Ireland REVOLT: Government launch ‘SINISTER media CRACKDOWN’ as protests spread North: Eoin Lenihan
Irish protests this past week have been met with a media blackout as the government sought to cast blame for fuel protests on Iran and other figures, rather than excessive taxes and a refusal to engage with public concerns. Despite surviving a no-confidence vote overnight, the Irish government’s handling of the protests may have prompted the emergence of a strong, conservative opposition.
In this GB News Originals interview, Nick Dunning speaks to author of Vandalising Ireland, Eoin Lenihan, about the shocking farmer and haulier protests sweeping across Ireland — and what they reveal about rising anger over fuel prices, government taxation, and political accountability.
Following global instability linked to tensions in Iran and rising oil prices, Irish citizens took to the streets in unprecedented numbers. But are these protests really about fuel — or something much deeper?
Lenihan argues that this marks the beginning of a broader grassroots movement, with ordinary working people pushing back against what he describes as an increasingly out-of-touch political establishment. From claims of media bias and government overreach, to the emergence of new right-wing political movements, this is a conversation that goes far beyond Ireland.
📉 Why are Irish fuel taxes so high?
🚜 Why are farmers and hauliers leading the protests?
📺 Is the media failing to report the full story?
🏛️ Could this reshape Irish politics forever?
With tensions rising and protests spreading into Northern Ireland, this interview explores whether we are witnessing the early stages of a major political realignment — not just in Ireland, but across Europe.

Mike Parry launches into a furious rant over Tony Blair’s criticism of Keir Starmer’s Labour government, branding the former Prime Minister’s intervention “completely misplaced.” In a fiery exchange, the broadcaster argues that Britain “started going downhill the moment Tony Blair got in,” accusing the ex-Labour leader of continuing to influence British politics long after leaving office.
The debate centres around growing tensions within Labour as questions continue to mount over Keir Starmer’s leadership, policy direction, and handling of key national issues. Mike Parry tears into Blair’s legacy in government, while defending the view that ordinary voters are increasingly frustrated with political elites interfering from the sidelines instead of offering real solutions to the country’s problems.
Former Labour MP Stephen Pound joins the discussion to push back against the criticism and defend Blair’s right to speak out on the future of the party.

Reform UK vs Restore Britain: The BITTER BATTLE for Britain’s Right could change politics forever
GB News presenter Will Kingston sits down with Stephen Davies, Head of Education at the Institute of Economic Affairs and author of The Great Realignment, to discuss the political transformation reshaping Britain. From the rise of Reform UK and Restore, to the decline of the Conservative Party, the pair examine why politics is increasingly being driven by identity, culture and immigration rather than traditional economic issues. They also discuss the Makerfield by-election, Nigel Farage’s challenge from the right, Tony Blair’s legacy, the future of Labour and the Conservatives, and what the Henry Nowak case reveals about modern Britain.
Is Britain heading towards a new political era? And which parties will emerge as the winners of the Great Realignment?
