This leaves Northern Ireland a complete outlier, with no same-sex marriage and a near-total abortion ban. Women prosecuted for procuring abortion pills in 2017 and 2016. Women with fatal foetal abnormality diagnoses travelling to Britain. It's unsustainable.

Some people in Ireland are convinced the country is the most corrupt awful or lawless state in the world, oblivious to how tame Ireland's problems are relative to even other rich countries. It's a fascinating combo of cynicism and naivety.

UK's Boris Johnson tried to set up calls with France's Emmanuel Macron and Germany's Angela Merkel on Brexit on Monday ahead of talks with Ursula von der Leyen. The EU chiefs made a joint decision to refuse, to ensure the EU speaks with one voice, according to senior EU official.

165 people have so far tested positive for Covid-19 in the Netherlands after a single disco that had 650 guests. All had had to show proof of a negative test or vaccination to get in (though there are reportedly multiple loopholes, such as sharing screenshots).

The EU doesn't care how this Protocol offer is sold in British tabloids - a defeat, a humiliation, whatever - if it works. It's not for London. It's for the people of Northern Ireland, seen as a much more pragmatic and sympathetic group. My piece:
