Yugoslav map of Britain & Ireland from the 1980s, with English place names amusingly rendered phonetically to reflect their pronunciation.

Credit: Reddit user TheKingMonkey who explains the maps origins:

"From a display on the wall of the ‘Museum of the 80s’ in Sarajevo, Bosnia. I’m not sure why I like the Serbo-Croat (or at least that’s what I assume it is) names for the cities as they look like they are almost phonetic attempts at English language pronunciations."

We await the judgement of the Court of Appeal, but that should not stop us trying to seek a mutually beneficial outcome. My door remains open and I will be talking to others to try and see the situation resolved for the good of all communities in Northern Ireland. 2/2

I’ve had a constructive meeting in Belfast tonight with @HMcEntee as efforts continue to find an agreed way forward on Drumcree. Once again I am grateful to everyone who has offered their help and engaged in frank and open dialogue. 1/2

Bertie Ahern in talks to take up mediator role in Drumcree stand-off; overnight talks end without agreement https://t.co/FeED2XsaVb

[Alan Stout @AlanStout19]

It easy to miss other, important news at the moment.

There’s no agreed budget and a diminishing workforce, so harder and harder to reverse this…

The CTA has facilitated all sorts of personal & professional E/W or Strand 3 relationships & needs to protected. An unacknowledged success area in wider B/I relations?

Great to meet the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, in Munich today where we discussed increasing cooperation between our countries to protect the Common Travel Area.
