🧵on my thoughts Tl:dr - great debate..I’m probably in the @andrew_trimble @DearbhailDibs @Saraita101 “space” 1/

@iainmartin1 It’s VERY hard to see any “good economic outcomes” for UK over next 10-15yrs (sadly as I live here with kids also)… 2030’s as “1970’s rerun”…2040’s seems earliest “1980’s recovery” scenario seems like a “best case”🤯 But who knows

@aigne_aighne “It’s The Telegraph” would (sadly) seem to apply

@SimonCatRiley @Choyaa13 @irish_news I’m not sure we actually know that (either way)… A poll is a poll…not least on an abstract A proper referendum with a real question, real engagement, with an actual vote… That would tell us (either way)

@Choyaa13 Anytime this (very sensible) is suggested… It’s unionism that seems most against it But clearly it’s a failed entity (sadly)

@richardtgarland …because the only answered offered was as hard a physical border as possible (as a starting point)… Which unionism would seek to make harder over time The clear majority of NI reject that…as has WM

@SimonCatRiley @Choyaa13 @irish_news If you say so… Less than 50% actively support (in a poll) the current arrangement

@arisroussinos Isn’t it all a bit too early for analysis as to how the Trump stuff plays out?

@greenmiranda Her “legacy” is fascinating & perhaps like Merkel will wax/wane? To me (59yr) at the moment… 1. Gave UK a big, needed, shake 2. Used “oil money” to move MFG-finance 3. Looked great till 2007 4. Looks like a mirage now 5. By 2035 - UK (on her “foundations”) stagnant for ~30yrs

@Louise_m_perry @maiden_podcast USA evangelicals appear to be so focused on the Old Testament & most of their “life credo” seems so at odds with the (very challenging) New Testament that it is perhaps time for them to create a new “post Jesus Christ” religion They seem very religious - just not Christian

@Choyaa13 @AlexKane221b Respectfully I doubt anybody can “fix NI’s NHS”… Not really a dig at any local party or “constitutional point”… I personally think it’s beyond fixing (sadly)

@Choyaa13 @irish_news One is trending up (slowly)…one the reverse I guess you/unionism will have to decide how safe the union is in relation to “economic unionists” (but not “culturally British”) in the likely economic position of UK/NI over next 10yrs (stagnant) Interesting times…it’s not 1985

@timcairns @williamcrawley …me too🤪… Just don’t tell my daughter🤠

@timcairns @williamcrawley Can’t speak for your kids… Mine keener on getting houses built…but as my 29yo (non sweary) said… “You F*****G boomers have your F*****G houses….glad you have such F****G big issues like straws to worry about…”

@JP_Biz When buying ANYTHING… Quality Service Price Make your choice…you get to choose 1 1st priority This isn’t complicated

@NewtonEmerson £28/month… What is reasonable to expect for such a low price?

@richardtgarland …indeed… On we rumble…doubtless our “unionist Brexitier friends” will be Labour etc…seeking a “better Brexit” for NI? Or…dreaming of a “full fat…BIG wall” Brexit from Reform government in 2030? On we rumble..,

@JavierBlas Cannot comment on his/Labour’s sincerity… But severely doubt its capacity, capability & “staying power” to see any/all of this stuff thru the inevitable “generation long” fight
