On c4 News, IDS said that Ireland is playing politics over Brexit because it has upcoming presidential elections. 1. That election is in Nov 2018. 2. The president in Ireland has no power
Tommy Robinson fans post a picture of pro democracy protests in Cairo in 2010 and purport it to be yesterday's modest march in London. They complain that we dont give their cause enough coverage.

Mr Lawson has obviously never been in a truck shipping goods from CH to FR. It is NOT a frictionless border and French customs officers are allowed into CH to chase after suspects. I dont think the DUP would allow Irish officials roam around Co Antrim

I agree. He wants further deregulation as most entrepreneurs would. I suspect most of those who voted for brexit (ie not millionaires) might disagree

PartyGate podcast. Not least because of the great journalism but because it shows how much work goes on behind the scenes to break original journalism eg Lawyers, editors, right to reply and people denying the truth

@joncraig
I disagree with you on this one Craig. Jon was being stonewalled and wasn’t answering the questions. It would be better if journalists stood up to this kind of nonsense and ignored SPADs more.

You would be shocked how many people disagree with wearing face masks on principle in the UK. I was a victim of a “pile on“ only this week when I supported our colleague

who asked a woman on public transport to put on a mask.
Ingvar Kamprad har i stillhet somnat in i sitt hem i Småland. Han föddes 1926 i Småland och redan som 17-åring grundade han IKEA. Ingvar kommer att vara mycket saknad och varmt ihågkommen av sin familj och av IKEA-medarbetare över hela världen.

Sh** stirring on a global scale. Tucker Carlson probably can’t find Ireland on a map and wouldn’t be discussing this before Elon Musk started tweeting about it.
'Carillion asks Govt to speed up payments to it'. This is ironic, given that Carillion demands payment terms of up 120 days (4months) from its suppliers and some of its subcontractors

So unelected terrorists are demanding that a democratically elected leader in another country (one they hate) should resign over an agreement signed by 2 sovereign nations (including the country they love)

Didn't the Dublin Govt have a clear set of legislative proposals in the event of a Yes vote - so that the electorate knew exactly what it was voting for?
England rugby head coach Eddie Jones has "apologised unreservedly" after a video of him giving a sponsor’s speech about leadership in July in which he describes Wales as “a little shit place” and Ireland as “scummy” emerges. Here it is;

Macron is a very skilled politician. Is this Dissolution a “put up or shut up’ election that he is calling in the hope of making the French people decide who they really want to rule them before the next presidential elections in 3 years?
Ireland goes into lockdown. Citizens only allowed out to buy essential food and medicine. Only clearly defined 'key workers' can travel to work. Cocooning for everyone over 70

Awful. 60,000+ deaths is not enough proof apparently. Also knowing Hugh, he was certainly polite and friendly in his reminder re masks

Given Aldi's increasing market share in Ireland and the pressure it will put on other supermarkets to follow suit, this price cut might have a notably positive impact on grocery price inflation which had remain stubbornly high
@RottenTomatoes
Seriously. Could they not have approached an Irish actress? Saoirse Ronan or Evanna Lynch or Jessie Buckley? But I guess their Agents had one look at this script and ran a mile
Macron is doing the talking while Merkel leans in to offer suppor. Abe is standing back trying to remain neutral and Theresa May is there (obscured by Kudrow) but not really there. Trump's seated nonchalance with folded arms. John Bolton is just about to bark back

Indeed. How many young people these days go to a branch to open up an account with a traditional bank? It’s all in their phone. I recall opening up my first bank account aged 14 hoping that my loyalty would be rewarded when I came to look for a mortgage. It wasn’t
