would cost approx €350 million.

It would be a superb policy achievement if delivered but if it costs so relatively little (less than a VAT cut to 9% for example) then why couldn’t this just be done by the current gov? Is it more complicated/expensive than SF make out or is there some other reason?

If this was Harris he would have fucked it in the bin.

I like the cut of Gannon’s jib.

It was throwback to his coronation at that internal FG gathering in some midlands hotel last spring when he went off on one about SF & the tricolour.

Joe would be to Joey Diaz like “This guy Si Harris is a freak, dropped out of community college at 19 with no money to become a community leader in The Projects because he felt powerless; his dad is like a trash collector, joins this obscure Fine Girl party, gradually climbs the greasy pole; dyes his hair grey; puts an axe in the back of his mentor who is like, the guy, who also rumour has it, is like his lover; refuses to hold an election; and suddenly he is like the Tea Sock leader of Free Gaelic Irish, like their king. It’s a crazy story, and the guy is like 27. Jamie, look up a picture of Si Harris, the guy is a fucking Silverback”

Good tool. I came back LAB/GP/SD/PBP.
The FFG and SF brigade all followed on then around the same as each other.

Similar with GP no 1

SF quite right wing now

Couldn’t agree more.

Most people I talk to like him. I don’t get it

Who said TFK doesn’t provide top class political insight?

The VAT rate is just about increasing their margins and nowt at all about delivering a better price for the consumer. It’s a fairly material boost to their margin if the VAT rate is back at 9% and the price stays where it is…a 20k a week business makes 50k per year more
