    Who is Jamie Bryson, the unelected loyalist standing ‘front, back and centre’ at Drumcree? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This week Jamie Bryson was happily repeating a line he first delivered to Orange Order supporters in Portadown early on Monday morning. “Either the Portadown District goes down [the Garvaghy Road] or the Executive goes down,” he said. Avowedly opposed in his politics to the Belfast Agreement, the 1998 deal underpinning Northern Ireland’s peace process, Bryson would consider either outcome a terrific result. That declaration seemed a trite pompous but, for a period on Monday, it seemed he m

    Breandán Mac Cionnaith profile: The ex-IRA man who Tony Blair said ‘took unreasonableness to an art form’ (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    To have been a fly on the wall when Breandán Mac Cionnaith met Britain’s Northern Secretary Chris Bryant on Monday afternoon would have been interesting. Former Labour prime minister Tony Blair could have briefed Bryant on what to expect. In his memoir, Blair remembered the Drumcree “nightmare” that began in the mid-1990s. He didn’t specify whether he was referring to the Orange Order or the Garvaghy residents, or both,, but his view was that “the Drumcree people were the unreasonable

    Peadar Tóibín thinks big with hopes of more seats – and possibly holding balance of power (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín, buoyed by a recent political poll, was envisaging great gains by his party on both sides of the Border at his party’s think-in in Derry on Saturday. But he will know that, like the stock exchange, polls and political popularity can go down as well as up. Still, sufficient for the day is the pleasure thereof and Tóibín wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to major on how an Ireland Thinks poll for the Sunday Independent had Aontú at 8 per cent, the same as the

    Aontú has hopes for twelve seats in next general election, Peadar Tóibín tells party faithful (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Aontú could win up to twelve seats in the next Irish general election and alongside significant gains in next year’s Stormont and local elections in Northern Ireland, leader Peadar Tóibín told members at the party’s annual think-in in Derry on Saturday. Aontú was experiencing “enormous growth” because it was pursuing policies that mattered to grassroots people while Sinn Féin was “locked in a downward spiral in relation to the delivery of public services”, he told party faithful

    Andy Burnham in Belfast: Mixing up Donegal and Drogheda, but crystal clear on Border poll (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Andy Burnham in Belfast on Thursday was rather confused about the origin of his Irish antecedents – we’ll come to that – but he was in no doubt about his position on a Border poll on a united Ireland. He is against it. And there was no prevarication. “I am here to listen and to collaborate but some issues will be off the table, and that is one of them,” he told The Irish Times. And in case there was any doubt on the matter, in separate interviews with BBC Northern Ireland and UTV he re
