- Fri, 12:56: No Irish unity referendum for five years because of Brexit – Micheal Martin https://t.co/YevR0sAOoe Not that it’s the Taoiseach’s decision, but it’s a sensible line to take.
- Fri, 13:19: One of the briefest but most interesting chapters in the history of Brexit will look at how UK failed to mobilize potential allies like Ireland and Belgium, which had most to lose from a bad outcome. This sort of comment illustrates why it didn’t happen, and was never going to. https://t.co/41Q5pQe13S
- Fri, 13:56: In The Shadow Of No Towers, by Art Spiegelman The image of the glowing tower, about to fall, illuminates the entire work. Yet he maintains the ability to question his own reactions. #nwbooks https://t.co/dKSSwAHDYZ https://t.co/F3vXFWC75N

- Fri, 15:59: Earth Logic, by Laurie Marks Recommended to me as a fictional treatment of peace processes. Unfortunately it is the kind of immersive fantasy that doesn’t really grab me, so I’ve given up. #nwbooks https://t.co/WHbT2ijFog https://t.co/b65nvxv8bV https://t.co/zPpcqz3V9h

- Fri, 16:40: What Made Now In Northern Ireland, ed. Maurna Crozier and Richard Froggatt We’re now at a different stage of crisis in Northern Ireland compared to where we were in 2008, but actually not all that much has changed. #nwbooks https://t.co/VCa9cIqk3v https://t.co/4ZqMEEVecc https://t.co/nTzvyPXpDl

- Fri, 17:21: Sybil, or the Two Nations, by Benjamin Disraeli The book’s political sentiments are interesting, and completely worn on its sleeve. Paper-thin characters, but I was surprised by the number of memorable one-liners. #nwbooks https://t.co/LfNFCn2lZV https://t.co/QDz775sMt3 https://t.co/acxpw0tNkI

- Sat, 09:41: “Debate continues over why the UK reacted like it did. Was this genuine anger, or a contrived piece of theatre to mask the fact that Boris Johnson had pinpointed the summit as the deadline for an agreement and failed to get one?” We must be careful not to overanalyse! https://t.co/1EB2ETmLyL
