British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (right) and EU Council President Donald Tusk at the G7 summit in France this week

Via Katya Adler Europe editor, BBC News:

…I now notice a subtle tone change. In his one-to-one chats in Paris, Berlin and at the G7 with European Council President Donald Tusk, the prime minister has managed to persuade Brussels that:

a) He is serious in his threat to pursue a no-deal Brexit if no agreement with the EU can be found; and b) He would actively prefer to get a deal through parliament if possible.

But this change in perception does not alter facts on the ground.

EU leaders still think a no-deal Brexit is the most likely option right now.

Hmm.

Rose of Tralee – the best moments from night one (RTÉ)

Behold: the Angel Nebula aka NGC 2170. to wit:

Reflecting the light of nearby hot stars, NGC 2170 is joined by other bluish reflection nebulae, a red emission region, many dark absorption nebulae, and a backdrop of colourful stars. Like the common household items that still life painters often choose for their subjects, the clouds of gas, dust, and hot stars featured here are also commonly found in this setting — a massive, star-forming molecular cloud in the constellation of the Unicorn (Monoceros). The giant molecular cloud, Mon R2, is impressively close, estimated to be only 2,400 light-years or so away. At that distance, this canvas would be over 60 light-years across.

Aleigh – Boys Not Right

Let’s hear it for the boys.

Dublin indie rock newcomer Aoife Leigh (top) aka Aleigh strikes a chord with her new single which is a sort of jazz-blues take on the White Stripes.

The video, shot in moody black and white, was directed by Seán Kavanagh.

Nick says: Girl power chords.
