Donaldson's Depravity and His Toxic Politics

from Path to Power

Former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Áine Kerr join Matt to discuss Jeffrey Donaldson's appalling crimes and what he put his victims through by denying his guilt. They look at his political career and how he was a malign influence for more than forty years. They discuss Nigel Farage and whether his acceptance of a £5 million gift has scuttled his chance of becoming a prime minister. They discuss the departure of Keir Starmer, assess the likelihood of Andy Burnham doing a good job, and the timing of the general election he will call. They debate whether the decriminalisation of the possession of drugs would be a good idea or not, and weigh in on the importance or not of Ireland hosting the EU Presidency.Brought to you by The Greenman Group.PTP+To enjoy early access, ad-free listening and weekly bonus episodes, sign up at pathtopowerpodcast.comGet in touch: [email protected] Matt:https://twitter.com/cooper_mhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-cooper-615a1317https://www.instagram.com/mattcooperlastword/ Hosted on Acast.
