Collins should now withdraw as a candidate in North Down as he has been exposed as a political idiot. North Down has an experience of electing independent minded MPs and not members of the UUP!

As an elector in London I had always voted Conservative but this time I will vote Reform UK as the Conservatives agreed for a border within the United Kingdom. The Conservative Party has betrayed the people of Northern Ireland!

Premier League now between Manchester City and Liverpool

Clearly the violent Celtic supporter had to be removed from the fight.I assume it was before ‘take off’ and not after ‘landing’

So 10 members of the UN Security Council vote for Palestine Membership of the UN and only 2 members abstain. Shamefully 1 is the United Kingdom which a few nations still misname as being Britain!(including France!)

The way ahead in the Middle East is a two state solution with an independent Palestine as a full member of the United Nations on the basis of both Palestine and Israel recognising each other.Shame on the USA exercising a veto to block Palestinian Membership of the UN.

Not one of the MLAs for Newry/Armagh has requested a meeting with the Minister responsible for Roads to discuss the delay in construction of the 2 By Passes around Armagh City. The land was acquired over 30 years ago. Sinn Fein is failing the people of Armagh City!!

Rishi Sunak is a reliable Prime Minster who is factual!

Time the Leaders of Iran and Israel displayed a little Christianity towards each other before they start uncontrolled chaos!

Iran and Israel have ‘cracy’ leaders. I fear both could use nuclear weapons!!

Great News in today’s Ulster Gazette that the former Chapter 5 Restaurant in The Moy, Co Tyrone is about to reopen!!

Presumably the high rates in Armagh City are due in part to pay an officer at ABC Council to promote tourism in the City. Time the press checked what was done in the past year as local councillors have not!

Shocking that so far this year 200 restaurants; cafes; etc have closed down in the Republic of Ireland mainly due to the high VAT rate in the RoI.

A Bryson -v- Robinson contest in East Belfast would hand the seat over to the Alliance Party or some United Irelander!

Totally irresponsible for Lord Cameron to state that Iran has experienced a ‘double defeat’ That will encourage a more devastating attack by Iran.

Alliance in North Down are United Irelanders!!

The future depends upon the majority having the consent of the minoriy
Ie both sides having to compromise

So Simon Harris, RoI Prime Minister, states that there will be recognition of the Palestinian State ‘when the time is right!’ Whatever that means . In truth it means nothing!!!

It is incredible. More people follow me on line than follow the European Parliament on line!!
