A new grammar school has been approved, which is an 'annex' of an existing, thereby getting round the 'no more grammar school' law. No matter that the annex is quite a few miles away, it's in the spirit of the law. Hmm, I'm not so sure.
Not that I'm losing too much sleep about grammar school, the comprehensive system that kicked in just as I was leaving school seems to cope reasonably well, and I didn't realise there was a law against building new ones. Probably brought in on the back of the hunting ban.
The SDLP will look at running another Scottish referendum when enough 'No' voters have changed their mind. I might have paraphrased that slightly, but that's the message I heard. Obviously don't want to lose again. A bit like '..and don't come back' when someone is already running away.
