Bags packed. Everythings ready. This trip #HomeToVoteYes is a burden. My exams start Monday. I barely had the money to get a flight. But this burden is nothing compared to the feeling of neglect & misery which Ireland systematically imposes on its women.#Together4Yes #hometovote

Well, I've read this Sarah Russell poem about 15 times this morning... So now you can too:

In 2021, the population of the 18-34 group was approx 1.05 mill in Ireland 62% still lived at home (650,000) Of those, 36.5% work full-time (237k) Employment for this group (*20-34) is 680k, 81% full-time (550k) Over 40% of Irish full-time workers u35 live with their parents

The starve the beast strategy requires a period of a year at least between tax cuts and calls for spending cuts, so the two are not closely linked in voters minds. The market reaction to Kwarteng's unfunded tax cuts means that will not be possible. 1/6

@garyseconomics Hi gary, Thank you for your work and for this video. I am wondering if you have any source list? I am thinking of doing a research project on how the media reports on inflation and want to use this as a frame! Thank you in advance - Aoife
