Brian Feeney: DUP sleepwalking into border poll that unionism could lose (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE DUPâs Gavin Robinson was quickly out of the traps to repudiate Donald Trumpâs remarks on Irish unity. He posted on X that âNorthern Irelandâs constitutional future will be decided by the people of Northern Ireland, not by commentary in London, Dublin or Washingtonâ, thereby inadvertently accepting that there will be a reunification referendum. Another takeaway from his riposte is that Robinson accepts that the north is not like, altogether now, âthe rest of the UKâ. After all,
Brian Feeney: Thereâs no point trying to reform an Assembly that simply doesnât work (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WEâRE told that Micheál Martin raised the matter of reform of the Assembly and Executive when he met Andy Burnham in Manchester last Friday. Before the meeting, Martin said: âMost political parties in the north now support reform of strand one. So, after the next Assembly elections, it shouldnât be up to any one party to veto the convening of the Assembly and the appointment of Executive⦠I think the two governments working at lockstep can bring a lot of progress to the situation.â Th
Brian Feeney: Twenty-five years after 9/11, America is still sowing dragonâs teeth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE cataclysmic events of September 11 2001, known everywhere by the American dating convention as 9/11, still reverberate today in both the US and in the Middle East, in Iran, and indeed in the wider Muslim world.

Many people forget that there were four planes involved in what was a carefully coordinated
Brian Feeney: DUP and Orange Order know there wonât be Garvaghy Road march â but thatâs not the point (opens the original)
Read excerpt
YOU might think the provocative, preposterous demand to march along Garvaghy Road, which has so dismayed most people north and south, is to do with the DUPâs problems. Many on social media think so. They note that the demand was driven by what, for want of a better word, are described as âpoliticiansâ in the DUP, before leading figures from all other unionist parties piled in. To complete the tribal array, even poor, lost Doug Beattie, in a pitiful attempt to save his political skin next M
Brian Feeney: Will it be guns or government for Burnhamâs Britain? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
PRESIDENT Macron was the first foreign leader Andy Burnham met in Downing Street since he became prime minister. Burnham is at the beginning of his stint, Macron at the end of his. A new French president will be elected next May. During his years in office Macron has, largely successfully, worked to position France as the leading power in Europe, not just in the EU. That is particularly the case with European defence. Macron has increased Franceâs expenditure on defence by 43% in the last deca
