And it is due to be grey and damp for the Belfast marathon tomorrow.   But maybe such conditions are not so bad for the runners https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/people/belfast-marathon-65-year-old-embarks-on-endurance-challenge-while-pair-seek-to-honour-grandmother-3675132   The election is days away and Henry McDonald's last interview with a unionist leader is the DUP https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/big-election-interview-2022-jeffrey-donaldson-people-are-fed-up-with-inter-unionist-rivalry-3675957   Here are some of my own thoughts as polling day approaches https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/opinion/columnists/ben-lowry-northern-irelands-place-in-uk-is-under-relentless-pressure-so-a-big-unionist-vote-in-this-election-is-essential-3675961   An SDLP candidate has become the first non unionist to give a clear answer to a feminist group that has challenged local politicians over protection of female-only space https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/assembly-election-sdlp-candidate-charlotte-carson-breaks-ranks-to-answer-no-to-trans-question-3673857   A non-denominational evangelical in Ballymena, with historic ties to Wrightbus, is said to be suffering governance issues https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/people/green-pastures-church-in-ballymena-suffering-from-governance-issues-3675058   In sport, here is Kyle White on Michael Dunlop's announcement that his deal to ride the PBM Ducati Superbike has fallen apart  https://www.newsletter.co.uk/sport/motorcycling/kyle-white-what-next-for-michael-dunlop-after-pbm-ducati-deal-for-isle-of-man-tt-falls-apart-3669870   And here is Johnny Morton on the impact of New Zealand cricket talent in Northern Ireland https://www.newsletter.co.uk/sport/cricket/new-zealands-jamie-gibson-embracing-fresh-challenge-with-waringstown-3675947   As ever there is so much more in print and online, including in our bumper News Letter and Farming Life, which is in the shops until tomorrow. -- Ben Lowry Deputy Editor             ELECTION 2022: Fascinating contest in Upper Bann where UUP leader attempts to recover lost ground   Read more +     Big Election Interview 2022: 'People are fed up with inter-unionist rivalry'   Read more +             Hoey calls on Saintfield anti-protocol rally for maximum election unity   Read more +     Ben Lowry: UK is under relentless threat so a big unionist vote is essential   Read more +     Subscribe today             Full access   Subscribe for unlimited access to all our articles, 70% fewer ads, daily puzzles and our desktop & mobile app. Your first month free .
