Today’s judgement on the A5 is a disaster for the Department of Infastructure: this is the fourth time courts have rejected plans since first proposed in… 2007! Surely someone read Stormont’s own environmental requirements? Seems careless and v.costly.

Getting to the cruelty and shocking human, social and economic cost of racially-motivated violence in NI at today’s seminar on ‘Planning our way out of Division’ @UlsterUni. Nothing about this builds a better future, for anyone.

Just back from the hospital where my sister is seriously ill and being cared for by night nurses who came here from Africa and Asia. So this is unbearable, shameful and disgusting to me. And committed by children given implicit ‘permission’ by adults.

I’m convinced the association of cycling with the carry basket more than with lycra is a key step in normalising it as an everyday activity for all ages and genders. Not getting into the hemet debate -but few on view in Meran/o last week while the off-road tracks were brilliant.

Ken Bloomfield was a crucial advocate for change in NI from within the system. His work after retirement was groundbreaking, especially in relation to victims. Along with Maurice Hayes and George Quigley he was a key public servant enabling NI’s transition in the 1990s.

The UK Labour Party now has two role models and fewer excuses.
The 5 Dimensional Chess Master Strategists currently running the UK Labour Party might want to take a look at Canada and Australia for a hint of what happens to Centre Left parties with the courage to fight Far Right populism.

Much like Elon Musk elsewhere I suspect.
Lynton Crosby's guidance provided the Australian Liberal Party and the UK Conservative Party with short term tactical wins at the expense of long term strategic viability.

After Canada, now Australia votes against the right. And, as in Canada the opposition leader loses his seat.
