Professor Jon Tonge has conducted a survey in the Alliance Party and has found that the number of Alliance members favourably disposed towards a united Ireland is much increased. What are the ramifications of that, if any?

Finally, George Galloway says he despises Rishi Sunak and so do millions and millions of British people. Is he overstating things in the flush of Rochdale victory?

Jimbob was very opposed to paedophilia when it was Catholic priests but totally in favour when it was his rugby-playing chum. There’s a book out by the daughter. Important to remember that Jimbob’s parents are both from free Ulster. Maybe he should go back to his own country. What is the story with Free Staters and the DUP? Willie Hay, Middleton etc etc. And Jimbob in his day.
