Bad company corrupts good character, the saying goes, but we’ll leave it up to you to decide which one is which.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has been named by US magazine Time as one of the 100 most influential people alongside the great, good, and downright bizarre.

Alongside US president Donald Trump, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohamed bin Salman, Chinese president Xi Jinping, and London mayor Sadiq Khan, the magazine’s writers said Mr Varadkar represents changing Irish society.
