    I recently bought this book, and I think it's a great read. A great insight into his meteoric rise from County Councillor to Taoiseach.

    Has anyone else bought this, or intend to buy it.

    Haven't bought it nor do I intend to buy it.

    Let's be honest, he's a ****e Taoiseach. Only interested in soundbites and socks.

    I found Leo used get a lot of stick up until when he came out and now he seems to be loved by those who hadn't time for him before.

    In fairness I just don't think he's sincere or cares what we think. It's just a career for him. And he presented himself in a way that led him to the top.

    Whether that is fair or not would be a matter of opinion.

    Yes. That's my opinion. Based on watching him for a few years. He really doesn't come across as sincere. He comes across as a career politician. A massively successful one.

    I wouldnt trust Leo Varadkar as far as I'd throw him.

    Sometimes you just have to learn that the hard way with some people.

    Anyone who wants to know anything about "Leo" just needs to remember what happened when he was Minister for Health at the height of the flu crisis in January a few years back when for the first time in the history of the state there were 600 on trolleys in A&E wards

    Leo was on holiday in Miami.

    In fairness he flew back (because he had to, no doubt) and was determined to do something about it. . . .which he did because days later he walked into Miriam in RTE and told them he was gay.

    Over the weekend it was predicted that this number would rise to 1000 this winter.

    That's Leo.

    All spin, no action, more socks.
