Roots of the Ukraine/Russia Conflict, Trump’s New Social Media Platform & The Conscious Cup Campaign

Russia may be isolated and alone politically but it’s powerful and unabashed in its aggression. Mandy speaks to Neil Robinson, Professor of Comparative Politics at the University of Limerick to explore the roots of the conflict and what kind of impact it could have on Europe and beyond.

Donald Trump is back with his own social media platform – ‘Truth Social’ – but will it have implications for politics in a world where normal rules no longer apply? Ryan Mac, Technology Reporter for the New York Times joined Mandy to find out.

Mandy was also joined by Sorcha Kavanagh, Coordinator of the Conscious Cup Campaign to discuss the waste generated by single-use cups in Ireland,  the Government’s plans to introduce a ‘Latte Levy’, and how much it’ll cost us at the counter.
