On my way up to Teesside where Rishi Sunak is on the local elections campaign trail.

Picked a perfect day to get out of the big smoke and soak up the English countryside… 😬

There's a cliché in Irish politics: GUBU.

Dating from a political scandal in the 1980s, it stands for Grotesque, Unbelievable, Bizarre and Unprecedented.

Overused, as all political clichés are, this is one instance to which it is definitely applicable.

And here we go. Already, this spills into the ongoing row about the Irish Sea border.

It is a destabilising moment for Unionism. People will use it for their own political ends.

Tbh more than anything I’m just loving that the flags discourse is spreading beyond Northern Ireland.
