Revolving door at Downing Street should end!

The Prime Minister needs to tell Sinn Fein that the shop is shut, and that they need to turn around and come back to the Assembly and start discussions with Peter Robinson and the DUP over the remaining issues to be resolved. This is politics, this is what Sinn Fein wanted to work - if it isnt working - fix it! but the fixing should be done here, not in Downing Street and not in Dublin.

The people of Northern Ireland have no stomach for another election 15 months after the last one, they thought they had seen the end of helicopters on lawns, they thought they had seen the end of parties vying for negotiating positions and the parties need to realise that what they do has an effect on the communities outside.

Robinson has made it clear he is willing to find ways to resolve the outstanding issues, Sinn Fein need to give him that opportunity.

Website updates and how to follow me on twitter

We are in the process of rejigging our website including redesigning the layout, I am planning on using this blog on a regular basis as part of that.

You can also check out what I am up to on twitter. A constant criticism of politicians has always been "Sure what do they do anyway?!" - well now you can see for yourselves using twitter and twitter mobile I will try and update as often as possible.

For those unfamiliar with twitter it is a kind of mini blog whereby you can keep up to date with where people are, what they are doing or what they are thinking. If you become a member you can choose to follow me and be updated automatically.
