๐ฎ๐ช Ireland's Taoiseach (PM) Micheรกl Martin is launching a new government body to research UNITY with Northern Ireland for the FIRST time.
It will examine 3 scenarios: full 32-county unity, NI remaining in the UK, and a united Ireland with a devolved North under Dublin.
Martin wants an evidence-based discussion, not partisan pushes that treat a border poll as easy and inevitable. He aims to include unionist voices.
Cabinet proposals are expected before Christmas.
Wouldnโt it be wild to see a united Ireland again?

SNP Ministers have scuppered the Coul Links golf course near Dornoch. A major development that would have added ยฃ12m a year to the local economy of East Sutherland and created 400 new jobs.
Coul Links was overwhelmingly support by the local community. This was the wrong decision and yet another example of Edinburgh Ministers running roughshod over Highland communities.
Lord Frost is right.
Labour want to spin this as a great act of wise benevolence. The very fact it took so long for Jackdaw to be approved is symptomatic of the UKs dysfunctional energy policy. The Norwegians, for example, would never have allowed themselves to be tied up in knots over this.
"The real charge against ministers on the back of the Jackdaw decision is not that they have abandoned their net zero policy. It is that they have not."
My @Telegraph column tonight on where the Jackdaw decision leaves our woeful energy policy. ๐

MSPs are given public money to run effective parliamentary offices that deliver for local constituents. These funds are not for personal vanity projects, that is why the Public Finance Minister (dealing with a ยฃ5bn deficit) advertising an โartist in residenceโ role smacks of sheer ego and entitlement.
I was on @bbcshetland to discuss this.
Became a Minister straight after election without passing go. Contributions in the chamber have been full of sanctimony and faux indignation. So no surprise at todayโs Daily Mail splash on her โpersonal artistโ. Does she think sheโs Mary Queen of Scots?
I have written to the Presiding Officer to ask that he recall Parliament for an urgent ministerial statement from the Transport Secretary on the safety of the MV Glen Sannox.
There are serious questions about the gas leak which MSPs must be able to put to Stephen Flynn.
Tonight we broke the cosy system in the Scottish Parliament by forcing a vote on whether an entirely legitimate debate on face coverings should continue.
Only 1 Tory could be bothered to turn up. Reform is the real opposition in this Parliament.

You say that drugs minister Maree Todd has failed, and yet you wouldnโt back a vote of no confidence in her yesterday.
Talk is cheap.
The SNP drugs minister said it was "impossible" to say if she's doing a good job.
She is NOT.

Then they can answer for this in Parliament next week.
None of the other parties in the Scottish. Parliament are backing the Reform motion of no confidence in Drugs Minister @MareeToddMSP

Do I look โfumingโ there to you?
Now that we're off the camera and he can't hide behind bluster in the chamber. I have written to the Minister, seeking an urgent answer on the delays to the A96 dualling programme.
I am in politics to stand up for my constituents in the Highlands and Islands; first, last and always.
Today I asked the SNP Minister to confirm that net zero ideology would never again be allowed to delay the vital dualling of the A96 road.
Of course, I didn't get a proper response. Jim Fairlie is clearly taking some lessons from the Stephen Flynn guide to contemptuous answers.
Evidence of a Labour split already? Lord George seems to have a backbone compared to Marraโs kid gloves approach today.
I was pleased to meet with the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland this morning on behalf of @ReformUKScot.
The national church has an important role in providing moral leadership and spiritual succour to the nation. Reform MSPs wish the Kirk well in doing so.
Like Saturn, the Revolution devours its children.

A Green MSP has said she was 'deeply disappointed' by colleague Q Manivannanโs remarks about rape, arguing politicians should not be 'intellectualising everything all the time'.
Holly Bruce said she had challenged Manivannan directly over the comments and would continue working with them following their apology ๐
