Ian Paisley Jr inviting Erika Kirk to Northern Ireland and wanting to set up a branch of Turning Point there should be a bigger story given the DUP's murky funding of advertising etc back in the Brexit referendum.

On the one hand I think there are several structural factors that have brought Orbán to a reckoning; on the other, I choose to believe the prospect of a re-democratisation of Hungary is down to Troy Parrott.
Irish striker’s late goal ended Hungary’s campaign and punctured the prime minister’s expensive sporting vision

Ireland, Day 1056 of The Rain. Everything is saturated to the grey of the sky. Moss covers every surface. The outdoors sounds like constant static. The entire staff of Met Éireann is on mental health leave. I’ve forgotten what dry clothes feel like.
It is still a yellow weather alert.

Rather inevitable that the FAI, who asked for Israel to be suspended from UEFA, are drawn against them in this autumn’s Nations League. Austria and Kosovo also in Group B3.
