I'm just back from doing the Stormont Mile for Sport Relief. I hadn't realised my co-presenter Jim Fitzpatrick was organising it today, so didn't have my trainers with me. That's my excuse for strolling the course down to the Newtownards Road and back, and I'm sticking to it. David Ford won, without any need for Sinn Fein and the DUP to fix the rules in advance for him. Gerry Kelly raced down the...

The Hillsbourough agreement foresees the cross community vote on the devolution of policing and justice as occurring on the 9th of March with power to be devolved on 12th of April. Clearly this is colossally before Lord Morrow's timetable of not in the life time of this assembly and indeed just as premature for Gregory Campbell's six months or six years. Once when the DUP were busy telling everyone...

Westminster candidates are now coming out of the woodwork so fast it's hard to keep track of them. The TUV added Keith Harbinson today in Lagan Valley, whilst we had the local MP Jeffrey Donaldson confirming he'll be defending his seat there earlier this week, plus the release of a similar statement from Gregory Campbell in East Londonderry. Gerry Adams' predictable defence of West Belfast came accompanied...

via George Richards of On Frozen Pond, If last night’s loss wasn’t “brutal” enough, the Panthers also lost winger Rostislav Olesz in the final minute or so to a broken hand. Coach Pete DeBoer said today that Olesz is getting X-Rays to see how serious it is, but he’s out through the Olympic break at the very least. As far as those trade rumors for Olesz, well, I’m...

Loyalty to leader and threat of assembly election led to DUP turnaround It was just before 11.30pm on Thursday when Peter Robinson stamped his authority on the Democratic Unionist party and in turn rescued power-sharing. With colleagues gathered around a large, oval table inside the DUP rooms in the ornately decorated Stormont parliament, Robinson had spent two and a half hours patiently explaining...

I have managed to scan the Legg report, and there are quite a few Rebels who have paid back only part, or none of what Legg has requested back. I reckon the number tops over 10% of all surveyed, and over 20% of those asked to pay back. Strangely, there is a large number of MP's who have paid back more than asked, sometimes by a ridiculous variance that raises new questions. Here are the rebels, I will...

David Gordon has a piece on the blame the media campaign being waged currently by the DUP (that'd be the Dodgy Under Pressure party….) You may recall the DUP issuing a scathing attack some months back on that most Irish republican of media outlets - the British Broadcasting Corporation. Yesterday Sammy Wilson launched a blistering attack on Stephen Nolan, accusing the broadcaster of stirring...
