The DUP gurning about overreach again because they want their collapse of the assembly to block anything they don't like happening is definitely further convincing me that voluntary coalition needs to be planned out.
With the loss of their majority and one-party petition of concern leaving their only veto option at an executive level, it is pretty clear they're getting frustrated because they assumed collapsing Stormont would provide them an easy "do what this one party says or else" button.
Cross-community power-sharing shouldn't entitle a single party to proclaim they speak for an entire community's representation to justify manufacturing instability.

I've spent 6 years in this flat and it and Ravenhill have very much become my home and yet it will never be my home because my presence here sits upon a timebomb for when my landlord looks at a spreadsheet and evicts me to slap up grey paint and put the rent up an extra £300pm.
I have openly joked that I think the only reason I have managed 6 years without issue is because I do most of my own repairs and maintenance. Every email to the letting agents runs the risk of them thinking about if they can increase profit on the property.
The consumption of the housing market by the PRS will increasingly make that sense of insecurity the norm for everyone, especially the closer you get to the city centre.

Fair play if you've managed to distil your thoughts on Arlene Foster's comments about leaving NI into a couple of tweets cause I quite simply do not even know where to begin with any of it after they spent the day in my head rent free.
Also didn't she already say this in Patrick Kielty's documentary or did my brain just make that up?
Things I found myself thinking of include more than a few people: friends, acquaintances and even strangers, with whom I have had a conversation where they spoke of how the grim reality of living in NI has made them want to leave.

Verdict today is frustrating but not surprising.

The disparity between the estimated cases of rape and those actually reported is huge. The disparity between those reported and those successfully convicted is a gaping chasm.
From the offset a victim will be thinking of things like the public reaction to accusations of rape, particularly against people of power.
How they will be questioned in court, how it will be reported, whether the police will even believe them are an immediate dissuasion.
Those who do have the bravery to bring a case forward are bringing themselves into that arena where someone is being paid to prove that they are a liar using any means at their disposal.
