Leo Varadkar will stay in politics ’for as long as the people want me’

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has u-turned on his own 2015 revelations he has an "exit strategy" for leaving politics in the next decade, saying he is now "100% committed to this job" and will stay "for as long as the people want me", write Fiachra Ó Cionnaith and Daniel McConnell.

The Fine Gael leader back-tracked on his own prediction just two years ago he could leave politics before he turns 50, saying he has not talked about quitting "for a very long time".
