Just had to deal with an aggressive member of the public and his mate. No big deal really but you do get a bit fed up with all of that.

It isn’t news that Winston Irvine was a UVF commander, and it isn’t surprising that a UVF commander would be holding guns. The only thing that is surprising is that the police actually did something about it.

I think it is horrendous to see a public figure have to endure allegations about her sex life being published in a newspaper. I don’t know why any court would allow that to happen and I don’t think newspapers should allow it either.

I don’t think anyone expects miracles, or even ‘magic money trees’. But they might hope for collective responsibility and shared priorities … and a bit of honesty with the electorate on what is, and what’s not, possible.

A petition is currently doing the rounds on social media calling for another general election. If years of Conservative Party misrule didn’t warrant an upheaval of democracy then why would Keir Starmer’s underwhelming start?
