You should have been at the anti racist rally at Belfast city hall.

You are an example of a bigger problem. Stop scapegoating immigrants. You are talking about one man crossing the border & coming to Belfast. Stop blowing this out of proportion. We have a much bigger problem with racism!

This is just one example of how our broken immigration system is being exploited, yet the government has failed to address it.
Ignoring the problem won’t make it disappear, it’s high time others start listening.

Northern Ireland does not have an ‘immigration problem’.
We have a racism problem.

For all the genocide deniers. You lying bastards.

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"
Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

Never ever forget that below the Union Jack facade the DUP are Tories who really don’t care about workers or hard working families. Their big business interests will always place them on the side of the most wealthy.
Sinn Fein out attacking the DUP AGAIN...!! Surprise, surprise!
A positive visit to Carryduff on one of the Executive agreed transformation projects just announced - EPharmacy - this will transform prescriptions and other services including introducing e-perscriptions.
Back in the car to see Sinn Fein attacks...again! 🙄...
Let's be clear - we are being asked to agree proposals in the Executive. That WILL mean scrutiny and I will take the time to do that. The Sinn Fein Minister sat on this in the Department for 2 and a half years, we have had it a few weeks.
I will always discharge my duty to scrutinise and ask questions on proposals. I have a meeting set up on Monday with Economy officials - the Sinn Fein Minister is aware of that.
The big question for Sinn Fein to answer is why there is not a single business out in support of this bill?

Quite bizarre that no other media outlets have touched this story in the week since it broke...

I’m looking forward to interviewing Bob Newland on Thursday at 7pm @JamesConnollyVC about his life of political activism & involvement in the South African national liberation struggle.
His book gives a fascinating insight to the role of Tambo’s ‘London Recruits’.
All welcome.

Instead, they opted for 26 Counties and then went on to abandon every one of their original aims

There’s an incredible silence from too many in unionism around the report into the death of Katie Simpson.
The failings in child protection & protection of victims of domestic violence.
Institutional misogyny in the PSNI.
37 further victims.
Where’s the outrage?

SF & the SDLP should approach the Irish & British governments together to demand that one prepares for Unity & the other sets the date for a ref. It’s time to work together Claire.
May 9
The UK is changing. Here, we have a need & responsibility to make things work in the here and now, and to prepare for a different constitutional future.
The SDLP is working for a functioning, anti sectarian, centre left Northern Ireland , on the path to a reconciled new Ireland

Historic change is happening.
For the first time ever, there could be three nationalist, pro-Independence First Ministers across these islands.
The demand for independence is growing.

The World need to see this.
Over 𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐉𝐞𝐰𝐬 attended this event in Monroe NY,
where they declared:
“We have no part in Zionism. We have no part in the State of Israel.
We will continue to oppose Zionism in the name of our faith.”
A reminder that Judaism and Zionism are not the same.
