Northern Ireland could be in line for a much needed shakeup. You can be a unionist without being a racist, homophobe, misogynist, transphobic, and supporter of child abusers.

You can’t support the DUP without all the above though. Maybe people will wake up and realise where they’ve sleepwalked to.

Gänswein is in limbo right now. Well, Freiburg. But he doesn’t have a job as such and is basically an intern “assisting” Freiburg’s archbishop. Quite the decline for the former éminence grise.

Oh no.It’s just part of the job of the president of Argentina. Everyone who sits in that chair must say or shout that the Falkland/Malvinas Islands belong to Argentina. Even if they don’t believe it. And nowadays, Argentines are in such a state of penury that, for example, they are buying vintage F16 fighters that belonged to Denmark in such small quantities that it will be impossible to attempt a military adventure.
