The funniest tweet is FFs attempt at ‘holding to account’ FG. FFG
Ah, they’re gas. Where’s the €8 billion? Well €6 billion is this year’s interest on the national debt which Fianna Fail fupped up when they allowed the economy collapse in 2008-2011.
FG’s eunuch concubines.
Gwan the Soc Dems, they really do punch above their weight. I can see them gracing the Four Courts in the coming session to force this government to act or refrain from acting.
co leaders! there are only 2 of them and they cant agree on a leader.
they certainly have some suckers fooled.
But slightly.more representative of the number of persons votes within FG which were against Varadkar becoming leader of that set up.
