The NIAssembly today has backed the @Sdlplive motion to reject Brexit and decline legislative consent to Boris Johnsonās Brexit deal. London is not interested in our interests. All efforts now to build the future people here deserve. #NewIreland
Today weāre calling on the Assembly to withhold its consent for Brexit and the brinkmanship that this British Government has shown.

Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Today is also my 41st Birthday and I have decided to take the afternoon off and spend a little time with my dog Mirta.

So today I did this... never in a zillion years did I think I would get to take to the red dot. And to do it in 2020 is an even bigger dream. Thank you @TEDxCookstown & @Clairelohanlon for letting me share my big idea. #TEDxCookstown

Confirmed, Conservatives are cutting overseas aid & repealing their legal commitment to 0.7%, right in the middle of a pandemic. This is money to help the poorest, promote security & address climate change.
Short sighted, mean spirited, inward looking - Brexit Britain all over
