Thanks to @MichaelPTKelly for clipping my interview with BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight about North Belfast, what makes it unique, and the implications of demographics, history, and recent changes for the current outbreak of anti-immigrant violence in my home town.

My thoughts this morning are with the victim of last night's horrific attack in North Belfast, and with their family, the brave people who disarmed the attacker and the PSNI who attended and will now investigate.
There can be no place for such violence in our community. >

A good job shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be the baseline.
People across Northern Ireland have waited long enough. The Good Jobs Bill needs to be introduced to the Assembly - now.
We’re ready to get to work. -@KateNicholl

📢We all have a role in challenging rape myths through education, accountability and cultural change. Challenging these harmful beliefs is essential if we are to build a society where victims are heard and supported, free from shame and stigma. #RapeMythsRealHarm

Schools are held together by Special Educational Needs Coordinators but they’re at breaking point.
Workloads are soaring and we risk losing the people our children rely on.
Alliance is bringing this for debate in the Assembly; we need action to reduce their workload.

So many families who come through my office are on a journey to get the right support for their autistic children - we see how they have to fight for it. I welcome the launch of the Independent Autism Reviewer’s Report. Every statistic is a child & a family who deserve better 💛

It’s devastating to see the damage wildfires are inflicting every year on the Mournes and elsewhere.
It's costing our communities, our economy and, importantly, our environment.
Alliance Minister @AndrewMuirNI is taking collective action to help stamp out wildfires.

Have a look at our @allianceparty broadcast. Choose hope, not fear.
In a world where politics is built on fear – fear of difference, of our neighbours, of the future – we choose something better.
Choose Hope. Not Fear.
Join Alliance.

30 women killed in the last 6 years is not a statistic. It’s a crisis.
As politicians, we have a responsibility to tackle this.
But alongside government action, we need a societal response to effectively combat violent & misogynistic behaviour at every level - @KateNicholl.
