On Wednesday our family suffered a devastating loss. My beloved Michael & I went off for our daily swim but Michael did not make it home. Probably his heart. This is a photo of Michael earlier this week. Hug your loved ones for me.

Lavrov's daughter expelled from Georgia with her relatives - Mtavari She came to a wedding and booked the entire hotel, where Georgians protested outside. President Zurabishvili intervened and canceled the wedding. Lavrov's relatives were then expelled from the country.

If I were English I would be ashamed of having @BorisJohnson as my PM. He was warned, anyone who knew anything about the he island of Ireland warned time & time again. He does not care!!

Listen carefully. Boris Johnson just said nobody warned that a Brexit would cause border problems in Northern Ireland. You ******* wot, mate?

Finding the discussion of @LeoVaradkar checking his notes on @RTELateLateShow way off beam. We should be grateful to have a Taoiseach who thinks accuracy matters. Take a look across the world & get a grip.

There is no EU border blockade on U.K.- U.K. left the EU. Inability to accept consequences is a core characteristic of Brexit Britain. Grow up. Break EU border blockade on Britain: Food and drinks chiefs want action

A break with Hungary is now necessary. Hungary does not support EU on Ukraine. No more taxpayers money for Orban & his cronies.

Can’t resist tweeting one photo of my beautiful granddaughter Aida Florence Ruah Sus. Just 3 weeks old. Granny is besotted.

The full frontal attack on Ireland & its elected Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar is ramping up. Nick Timothy is responsible for the October 2016 & January 2017 speeches by PM May that created the challenge-no SM, no CU & magically no border in Ireland. How dare Nick Timothy say this!!

When @Jacob_Rees_Mogg begins to attack the Bank of England then it is time for England to wake up & see what is happening before your eyes. His Fund moves to Dublin & then he calls out someone with expertise. What is happening UK? A silent coup?

On Monday we celebrated Michael’s life in Monkstown. I am so grateful that we could have a funeral & my heart goes out to all those families that were denied this because of Covid. It was comforting to plan the mass & the music/poetry. @BrigidLaffan

Daily Mail in full anti-Irish flow. Reminder - no UK minister comes to Dublin to read riot act anymore. As for the disrespect to Irish Taoiseach- why would anyone want to announce their ignorance in this way. Breixt ultras are just sad people.

Karen Bradley renders herself unfit for office with her statement in HoC today. Cannot believe that a Sec of State actually said this

Replying to @markdevenport
Has any former Secretary of State in Northern Ireland ever dropped a clanger comparable to Karen Bradley’s remarks about killings involving members of the security services in NI declaring these not to be ‘crimes’ - usurping the role of the DPP?
