#CoddleNotConnolly
I’m running for President on a single solemn promise to the Irish people: A Free Therapy Owl for everyone who wants one.

Rumours that the Business Post poll (out at 8pm) has me significantly closing the gap on Catherine Connolly.
Serious momentum now. #CoddleNotConnolly

Formal application done. Now I just have to sit back and wait for all the media coverage and interview requests to come rolling in. #CoddleNotConnolly

I’m running for president on a promise to introduce a third higher rate of income tax on anyone caught posting links to the Irish Independent. No exceptions. #CoddleNotConnolly

I’m launching my Presidential campaign in Lidl, Ballymun at 1pm.
Housing, Education, Tackling Inequality, Policing Hyrox types and offering 3 pastries for €3 for campaign supporters who have the Lidl Plus app on their phones.

Come along.

Genuinely think Jim Gavin is only entering the race now because he saw an opportunity when the left selected Catherine Connolly over me as their so-called unity candidate. #CoddleNotConnolly

Just want to put it on the record that I am the last remaining no-hoper and deeply unserious person left on the half-arsed-seeking-a-nomination train. #CoddleNotConnolly
Maria Steen has bowed out. She won't be running for President.

Gareth Sheridan has bowed out. He won’t be running for President.

My deeply unserious, less than half-arsed and entirely fictional #CoddleNotConnolly presidential campaign drama did better than Fianna Fáil’s Jim Gavin’s. I mean, at least I didn’t lose a fortune on the campaign. #VoteGroves

Just got the call. It’s happening. The bribes are in the bucket. #CoddleNotConnolly #Groves4Prez

Full disclosure: I approached Harry about joining my #CoddleNotConnolly campaign. He sent me a link for better help dot com.
People will literally run for the presidency of Ireland instead of going to therapy
How about this? Let’s ALL run for President.

Personal News: Following a brief chat Darach and I have agreed that he should step away from his advisory role with my presidential campaign until he agrees that #CoddleNotConnolly is better than any other slogan in the field.
We need to talk about the way Irish presidential elections create a space where unsuitable candidates with no chance of a nomination, let alone the Áras itself, get access to airtime/coverage that is not available to real, elected politicians doing valuable but slightly complex/dull work.

Another successful giant canvas today. Don’t be fooled by the so-called opinion polls. I’m still in this thing. #CoddleNotConnolly

It’s happening!

Just over 2hrs until the launch in Lidl, Ballymun. Free slice of Hazlet with every first preference pledge!

This guy is like a less lefty me. He steals all his social media comms from my #CoddleNotConnolly campaign.
Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT.

I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

Someone (Bernard) did this to be mean. But it’s actually beautiful xx

Conor is right. Dublin is still great. Yet he refused to back my #CoddleNotConnolly campaign. Make it make sense.
Would be nice to hear the candidates push back against this notion that Dublin is some sort of dystopian hell hole

Just on the presidential race and my candidacy. I have no interest in being a president for all. Honestly, I’m just looking for tickets to the football and maybe the odd trip somewhere warm. Other than that you won’t even know I’m around. Isn’t that worth voting for?

As President I would immediately hire 1,000 new teachers and 500 new Special Needs Assistants.

I would pay for it by charging a flat fee of €40 for every use of a Fontaines D.C. or Kneecap song* in an instagram reel.

This Friday vote #CoddleNotConnolly

*it’s just noise. Unlike Bagatelle!

Thank you to the hundreds of people (just out of shot) who came to my Presidential campaign launch. The buzz around the self-serve checkout was unreal. As are the offers on running socks and inflatable watermelons. #VoteGroves #CoddleNotConnolly

*Cliff Livingstone voice* WHAT TIME IS IT?

GAME TIME, HUU!

Nonsense. I’m the people’s candidate. I’m the only one who tells it like it is geopolitically and calls out the creeping bohs jerseyification of leftist politics. #CoddleNotConnolly
Catherine Connolly is the people's candidate, and won't have the support of legacy media, the political establishment, or the financial backing of other candidates.

Vote for me for president and I’ll promise to open a crisp sambo restaurant on the top of the Poolbeg Stacks. There’ll be a Coddle pot dispensary on the ground floor. #CoddleNotConnolly
