UK government to replace 'green lane' on goods travelling to NI under new Stormont deal

The DUP has been using a veto power to block Stormont’s devolved institutions for almost two years.

It was announced earlier this week that the DUP was prepared to return to Stormont, dependent on the UK Government implementing certain legislative assurances.

The return will see Michelle O’Neill become the region’s first ever nationalist first minister.

Integrity investigation finds 25% of Europe’s MEPs were involved in a scandal

In December 2022, police found €900,000 in alleged bribe cash stuffed in bags at the EU Parliament’s Vice President Eva Kaili’s home. How could corruption of such scale happen at the heart of the EU? Was this just one isolated incident or the tip of the iceberg?

Data collected by The Journal, Noteworthy and other European media partners reveals 3% of MEPs have been convicted by a court.

The months-long investigation unearthed 253 previously reported blemishes.

The most serious cases related to 45 corruption incidents and 44 events relating to fraud and theft.
