THE LABOUR PARTY leadership contest is beginning to kick off in earnest, with the first hustings between the top two candidates taking place in Dublin yesteday.
The contest sees Dublin Bay North TD Aodhán Ó Ríordáin and Tipperary representative Alan Kelly bid to replace Brendan Howling as leader, following his resignation after the party’s worst-ever election result.
The contest is expected to last another four weeks and the winner will be decided by a majority vote of the party membership.
Today we’re asking: Who do you think should be the next Labour Party leader?

Quick find his crayons…
@Chemical Brothers: One’s probably lodged firmly up his nose…
@Chemical Brothers: I bet the orange is down to a mere stub!
I am sure it will be a bigly book, the biggest selling best seller ever.
@Kevin Barry: Called Goodfellas…
If Trump writes ‘the real book’ it’ll be (as they say in Blackadder) the greatest work of fiction since the vow of fidelity was included in the French marriage ceremony.
I read “Fire and Fury”. Obviously mostly just made up. Made the author a fortune. I am surprised Woodward jumped on this bandwagon. Still, some temptations are difficult to resist.
@Dave Slater: How is it obvious? Any sources?
@Dave Slater: which president was the last one he didn’t write a book about?
@Dave Slater: How on earth do you know what is made up and whats not?
@Dave Harris: he must have been there.
@Paul Furey:
Apparently he recorded pretty much everything.
It’ll be fun.
Will there be complete sentences or just a stream of fevered gibberish?.
@Willie Tierney: A sort of Finnegans Wake for morons ?
Trump write a book, he is having a laugh. He has the attention span of a goldfish. Is notorious for his inability to concentrate on anything longer than a single sheet of A4, needs visual aids to understand simple memos. So lets not pretend he has ever written anything longer than his name.
@Mick.: I would’nt be suprised if he was illiterate.
Trump Writing a book, that’s a good joke
@Barry Somers:
It will be a kid book called The Louse in The Big White House or The Greatest Story Never Told !!
@Barry Somers: it will have the best words!!
“now disproven anonymous and unnamed sources.” How does that work?
@Dave O Keeffe:
@Anton Dec:
Sorry I meant “blank”
Fake news and lies
@Margaret Kane: Just like your facebook account, aye?
@Seán Ó Briain: what are you talking about
@Margaret Kane: Woodward states he has recorded tapes of all interviews
@Margaret Kane:
Apparently not.
Maybe wait until it comes out and he offers proof before deciding what is fake and what is not. Also worth Googling Woodward. One of the most important journalists in the USA.
Of course shouting “fake news” at everything is one option. Try actually researching what the facts are and make your mind up then.
Or just believe what Trump says.
I prefer to use my brain before I venture opinions on anything.
It would be nice if just for one day he wasn’t in the news
He’ll write a book what a joke he can’t even speak properly
@Margaret Kane: you’re gonna get dizzy jumping back and forth over that fence..
If he hires the ghost writer Andrew Crofts he will have an international bestseller due to public interest in all that is Trump.
@neilo: you writing a book ?
@Quentin Moriarty: if he treats them like his last ones he’ll be lucky! He couldn’t find a ghostwriter to write a cheque these days. lol

More cash for next election .
Dollar is king .
These books are a joke, written by people to make a quick buck out of the fools that will rush out to buy them. And those who buy them call Trump stupid, lol.
@The Bull McCabe: the book is written by arguably the most important and respected journalist in the U.S.. brought down a sitting president and has written a book on every sitting president since. He is viewed by many as a diligent reporter. His books on sitting presidents are widely anticipated. There is a reason this book is making as many waves as it is. But by all means, seek your information from more reputable sources
Oh god would you ever just disappear you moron. How much longer do we have to be tortured by the dross coming out of this fool.
@The Exhibition Guy!: How is he a fool? He’s a billionaire and managed to become president.
@The Bull McCabe: exactly, I hope he laughs his head off before he goes to bed
Sadly, it looks like he is so vain that he takes all this very personally
@The Bull McCabe: and was smart to know that the production line worker only cared about more bucks in their pay packet
Elected .
No fool .
@The Bull McCabe: and was smart to know that the production line worker only cared about more bucks in their pay packet
Elected .
Whatever he is he’s no fool.
@The Bull McCabe: and was smart to know that the production line worker only cared about more bucks in their pay packet
Elected
@Quentin Moriarty: but the production line worker wasnt smart enough to know he was been duped unless he was in that top tax break bracket, Donnie fooled them all
@The Bull McCabe:
He inherited money and lost a lot of it – hardly a killer business brain….
@Walt Jabsco: he’s been very successful in quite a number of different fields, a rare achievement no matter what way you look at it. Doesn’t mean he’s intelligent in the more academic understanding of things, but he’s certainly no fool.
@The Bull McCabe: Spoon from Arse and a nanny.
@The Bull McCabe: there’s no proof he’s a billionaire and how he became president is the fault of the fools who voted for him
By write he means pay someone to do it. By pay someone I mean he will commission the work but not pay. By real he means the furthest thing from.
Trump represents a fantasy on both sides, those that hate him and also those who love him are both in fantasies about him and he’s feeding both fantasies at the same time in order to get re-elected again. That has destroyed the office of the POTUS now…
Bozo lier trump
It’s already out and called where’s wally!!!
Ahh yes “An idiots guide to PROTUS”
But your book would be fake news Donald!
have your say
