We're the world's oldest daily, albeit English language. An older German paper has sadly ended its print edition to be just digital but I get little pleasure at our move towards oldest of all because their change reflects challenges for the industry 1/3 newsletter.co.uk/news/opinion/c…

When Lord Kilclooney (John Taylor) @KilclooneyJohn told the Irish News that a majority of people in Northern Ireland will be in favour of an all Ireland, the economist Dr Esmond Birnie called this a "dangerous myth". Now Lord K has written to us in reply newsletter.co.uk/news/opinion/l…

It is more than 40 years since I was taught by Rodney Brown (Mr Brown we called him - he later became doctor). I remember him well. The remainder of his 10,000 book collection will be sold tomorrow (Sat) newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/…

It is still February yet today was gloriously spring-like in Belfast, with strong sunshine. It is past 6pm and the sun has only set. This is the best four months of the year ahead, with full natural life returning and the days getting ever longer ... newsletter.co.uk/news/weather/b…
