NI council elections: Veteran Eamonn McCann back in politics

Veteran socialist Eamonn McCann has returned to politics, two years after losing his seat in the Northern Ireland Assembly.

The People Before Profit man was elected to Derry City and Strabane District Council on Saturday.

He said his party's performance in the Northern Ireland council elections showed that there is an appetite for politicians who want to represent "the interests of all the people at the bottom of society".
