Link and you miss it.

Who knows what lies ahead this weekend for the MP for Lagan Valley, Jeffrey Donaldson? It's good to know, however, that Jeffrey's thinking of old friends. Scroll down this list of useful links and click on 'Friends of the Union'. Well it was a Conservative ginger group!

Perhaps he was just running as a double agent these last few years.

I imagine he'll be contacting Jim Allister soon as he hasn't managed to get into the DUP inner circle yet and shows no likelihood of.

If I'm reading you (and about 1,000gloating texts and email senders) right I think you might be jumping the gun, Sunday Life have just twittered:

"Due to production problems our free Daniel O'Donnell CD will not be with next week's paper and will come out later in the year instead."

So, a lot of disappointment there for Wee Jeffr..Daniel's legion of followers in NI there.

Stormont might not collapse but paramilitaries continue to disfigure Northern Ireland

Walker loada rubbish

Former BBC employee Brian Walker has overrun Slugger O’Toole lately with countless poorly structured, poorly written posts. It is possible quickly to recognize and avoid these by subjecting each Slugger piece to a cursory inspection and identifying those which feature characteristic lack of paragraphing and a tenuous grasp on the technicalities of linking source articles. Although I generally evade Walker’s posts by this method, occasionally (and unfortunately) I have persevered and found that their content is as unrewarding as the style in which they are written. Today, for instance, I inflicted upon myself Brian’s thoughts on a mooted Fianna Fail / SDLP merger . In actual fact, he is right to welcome news that the Southern Irish party has dropped this proposal from its agenda; however, the logic by which he arrives at this conclusion is parochial nonsense. To summarise, Walker believes that pursuing realignment with larger parties, whether they are from the rest of the UK or fro
