In Westminster news away from Westminster... Northern Ireland have being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century; as the DUP get their wish of having similar laws in NI and RotUK.
Which means legalisation for abortion and gay marriage.
Wait, hang on, no, that's not the DUP want at all, it's just the natural sequelae of what they want... against their wishes... erm...

I liked the fact that the NI executive was going to meet up for the first time in 18 months. Was it to do with Brexit, one of the most important political shifts in NI's history? Was it because of the mountain of things that need doing? Was it actually to govern the country instead of decisions being made by civil servants who are just blundering along? Fuck no, the only thing that can get the warring sides back to the table is the prospect of women being allowed to control their own bodies. Once that's done with, they can go back to letting the country moulder.
