Arlene Foster has become the first DUP leader to attend the Ulster championship GAA final, between her native Fermanagh and Donegal
You can hear about the significance of Arlene Foster's attendance on our latest episode, all about the GAA theirishpassport.com/podcast/s2-epi…
Foster was greeted by fellow matchgoers Sinn Féin vice president Michelle O'Neill and Irish business minister Heather Humphreys, and stood for the Irish national anthem Amhrán na bhFiann
Bit of historic banter there

“Protestant Orangemen”, Dr Donald McRaild @cliosceptic tells us, historically “had this idea that where you could parade, you could control”. But it was the historical banning of parades, he says, that has largely fueled their continued popularity.
“Loyalists’ conception of who the enemy is seems to have shifted”, Dr Dominic Bryan, political anthropologist at @Queens_Belfast tells us, referencing the changing effigies on 11th night bonfires.

In an all new episode, we visit the city of Derry to explore the fascinating history of what has been called "Ireland's Jerusalem". We delve into the city's fraught past, and examine what's behind the new wave of unrest that has emerged in recent weeks. theirishpassport.com/podcast/s2-epi…
Regeneration consultant @bradley_steve tells us that lack of opportunity is driving youth disaffection in the city: "The bottom line is that Derry, in every key economic indicator, is at the bottom of the pile", he says, "Something has gone wrong"
The recent Brexit chaos, @bradley_steve continues, only fuels the fire: "Dissident republicans are taking advantage of Brexit and the vacuum within Stormont. Anytime there's a vacuum in Northern Irish politics it gets filled, and it tends to get filled by more extreme elements"

In nationalist West Belfast, the Irish tricolour flies proudly today alongside the Palestinian and Pride flags on a Falls rd printshop. Last night, we were told, two of the flags were stolen to be burned on unionist bonfires for the 11th of July
In the nearby Felons Bar and restaurant, West Belfast locals enjoy the sun under a fluttering canopy of international flags
The politics of flags is evolving issue in Northern Ireland. Some unionists have adopted the American confederate flag, while following England’s defeat in the World Cup, Croatian flags hung high from nationalist pubs

DUP leader, Arlene Foster, is now “ready” to trigger a no-deal Brexit and regards this as the “likeliest outcome” following a “hostile and difficult” exchange with the EU’s chief negotiator, an explosive set of leaked government emails reveal.

First attempt at a twitter thread, so here goes nothing (bare with me here):

This is Robert C. Allen's graphical representation of "Engels' Pause"--the existence of two-phase real wage growth in the UK during he Industrial Revolution.
As you can see, real wages are stagnant from the beginning of the IR to around 1835ish, most likely 1840 if we're talking about a real guarantee that wages are going to keep going up as opposed to down. For comparison's sake, the "Communist Manifesto" was published in 1848.
What's interesting--and what I don't think Allen gets into much in his analysis--is the startling correlation with wage growth and several key moments in the history of the Labour Movement in the UK, let alone the rest of the world. Here's what they are:
