He lied through his teeth to get Leadership of the New Conservatives (t/a Labour).
If you’re feeling cheated and let down right now you’ve only got your own stupidity to blame.
The rest of us warned you — you chose not to listen.
Scotland — we need to cut ourselves free sooner rather than later.

Next steps! Please consider getting involved in tenants/workers unions and in community groups, especially if you're also a young person.
Change is about more than voting once every 5 years; it is something we must all collectively fight for day-to-day!

It's Christmas Day for election nerds in Ireland today. Forget hurling, forget Gaelic football, our national sport is Proportional Representation - Single Transferrable Vote (PR-STV), and today we're about to witness it in all its glorious beauty!
There will be tallies, there will be spreadsheets, there will be speculation and analysis, and eventually, there will be people elected to Dáil Éireann. There is no greater spectacle in global democracy!
