Update:
I’ve just called @alankellylabour to congratulate him on his election as leader of the @labour party.
I can’t thank my campaign team & my family enough for their support over the last few weeks.
Time now to unite and work together for our great party and our country.

This morning [Saturday].
The UK Labour Party has also a new leader.
That’s the end of the Labour Party. People have not forgotten Kelly’s support of water charges.
My first thought.

do ye remember when Stephen Donnelly was sound?
I’ll say it again: a mind like McGyver…

He looks like a guy who wants the job so much he can taste it
It reminds me of those so intent to join all that wanted the Celtic tiger
Plenty of them in the documentary burnt by the sum
in the great pantheon of ‘who cares?’. the labour leadership… ahem ‘race’ of 2020 will be held aloft to all, agog with indifference
It must be worth a lot to him, leaders allowance, extra expenses etc.
He’s back baby.
By the look on his face in that photo it looks like he’s already logged on.
…could not believe he was re-elected…well…maybe I can…no I can’t!!!
…oh James Connolly…
If it is Alan Kelly to win, they’ve made the right choice. O’Riordan would have brought them down the road of identity politics and paternalism, further distancing themselves from ordinary working people.
correct. o riordhan is an apostle of everything that that majority of people privately don’t agree with modern politics
Well that’s a tone deaf victory, if I ever saw one.
That photo is basically me when you reply to my posts.
Oooh yeah baby.
I replied to your post on Nick’s voucher post but it hasn’t appeared. Thought I was on the naughty step again.
In fairness, one is bad as the other
I often forget we have a Labour party
Social Democrats too
Hes an awful so and so.
Close friend of John Delaney too.
Over Crayon
Any day of the week
And again at the weekend
AK was outstanding in the Dáil and pretty much led the opposition to open up Francie Fitz and the girls along with their carry-on stitching up Maurice McCabe
They may as well put Burton back in charge, as put this guy behind the wheel. Both are responsible for Labours jump to the right, and essentially the ruination of the party.
“Power is like a drug, and it suits me”. That was that helmet badger wasn’t it?
RIP Labour Party – water charges, power drug, parish politics…
Labour is just Fine Gael on CD.
AK will be 47 before Labour recover.
