About this episode

The episode features an interview with Sinn Féin's health spokesperson David Cullinane discussing the party's left-wing politics and current challenges.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack It's been a testing time for the broad left and the vote-left-transfer-left movement, and with the speculation swirling around about internal disputes within Sinn Féin, it was the perfect time to be joined by their party spokesperson for health, David Cullinane. We discuss the state of left unity, leadership speculation, and the tell-all book about the party, and we delve into their positions on immigration and the perception that they pivoted to the right after the Dublin riots. What are Sinn Féin's values? Here are some answers.
