@JonTonge @MarkCarruthers7 Tonge & Graham on this same episode is just like watching BBC Newsnight at present, as painful as extracting teeth. No doubt both will be at The Mon Hotel this weekend.

Germany's Chancellor Merz on pension reform: We have decided to get a very comprehensive pension reform underway now... possibly the most difficult reform project of our time, at least the most difficult reform project in social policy. There will no longer be this trend — ever higher contributions, ever lower benefits. It will be reversed. We do not make politics for one electoral term. We make politics, especially in old-age security, for the next generation.

A hugely significant day in UK politics no matter where you are. The political landscape has been changing for quite some time and today map was redrawn. But people are united on one thing; change! Where does Northern Ireland fit into all of this? It's clearer than ever to me that while people are talking about Reform the party, we need Reform of Stormont. We don't know what the future holds, but one thing is certain, we need to guard against all eventualities and the last thing we want is to be without a devolved government. We need a robust system that can't collapse. We need to know that whoever is in Govt in Westminster, that we are in charge of our future. No one else can solve or care about our problems apart from us. Reform of Stormont has now just become an absolute essential. We must be able to govern ourselves no matter who is in No 10.

💥🗣 NEW: 'I haven’t read it and I’m not rushing to.' DUP Leader dismisses Alliance Party reform plans. 🎥🎤DUP Leader Gavin Robinson tells Chief Reporter James he will not be rushing to read the Stormont reform proposals from the Alliance Party. The party has launched a Democratic Renewal paper outlining a series of proposals to “fix the system of government” in Northern Ireland. It includes removing the ability of one party to collapse Stormont, ensuring all parties’ votes count equally, stopping blockages at the Executive, “making Ministers more accountable” and increasing transparency around political funding. Alliance Leader Naomi Long MLA says the Secretary of State Hilary Benn made clear the issue of reform will be discussed during the next round of party talks.
