Enda the new boot boy of politics

For so long such a sorry bunch of ministers, the Cabinet has now decided apology time is over, as Enda Kenny revealed himself to be the new boot-boy of Irish politics by going on the offensive.

Unfortunately for Fine Gael, that meant him being offensive to women voters, as he announced a key indicator of economic growth would be your ability to buy boots for your girlfriend.

Relaunching the relaunch of the last Government relaunch, Mr Kenny declared that jobs were important because: “That means getting on the employment ladder, being able to buy the car, the boyfriend, the girlfriend, buy the boots, or whatever. Live a life, as it were.”
