Surely Sheeran cannot proceed with this tour. Hard to see him fill a stadium ever again Ireland if he does.

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.

It is unreasonable to expect the middle ground to decide how they will vote until a united Ireland is described in detail - in a way Brexit was not! The Irish Govt needs to start the process of producing such a plan.

All Ireland poll shows cross-border support for Irish unity and EU membership
The all-island poll looked at EU satisfaction, defence cooperation and relations with the US.
www.thejournal.ie
This poll seems to be a statistical outlier - its results are quite different to others even with the very wide variations in polls. What is clear is that somewhere between 27% and 10% of people in Northern Ireland respond that they are uncertain how they will vote.

Yes, This is the most explicit endorsement of Irish unity in terms of it being an immediate political project. Trump's motivations are irrelevant - it both reflects a live debate and bring it to a global audience. And nicely timed with my book coming out next week!
