Four-timer Jim in formidable form
Jim Shannon is back from his Christmas holidays full of beans.
The Strangford MP spoke in four different Commons debates on Tuesday.
A delayed flight meant he was, unfortunately, unable to make a speech in the debate on pension annuities, but the indefatigable DUP man got a question in anyway.
He also shared his views on the European Council, dementia services and compensation for mesothelioma sufferers. All in a day at the office for Shannon.
