Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

I’ve written to the Education Authority and the Education Minister about the shocking, long running failure to fix Rosetta Primary School’s unsafe hall and wider estate.

This isn’t just about one school, it's a wider failure to maintain school buildings across NI and a failure to invest.

Good craic last night at Lamh Dearg with Neil McManus, Anthony Daly & Liam Sheedy chatting about #hurling, the future of #hurling and why the GAA should ditch Allianz as sponsors of the National League. Too much vitamin G is not good for the old noggin though. 😶‍🌫️

UK must stockpile food in readiness for climate shocks or war, expert warns Prof Tim Lang says country produces far less food than it needs to feed population and is particularly vulnerable

www.theguardian.com/global-devel... Makes you wonder how vulnerable Northern Ireland is? Is it somewhat insulated because it physically borders the EU? Is there food insecurity in the Republic too?

To all those Tory/Deform carpet chewers ranting about the UK not taking part in the bombathon in the Middle East, think of it as wartime austerity, cutting unnecessary spending on single-use public sector munitions and promoting fiscal prudence.

"We need to keep our children hungry, and in poverty, so we can kill children in other countries" is some policy.

Heat pump sales rose 11% in 2025 across 16 European countries, with 2.63 million units sold.

Twelve countries saw growth, largely where subsidy schemes were stabilised and electricity costs addressed.

Policy certainty and energy levies & taxation are proving decisive.

One of the consequences of #brexit for Northern Ireland, well played #reform 👏

Influencers sold the world a fantasy Dubai – and now it’s gone in a puff of missile smoke | Gaby Hinsliff The city was portrayed as an aspirational place to live, but now those who moved there are realising the precarity that comes with being an economic migrant, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Excellent article: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... I must admit to feeling a little smug as I eat lunch outside in the early spring warmth of Belfast. But then I’m waiting to hear if I’ll be redundant next month, so I’m not that smug.

@notayesmansecon.bsky.social thank you for your daily report, it’s very interesting. Are you able split out a line for geothermal energy at all? Probably too insignificant yet…

When the powerful speak of a ‘rules-based international order’, they mean rules for others, and impunity for themselves.

All human life has equal value, which is why we need an ethical foreign policy based on cooperation, justice and peace.
