Peter Gray“once [Brexit and Covid] were behind him, he was left with the persistent long-term questions of underdevelopment in housing, healthcare and so many other areas of public provision, for which his faith in “simple market dynamics” provided no convincing answers…it is not just #Varadkar himself who has run out of road. It is the whole idea of trying to govern a rapidly expanding State while sticking to a market ideology.’ - O’Toole

#Varadkar ‘resigning as leader of Fine Gael and will resign as taoiseach… there was no visible pressure to quit, no evident palace coup intrigues’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/20/leo-varadkar-irish-leader-caps-off-legacy-of-firsts-with-shock-departure
Simon FlettNext imperative in taking the lid off the hypocrisy of the British "establishment" is publication of a list of Members of the UK legislature who hold dual UK/EU Member-state passports. (All those Brexit supporters, who knew they didn't stand to lose their Freedom of Movement, or moved fast in secret to maintain it by exploiting the generosity of other nations). C'mon please Mr #Varadkar - give us a leaving present, tell us who are the "Irish" citizens passing racist & xenophobic laws of the UK?

kasilas#Varadkar spoke a great game, and led #Ireland exceptionally well through Brexit and Covid. For that, he deserves our thanks and respect.
Alas, in other arenas, his actions, voting, and policies did not live up to his words, and he was getting worse. Harsh as it sounds, resignation is the best thing he could do for his legacy.
