Seems a lot of moderate nationalists and moderate unionists are moving back to SDLP and UUP, or throwing their hat into the Alliance ring. Great to see and more of it.

We worked in conjunction with MTK and it worked out. Obviously Daniel blessed it but he . . . he wasn’t hands-on (with) us doing the event. I guess he made sure that MTK people were checked, cooperating with us. “We were working well together. I wouldn’t say that he just walked away from it. I think he was involved from the standpoint that he wanted to make sure that everybody was cooperating on the event, which we were. “And we’ve got a very good relationship with MTK. Mick’s brother Jamie is a terrific kid.” Conlon and his brother Jamie have no involvement in crime.

I suppose people realise that the only other political option was the alternative ' Robin Hood ' budget. The supporters of that seem pretty muted from what I've seen since I came in from work.

Younger voters were significantly in favour of leaving the UK and joining the Republic of Ireland.

Which one is it?? Have they more say than we're led to believe in other things like health homelessness etc that were told us out of their control? Has this shown how badly they have handled the pandemic?

That s what has made securing the health of this island so difficult. The incidence of the virus in the north is down to this divisiveness and the failure of the state it has caused.
