Ben Lowry - Saturday reading

I can hear Storm Kathleen outside as I write this, but it will be sunny and warm in parts of the UK today. It comes after a wet start to spring, yet I still think it is a fine time of year.


News of Sir Jeffrey Donaldson's arrest and charge broke eight days ago. For this article, we spoke to expert lawyers and police about the sequence of that policing operation.

 

Today the interim DUP leader Gavin Robinson writes that it was "profoundly shocking" news. He says his party has the strength to get things done. But Jim Allister and others say he missed a chance to end the "deception" that the Irish Sea border is gone. And the former Strictly star Ann Widdecombe will attend an anti protocol rally in Co Down

 

Naomi Long is pressing ahead with a hate crime bill amid fears it will include similar features to the controversial Scottish act.

 

A report says that Ireland will face huge annual cost subsidising Northern Ireland in the event of an all Ireland. I say that that is obvious but economic arguments for the UK are not the only ones

 

Belfast has some excellent architecture, mostly Victorian, often neglected, so I am dismayed to read of the risk to the Georgian Assembly Rooms. It reminds me that I never found out what this 1739 News Letter reference was to "our assembly", reported 30 years before the building

 

The wife of murdered Bobbie McKee has left her hospital bed to attend his funeral in Kilkeel.


And tributes have been paid to the country and gospel star Crawford Bell

 

Enjoy your weekend,

Ben
