next year, but i was struck by a unionist commentator saying to me a week ago when the arlene foster story broke saying part of the reason here is the dup do not think arlene foster could help them when a portable, they are already thinking about the question of whether there will be a poll on a united ireland. we got this pressure from scotland, some pressure in northern ireland, probably driven by brexit, it�*s debatable week but you could argue that�*s part of it because it has exposed all of the special contradictions with in northern ireland or in great britain. is this really going to be the political challenge of the prime minister hanging around fora challenge of the prime minister hanging around for a decade, the real challenge of the making of the united kingdom? irlat real challenge of the making of the united kingdom?— united kingdom? not 'ust the olitical united kingdom? not 'ust the political challenge, h united kingdom? notjust the political challenge, but - united kingdom? notjust the political challenge, but what l united kingdom? notjust the i political challenge, but what will perhaps follow for a decade. there�*s plenty for number ten to be pleased about the result in england. but they are results of england and
11:42 pm
prime minister is the prime minister of the united kingdom. we seen his critics to depict that this prime minister of england in prescott which is always talk about restrictions that only apply to england. i think the results to date don�*t do much to help that. and i think the unionists, it�*s going to be a huge challenge for him. and the gains today, something the tories are pleased about but borisjohnson continues to lose scotland, and that�*s going to be remembered for much longer period of time than winning a by—election. it�*s. much longer period of time than winning a by-election._ winning a by-election. it's, he could be joining _ winning a by-election. it's, he could be joining the _ winning a by-election. it's, he could be joining the list. - winning a by-election. it's, he could be joining the list. daily| could bejoining the list. daily camera and the european union, and borisjohnson and scotland. not pat he would want to go down. let�*s change the subject, jason, and show everybody up by talking about foreign holidays. and a not so
