LEO IN SORRY STATE

WHEN Leo Varadkar held up “Welfare Cheats Cheat Us All” placards in the Fine Gael leadership race we should have guessed he was a Trump fan.

I hear his blood was up after a reporter asked him why he was having dealings with convicted criminal Michael Lowry, right?

Leo’s US trip gave us a rare glimpse into the inner workings of our Tory boy Taoiseach. So did his explanation to the Dail when he said he “profoundly regrets” if anyone thinks he doesn’t support a free press here.

How can you regret what other people think? The Taoiseach specifically didn’t say he regretted saying what he said.

The reality is he’s not sorry but he is sorry he got caught saying it.
