Carolyn Murray and her newborn baby were in Noel Kirwan’s car just a few minutes before he was murdered by the Kinahan cartel. She later became addicted to heroin as she struggled to cope with his loss. In Sunday’s @IrishSunOnline she speaks for the first time about her trauma.

Not one person in the DUP has pointed out that the North Belfast attacker’s 5yr visa was given by the Tories under Robert Jenrick’s watch. The same Jenrick who’s now a Farage lieutenant screaming blue murder and pretending it’s nothing to do with him. But, you know… Dublin.

This morning @BBCNolan is platforming Jamie Bryson to defend who? Loyalist paramilitaries. Think about that. To defend paramilitaries 30 years after the GFA. On the BBC. An unelected nobody who’s only known because he’s been promoted by Nolan. This shames BBC NI! Again.

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

A culture of burning families out of their houses, a culture of politicians standing in the wings using language that whips people up (but god forbid they get their hands dirty) is definitely ‘alien’ to me.

Residents had to be evacuated from their homes in east Belfast following fires.

Just home from dealing with the consequences of tonight's lawlessness.
Perhaps some of the English right wing influencers and local politicians enthusing about these protests would explain to children I met why they have no beds to sleep in tonight.
Utterly disgusted.

A lot of men up in arms over the attack in North Belfast who have absolutely nothing to say femicide levels in NI, the most deadly place to be a women in the UK and Ireland.
Whipping up rage and anger because an immigrant is involved tells you everything about their motives.

Didn’t see much of the same angry outcry and mobilisation from so called ‘patriots’ then. I wonder what the difference is?

Carla Lockhart is having a nightmare entirely of her own making. Doubling down might appeal to the extreme DUP/TUV base, but it only further convinces the rest of society that the DUP & its mindset is holding us all back.
My eyes aren't painted on, Carla...
Neither is anyone else's.
Where is your condemnation of the masked men? You're clearly free to attack Alliance, but still nothing on that?
Says it all.

South Down is a welcoming place defined by beautiful forests, mountains, and beaches - not masked intimidation
Next time you visit @carlalockhart you should look into what our constituency actually has to offer, rather than standing with masked men intimidating women & children
