Earlier…
This afternoon.
Irishtown Community Centre, Dublin.
Ivana Bacik is confirmed as Labour Party leader saying Ireland urgently needs justice, equality, freedom “a pay rise“.
To the barricades.
Meanwhile…
This afternoon..

As if inflation is not bad enough ;-)
that’s a typo, she’s being very upfront with new campaign, ‘Ivana needs a pay rise’.
it’ll be her new nickname; ‘ivana payrise’
ivana tinkle
ivana keep my seat…
I wonder what Ivana Fuppalot is doing now
Terrible editing decision :)
The last throw of the dice perhaps for a busted flush of a party.
And of course they have the token black face on the front row (why not further back as they place the other members of pale skin ethnicity )
It’s so obvious .
This is what I hate about liberals all this symbolism
It’s so sinister
THERE IS NOTHING NEW ABOUT THIS FAILED GROUP OF SPONGERS
Good morning jobseekers.
Mickey, hand out the pens will you ?
Hehehehehe
What day are you starting your new job in P+O, pal?
Very droll Pauline’s pens
I actually when I lost a job had to attend one of these
I asked for a pen
Just as James Connolly would’ve wanted.
Thank you. Brilliant. So simple. Can’t stop laughing
Congratulations to Ivana, and best of luck in the new role.
There are many thing I am sure we would disagree on but if she can get the wheels screwed back onto the Labour cart, then that is a good thing.
The shopping trolley.
flogging a dead horse, more ya.
if she can roll back the party to what they were before Ruari Quinn screwed the students then I’m all for it, a bit of competition. Not sure if we get that in this generation but who knows.
‘so let’s all pretend that the last 15 years never happened’..
She voted and spoke in favour of every bit of austerity in the recession – particularly those aimed at the OAPs and disabled.
I am one of them €50 a week down on my pension
I worked since I was 16 between here and the UK and my 8 years of UK pension contributions were refused over 400 in total by the Irish government they do not qualify as they are lesser
God love all those northern Irish if ever they have to claim a pension from the republics system if the north is unified with the south
I have for two years argued the point and are still waiting for an explanation
Meanwhile each weak I am short €50
I am appalled by the thought that I may be supporting your upkeep in any way whatsoever
I’m sure Labour are thinking that.
I never said that scottie- but as you should know, there is such a thing as a party whip which is why the people who spoke the most sense throughout the pandemic have been independents.
The reason for a change in leadership of any party is to take it in a new direction, and I wish Ivanna well in that endeavour- she may surprise us all yet.
She certainly cannot be any worse that that Kelly clown, or iJoan.
I assume Sinn Fein have replaced the Labour Party as the party of the socialists
Labour has been decaying from the top when dick spring conned us all
they’ve all had their hills to climb (that they’ve failed to or just didn’t bother trying) if Ivana can surmount hers (being an outright liar during elections) then there is hope.
I do genuinely want more competitive political parties in Ireland, give the electorate more options so there are alternatives when the party in power is full of grifters and self-serving muppets.
good luck indeed finding a new demographic of suckers to betray.
David below has hinted at this- if Labour go in full throttle on the housing crisis and call for the banning of vulture funds- you will be surprised how their ratings will rise.
I have no doubt but that SF are reaping the rewards of doing it already. Housing is the biggest single issue that concerns this generation.
Sadly we are paying her wages plus untouched expenses and pensions
It’s gas
She will be earning more than biden and more than Boris who run countries with 15 to 135 times our population
As we are members of the EU we might as well abolish all these parasites in the dail and senate and get rid of the middle men women and what else we call them and imagine the savings of our taxes
Not sure how well wheels will do on a trolley at the bottom of a canal.
Imagine working your whole life to get to the top, only to find when you get there, there is nothing left.
Congrats Ivana and socilalim focusing on equality, housing needed more than ever but not much evident in the Labour Party
a Sisyphean task
it’s all rock and roll to Ivana .
Agreed
I liked that too when I heard it
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
George W Bush.
If there was no necessity for the Labour Party already, surely that sorts that out today. An exemplary display of pointlessness if ever there was such a thing.
she reminds me of Zappone. Seems to have great intentions, empathetic and says all the right things. But ultimately boils down to a champagne socialist who actually will do eff all about this things she seems passionate about and just really looking for a spot at the trough.
I wonder actually, do they make her and Eamon Ryan eat from their own trough? or do they allow they feed off the FG/FF one?
I doubt it, I’d say Eamo only feeds from south facing windowsills where he always has a supply of salad ready to go.
Never any smoke without salmon.
I think that’s unfair
I really want to think so but still
I’d much prefer her to Alan Kelly for example
A working class hero is something to be.
Any sign of Mark Wall there in group photo
You’d think he’d be all over the new leader’s big day
Ivana puk. Ivana Lie Ivana Drink The name has endless headline possibilities. The Irish Star will be delighted
