Leo Varadkar's resignation as Irish Taoiseach has taken most by surprise. Mick and Clare discuss what type of legacy he's leaving behind as they debunk the idea it's related to his comments on Palestine while in Washington for Saint Patrick's day. And while some resigned, others were being re-elected. Putin's victory has not come as much of a surprise, but while he is criticised for the lack of electoral transparency, we don't see enough outrage at our very own unelected bureaucrat Ursula von der Leyen and her power grab on EU foreign affairs.
