Burton had to step down. Her party was absolutely decimated in the 2016 election. She was very lucky to retain her own seat. Labour still haven't recovered.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Captain America: Civil War is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Rodrigo Duterte has become the new President of the Philippines. In Irish politics, Joan Burton has just stepped down as leader of the Labour party following a disastrous performance in the 2016 general election.
