2. #PORNOGRAPHY Violence against women, incest, child abuse, ‘pimping’ and sexual trafficking are just some of the harrowing themes that a report has said are widespread in mainstream pornography content.

3. #SPECULATION Taoiseach Simon Harris has said it is his prerogative to consider when an election is in “the best interest for Ireland”

4. #LIAM PAYNE The family of former One Direction star Liam Payne have said they are “heartbroken” by his death.
