Here is a roundup of news from across the Irish Sea.
>Unionism stands with Israel
NI Education Minister Paul Givan was one of several repsrentatives from each of the 3 major Unionist parties who recently went on a sudden "fact finding" mission to Israel.

A motion of no confidence was approved-but blocked by the cross community mechanism, as Unionism rejects any criticism of the trip to Israel as anti-semitism.
>PSNI Scandal; the bullets
A senior member of the PSNI has been arrested after it was revealed that roughly 40,000 rounds of ammunition have been stolen from a PSNI training college. Details still emerging as to who and why, but many appear to have turned up in a private gun club. Widespread speculation of Loyalist involvement.
>PSNI Scandal; the bumboys
The PSNI is facing internal strife after an officer suddenly resigned, sending out an email declaring that the PSNI was not safe for police officers in the LGBT+ community. The officer warned that they should "keep their sexual preferences or gender identities secret, or you will not be safe."
>Sinn Féin FM and Poppies
Sinn Féin Deputy Leader and current First Minister of Northern Ireland attended a wreath laying ceremony on remembrance Sunday, drawing criticism from Irish Republicans and mild welcome from Unionists-although many suggested she shouldn't have attended at all. Many speculate she has done so in order to show up Deputy First Minister Emma Little Pengelly (DUP), who has snubbed the inaugeration of the new President of Ireland.
>Attack on Alliance HQ
The Alliance Party (basically a "neutral" party that doesn't express a view on NI staying/leaving the UK) has seen its party headquarters vandalised by Loyalists, who are accusing them of being part of a "pan-Republican front." Alliance reaffirm that they are neutral, but as a loosely progressive party they tend to side with the left-wing Nationalist/Republican parties over Unionism on many things.
