Top story: Pressure mounts for Northern Ireland to relax lawsGood morning. Theresa May’s alliance with the the Democratic Unionist party appears to stand in the way of a swift parliamentary vote on relaxing the abortion laws in Northern Ireland. The quickest route is seen as a vote in parliament where a majority of MPs would back the measure. The abortion vote was clearly the standout story of the weekend and we also have a piece from Dublin about how it was the joyous culmination of years of campaigning for activist Anne Marie Keary. The Guardian leads with the aforementioned Northern Ireland abortion story, and also reports on the deaths of two festivalgoers in Hampshire linked to a bad batch of drugs.
