The Impartial Reporter covers Fermanagh and Border counties - Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal - and has been following #Brexit for two years, speaking to residents, business people, farmers and rural communities. Will the PM take our questions when she visits today? No, says Number 10.

#tomorrowspaperstoday is bigger now than it was. A million impressions a night last week. Big enough for the Sun to ban. Plus Politics and comment is highly polarised and aggressive. So we see more trolling.

Heartbreaking news today. The great Alan Gilzean passed away this morning. Sympathy to his family. He was a lovely man and obviously one of the all time Spurs greats – at Christchurch, England

Around 3.40pm this afternoon this person entered my shop Diamonds Newsagents on Broughshane street. When I confronted him he made off empty hand if you were in the area did you see where him and his accomplice went Contact the PSNI if you did 😳

National Museum of Ireland has thanked the finders and the local community in Convoy, Co. Donegal, Ireland, for following best archaeological and farming practice after discovery of artefacts which appear to date from the Bronze Age.

This family's boat ride turned into a dramatic whale rescue — and the whale spent an hour thanking them in the most beautiful way! 🐋💙

I’ve picked @AirAmbulanceNI as my Mayor’s Charity. AANI provides a vital service that any of us could need at any time, that is run entirely on charitable donations. This service costs £5,500 per day to operate, so I hope to help with this over the next year. 🚁
