Arlene Foster – journalist

Thank God Boris has finally taken on European Court of Justice, says DAME ARLENE FOSTER

IS the Government finally going to deal with the iniquitous NI protocol? It certainly appears so. At long last we have published legislation which reasserts the Acts of Union and by doing so gives primacy to the single market of the United Kingdom.

For those of us in Northern Ireland however, the glorious 12th is the celebration of the Glorious Revolution through the 12th July demonstrations. As someone from the Orange/British community in this part of the UK, this is always a part of the year I look forward to – family members come home from other parts of the UK and beyond and the cultural expression is loud and proud to celebrate the victory of William at the Battle of the Boyne.

Now, who is Richard Neal?

The brutality of Putin continues as I write this week and the humanitarian crisis has given us the largest movement of people since World War 2. As we sit at home in our warm, safe comfortable homes, we marvel at the plucky Ukrainians who are standing up to this Imperial bully boy – at times as we watch news coverage it is as if we are watching a movie of a dystopian time which could not happen in reality.
