Though from reading through todays press it seems that he will indeed be going independent and thus entitled to the same perks as all other independents. If he negotiates a deal with Bertie to continue supporting government he can have his cake and eat it too in the form of re-election promises/deliveries Jeez Dan, I am sure your not suggesting that principle comes with a nice tasty pay-off are you?

Still at least he stood over his own comments earlier in the week. Adam no idea if he is gonna go to Labour but that would be some move if it happened! Not sure they would want to 'handle' him though. O’keefe has been a pain to Bertie for quite a while now so perhaps FF wont be sorry to see him go.
