Just read the fantastic news on BBC website - well done Tigs et al.
Unfortunately, the way it has been reported, the words that have come out of Liam Byrnes mouth makes it seem that he is making out that this decision would have come about anyways, regardless of the petition and the streling effort by everyone.
Obviously pure Politico claptrap, but don't expect an apology or an admittance of having made a bad decision from Mr Byrne in the near future.
