Unionism has decended to its lowest denomimator, a better moderate Unionism is its majority though.
The contrast in behaviour between the participants of the March for #Gaza and the counter-protesters. Carla Lockhart MP appears around 30 seconds in.

In a normal society questions would naturally be asked at the sight of a Member of Parliament lining up with intimidating masked men chanting far-right slogans in opposition to anti-war activists… but for the DUP this will hardly even register…

Emma Little Pengelly and the DUP are blocking the Good Jobs Bill which will introduce carers’ leave. This would ensure workers can take time off to care for their loved ones. This bill will be transformative for workers and their families. The DUP blocking must stop.

The Netherlands just put another $1.2 billion into its cycling infrastructure. They aren't being generous, they're actually being cheap. National infrastructure projects of any size are legally required to undergo a cost-benefit analysis before they get built. They ran the numbers on cycling and every dollar invested came back as roughly $8.90 in benefits: lives saved, healthcare costs avoided, quieter streets, cleaner air, less congestion. 6,500 fewer premature deaths a year, six more months of average life expectancy across the entire country. A few years ago they were skeptical of a $17 million cycling bridge across the Maas River. They ran the analysis. The bridge was predicted to save $132 million over its lifetime, so they built it. Most conversations about cycling infrastructure start with "how do we pay for it?" The Dutch conversation starts at "what's the cost-benefit ratio." That's the key difference. The Netherlands isn't just subsidizing bicycles, it's refusing to waste money on the alternative.

I want to congratulate John Swinney on being elected First Minister of Scotland today. For the first time ever, there are now three nationalist, pro-independence First Ministers in office in the North of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. I look forward to working together with John Swinney and Rhun ap Iorwerth in the time ahead, as we stand up for the best interests of our people and for their right to self-determination.

Nigel Dodds actually believes his own BS.
Delighted to have come fifth in the Lords ballot for Private Members Bills with a Bill to replace the Windsor Framework with sensible mutual enforcement arrangements. Looking forward to introducing it in early June and to highlighting the need for postive change

With marching season approaching I don’t here any politicians sticking up for the Catholics in Scotland. Every year the hate feast is allowed on the streets. Can you imagine if the hate marches were against the Jewish community.

Place-Name funding summary. Sinn Fein scrap funding, complain about it, restore it, then congratulate themselves . . . all while blaming unionists. 🫤 Sinn Fein waste more time manufacturing drama and outrage than anything else.

"And according to official documents that we found, the UDR was the largest single source of modern weapons flowing to the Loyalist Paramilitary groups, it was a recipe for disaster."
