I hear they're calling Bryson "Eddie The Legal" now in NI. The idea there should be "talks" about a sectarian, triumphalist Orange Order parade is like entertaining the idea of Germans goosestepping up the Champs-Élysées every June 14th waving their colonial banners & flags "coz are culture innit".

Talks on Drumcree parade dispute end at Hillsborough Castle without agreement

The support yesterday for the people of Garvaghy road, including those from a protestant & Unionist background in NI and from people around the globe, has been truly extraordinary. It really feels like it's time for NI to break free from colonial partition and re-join Ireland. quick 🧵

This image is historic in nature. It's not that there were never sympathetic Protestants and Unionists. It's that to go public 28 years ago (the time of the last march on Garvaghy Road) would've meant risking major harassment, violence, and even death. Women showing up for what's right. 🫡

yikes! this escalated quickly. "The legal and human-rights question is therefore a different one: does the protection of freedom of assembly require that a procession be permitted to follow this particular route through this particular residential community?"

ELDH Statement on the Garvaghy Road Parade
ELOH expresses its serious concern at the decision of the Parades Commission to permit an Orange Order procession along the Garvaghy Road in Portadown, and at the legal and institutional process which has resulted in the reopening of a dispute carrying profound historical significance for the local community and for Northern Ireland as a whole It is essential to be precise about the rights at stake.
This is not a question of denying freedom of peaceful assembly or the right to parade. Those rights are protected, Including under Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights Nor IS the question whether members of the Orange Order may assemble, parade or attend Drumcree Church For almost three decades those activities have continued while the procession has followed a route which does not pass along the Garvaghy Road The legal and human-rights question is therefore a different one: does the protection of freedom
of assembly require that a procession be permitted to follow this particular route through this particular residential community, notwithstanding the historical context, the rights and interests
of residents, and the availability of an alternative route which permits the parade itself to take place?

this is such a positive outcome from a ridiculous mess. Watch out England & Scotland! Orange men will likely move to britain post reunification. they won't be able to cope with the new equality in Ireland and their sectarian parades will likely be banned.

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.

Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.

for those watching Carney declare his grá for the EU and wondering what an "associate membership" actually means..sylvian kahn offers an insight. TL;DR: The EU has ditched the USofE model (it doesn't scale well) and is inventing new models of collaboration between nations.

"These are red flags about how Reform might govern if it got into power - state capture rarely starts with contracts changing hands, it starts with rules and regulations being treated as optional." Must read from @lizdavidbarrett.bsky.social democracyforsale.substack.com/p/reforms-un...

Reform’s undercover donations pave road to state capture

By making rule-breaking a selling point, Reform is signalling it's open for influence trading, says anti-corruption expert Liz David-Barrett.

I think England just passed their "5th avenue" moment, folks. BBCNews, the public broadcaster, isn't even trying to hide their bias for Reform who, along with the Tories & Restore, share very similar policies to AfD in Germany, now. Fun fact: The AfD are considered a "Nazi" party in Germany.
