Do I know anyone who has spent time in Dublin lately? Going for a few days' downtime next week, love the place but haven't been in years so seeking tips for quiet daytime pubs and good solo dinners...

On way to Leeds 🚂 for a Starmer/Brown news conference on the report. Watch on @SkyNews this am https://t.co/m2s7WMpoT8
