It's interesting that the TUV has targeted me on their social media after last night's council.. Political debate is one thing, but I've struggled to find another example of them using a clip like this. It's targeted & a deliberate attempt to stoke vitriol online, aimed at me.

A landmark day for Rosario FC at Ulidia! After 30 years of hard work, our long-term lease is finally secured. Great to have cross-party support and BCC with us to mark this moment for the club’s future. Here’s to the next chapter at our new long-term home. 🌹 ⚽️ 🌹

Reckless endangering of people's lives & livelihoods is shocking & has no place here. I hope those affected are recovering from this horrific ordeal. If you have any information relating to this incident please contact the PSNI on 101 quoting incident no 64 for 17/11/25

This is literal madness in a climate emergency. Invest in rail- the answer is right there but no, they'll literally burn money speeding up the demise of our planet instead. 🙄🤯 How parties are welcoming this is beyond me- they can't be trusted with the environment (or much else)

The fragile masculinity of it all.. 🙄 I await the condemnation of threats of violence & the showing of political leadership from those who have stirred up the hysteria around this.... 👀
Loyalist paramilitaries are threatening to burn any council vans or centres displaying Irish signs in order to make Belfast City Council's new language policy unworkable. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunda…

Solidarity with @JennaMaghie & the blatant sexism she faced in the chamber of @belfastcc last night. There are little enough women's voices heard in the chamber, to be then met with this shit.. it's 2025 folks, some of you need to go & have a word with yourselves & your attitude!
“Okay mummy.” That's how my contribution was dismissed by a SF Cllr last night. When I stated that comment was out of order, the response I got was “I’d like to apologise for that comment she took offence to.”

Thankfully we have the formidable, eloquent & all-round superstar that is @s_marms on to balance things out & actually talk sense, facts & compassion after a lot of bluster from men spreading hate & disinformation, attempting to distract from their own political failures. 🙃
Seriously? Could the DUP, UUP, SDLP, Alliance & TUV not find a single woman between them? Manels in 2025 have no excuse, least of all given the context these racist pogroms have been stirred up in. If you need more diversity @bbctheview other options are available.. just saying👋

There's been a shameful dereliction of duty here. HOW is it that hard to come out & be very clear racist scum have no place here? What's it going to take before any leadership is shown?! Instead they say/do nothing at best, at worst they parrot their language & allow it to fester

Shocked & stunned... Tell me again where the threat to women & girls comes from?! 🤬
There were 48 people arrested in relation to the disorder, of which 23 had been reported for domestic abuse. The figures for Northern Ireland – 48% - were higher than the UK average (41%). thedetail.tv/articles/almost…

If you can't participate on the protest to allow people with disabilities to use public transport for free, Please consider using this time to protest online. There is a template email to write to elected SF representatives. change.org/p/urge-the-ni-ass…

It's 2025 folks. Wise the f up. Paramilitaries are a scourge on our communities, offering nothing but fear & violence. This happens because of a lack of political leadership, & continued facilitation & legitimisation of these groups. I honestly despair for our future sometimes..

A senior paramilitary source has issued the following statement via myself in relation to the Bonfire in the Village area of south Belfast: A clear threat of violence if police approach the bonfire site. @BelTel

In a much needed bit of good news for Belfast, @belfastcc has agreed to move forward to purchase the Assembly Rooms! Bringing this historic & culturally significant building back into public ownership is a landmark move & I'm excited to see what the next chapter holds for it!

I utterly condemn this incident, aimed at the Romanian community in South Belfast. Disgusting attempt to intimidate people who have every right to be here & should be allowed to live their life free from hate.
Police are treating graffiti daubed on a property in south Belfast over the weekend as “hate-motivated criminal damage” after the message appeared to target members of the Romanian community. ➡️belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/… belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

As Greens weve been pushing for movement on this for yrs. I opposed the flawed planning apps & pushed for Castlebrooke to come to Council & explain themselves & lack of any progress while historic buildings rot. Im hopeful we can get some good news v.soon! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg9…

Ive been working with the PSNI & Council for the swift removal of fly postering in the Belvoir area over the last few days. There's no place for thinly veiled racism here. Direct anger over housing to the exec parties thatve failed communities for decades. greenpartyni.org/cllr_grooga…
