After years of deadlock, EU and UK leaders have declared a historic reset in their relations as they reach an agreement on Northern Ireland called the ‘Windsor Framework’. Naomi and Tim unpick the details of what is in the deal on Northern Ireland’s post-Brexit arrangements, intended to resolve the dispute over the so-called Protocol that came into force in 2021. What’s the story with red and green channels? Why is everyone talking about the “Stormont Brake”? Will this finally be enough to get the Democratic Unionist Party back into power sharing? And why on earth was the British king involved? You’ll find the answers to all these questions and more in this fresh-off-the-press Brexit update.

On the 27th of August 1979, the Provisional IRA assassinated one of the best known members of Britain’s royal family as he holidayed in County Sligo. But this was just one of 25 killings that took place that day. The events of that afternoon soon came to represent a watershed in the history of Anglo-Irish relations, and a landmark moment of escalation in a Northern Ireland conflict that was now settling into what some referred to as the “Long War”. Naomi and Tim unpick the wider context of this notorious episode of the Troubles, and explore how it encompassed so much more than the death of a celebrity royal.
