Robust from Bryant on how the NI parties need to kick their dysfunctional habits - and on Dublin needing to show that they are as up for the search for truth on the Troubles' legacy as London.

As our poll this weekend shows, Labour and the Conservatives are reasserting themselves
Labour's eight-point lead is the largest we have recorded this Parliament, while the Tories are second place ahead of Reform UK for the first time since June 2025
Voters appear to be drifting back to their familiar homes, with Reform and the Greens struggling to handle increased scrutiny
However, the conditions for challenger parties to endure remain, writes @keiranpedley politicshome.com/opinion/art…

Labour has surged to an eight-point lead in a new Ipsos poll shared with PolHome – its largest lead with the pollster in this Parliament
Labour is on 32%, the Tories 24%, and Reform 20%
“The Labour Party under Andy Burnham is resurgent, consolidating voters on the left behind them,” said Ipsos' @keiranpedley
It is also the first Ipsos poll since June 2025 to put the Conservatives in second place
“On the right, the tectonic plates have been shifting recently and now this is reflected in the Conservatives – not Reform UK – being in a clear second place,” said Pedley

Government this week launched its long-awaited national resilience campaign, advising what essentials households should stockpile in case of an emergency
But the campaign launch has been criticised for being "lacklustre", with some figures wondering whether ministers had been bounced into it
Ed Arnold, senior adviser at the British Foreign Policy Group think tank, said the national resilience conversation had "already turned into a bit of a joke", reports @matilda__martin
