Tips for living with or covering a Coalition

I’m getting my fill of elections and politics at the moment by watching as much as possible on the happenings across the water and less so up the road in Northern Ireland.

Photo on Labour’s Flickr Stream and taken on Sunday 10th in Artane/Whitehall. If anyone ever manages to canvas me I’ll get a picture and give them a glass of [...]

My partner’s relatives are now confirmed in their thoughts that I’m a lunatic as I decide to approach Frank McBrearty [...]
