Big hair, bowler hats & bonfires. Can Orangemen survive the modern world?

As tricolours burned on the bonfires in the north before the Twelfth of July, the Irish far right stayed silent. What does that tell us about their allegiances?

On Free State, Dion and Joe look at what is next for unionism as their world shrinks. How much longer can they be defined by what they don’t like? And, after the GB News live coverage of the Twelfth, the boys wonder who is better at anchoring a show - Joe Brolly or Arlene Foster?
