What would Allister put in the Assembly's place that would guarantee unionism's position? Is he like Enoch Powell who believed MPs' elected to Westminster did that- until the Anglo- Irish Agreement when he went apoplectic against Thatcher
Matthew, By threatening to deny NI consumers £100 to support their oil bills, SF are making mischief to make the Assembly fail under cover of the Drumcree boost..Call them out by name Matthew.
Brilliant post!
The future of Unionism. It’s all about leadership, stupid
It’s about leadership stupid. Something strange that has yet to be explained in the defenestration of Paisley the late chuckle brother. It was ideological as well as personal over his loss of gri

Willingly or not the BBC is implicated in this suit if it allegedly happened on air. Did Nolan ask for or need permission? irishnews.com/news/northern-…
Why is NI the UK outlier on testing? Hand it over to accredited private garages!

The EU Commission replies to Trump's tariffs on behalf of Ireland.

Oh no Samir. Not more "analysis" than goals on post- Lineker MoD. The show gives a fair view of play with goals only online. Casual fans don't want to spend all day watching matches live.
Alliance's niche should be to support the GFA settlement for both nationalities to co- exist equally and reject the binary choice as too divisive. The present stance is a cop-out.
This mitigation of Windsor Framework conditions requires writing EU law into British law. Starmer is set a huge problem. He won't want it to set a precedent for the terms of a re-set for smoother trade with the UK
