Northern Ireland will separate from the UK and join the Republic of Ireland next year, a former Russian president has said.
Dmitry Medvedev has given his predictions for 2023 in a long and odd Twitter thread.
This includes the UK rejoining the European Union, before the bloc's 'collapse' following the Britain's return.
"On the New Year’s Eve, everybody's into making predictions," Mr Medvedev wrote.
"Many come up with futuristic hypotheses, as if competing to single out the wildest, and even the most absurd ones.
"Here’s our humble contribution."
6. War will break out between France and the Fourth Reich. Europe will be divided, Poland repartitioned in the process

He suggested oil price will rise to US$150 a barrel, and gas will top US$5.000 per 1.000 cubic meters - while the euro will "drop out of use as the former EU currency."
He also bizarrely claimed that a "Fourth Reich will be created, encompassing the territory of Germany and its satellites" - before adding: "War will break out between France and the Fourth Reich. Europe will be divided, Poland repartitioned in the process."
Further afield, he claimed: "Civil war will break out in the US, California and Texas becoming independent states as a result."
He also predicted that Elon Musk would "win the presidential election in a number of states" - before other users on the platform pointed out that Mr Musk is not eligible to run for US president.
Mr Medvedev, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, finished his thoughts with: "Season greetings to you all, Anglo-Saxon friends, and their happily oinking piglets!"
