The British-Irish Council (BIC) meeting on the Isle of Man last Friday was pretty much a non-event, partly because there’s a British general...
Leaving aside the relative party strengths shown in the latest LucidTalk poll, the rank order of which hasn’t changed, what is remarkable is the...
Taken together, Leo Varadkar’s remarks in his interview with Jim Fitzpatrick at the Ireland’s Future conference on Saturday constitute a game...

The council and Euro elections in the south were in some ways uncannily like those in 2019, but in other ways different. The results raise more...
I’m afraid, Alex, you’re concentrating on what the Greeks called ‘adiaphora’ – inessentials, matters of indifference. You’re also...
Nominations of candidates for the Westminster election close on Friday so we don’t know all the runners and riders yet, but watching the parties...
We’re told self-styled ‘hard man of Brexit’ Steve Baker is on holiday in Greece. That brings to mind, though in entirely different context,...
Fighting a British general election in the north is an anomaly. Strangely, most of the parties here don’t realise that. They talk as if they’re in...
Delay, dysfunction, dereliction of duty. Stormont during the Covid pandemic? Yes, but Westminster all the time. Why does it take Britain so long –...
Sixteen days from now, on June 7, voters in the Republic go to the polls to elect nearly 1,000 councillors and 14 MEPs in three enormous...
We’re in a holding pattern in more ways than one. ‘Holding pattern’ usually refers to a plane going round in circles before it can land or, as...
People are getting antsy about lack of delivery from Stormont, with particular emphasis on the lack of a programme for government. The delay is...
There was a revealing spat last week between the NIO and academic historians about the British government’s plans to bowdlerise the original...

One of the characters in the ‘Nonsense Novels’ of Stephen Leacock, the Canadian humourist, was Lord Ronald. On one occasion “he said nothing;...

Changed times. There was a Fianna Fáil ard fheis at the weekend. It didn’t feature in the north’s media, electronic or print. Time was the...
After the North-South Ministerial Council meeting on Monday, Leo Varadkar’s last political event as taoiseach, he emerged and gave an interview in...
Simon Harris, the new taoiseach, is from Greystones, County Wicklow. The town has expanded rapidly in the last 20-odd years and now has a population...
Barring a thunderbolt striking the Dáil on Tuesday, 37-year old Simon Harris will become the youngest taoiseach since, well, Leo Varadkar. Currently...
Here’s one change that largely went unremarked by our unionist-dominated media. Though UTV did broadcast the scene, they didn’t mention its...

You have to admit the Alliance party is anything but secretive. The headlines of this week’s opinion poll may be the percentages for and against...
Micheál Martin’s Irish News interview last week was wide of the mark about the north in a number of respects but his observations on policing were...
Last week Micheál Martin told The Irish News he was “concerned that sport is becoming an issue of contention and it shouldn’t be”. He was...
During the Irish government’s announcements of funding for projects in the north and all-island developments, it went largely unnoticed that...
Perhaps you’re one of those who thought that, in the famous line of the English 1966 World Cup commentator, “They think it’s all over”....
“We are the people”, a unionist slogan you don’t hear these days, was the populist version of Craig’s infamous boast in April 1934: “We are...
You’ve read this judgement by General de Gaulle here before but it’s worth reminding you of it again: “For England there is no alliance which...
The most striking poll in recent times was the LucidTalk/Sunday Times one last October which found that 57% of 18-24 year olds would vote for a united...
