Jon Burrows says he’s “deeply uncomfortable” that so many people vote for Sinn Féin. It’s called democracy, Jon. The people decide who they vote for and who serves as First Minister - not you, and not the UUP. The days of domination are over.

Jon Burrows says: “I find the entire fact that Sinn Féin gets so many votes deeply uncomfortable.” Just as Mrs Thatcher once said: “Sinn Féin winning seats would worry me.” Unfortunately for them it’s called democracy. Come next election - give Jon a headache & vote Sinn Féin!

The comments by DUP leader Gavin Robinson today were arrogant and supremacist. The DUP is consumed with their own internal leadership troubles and divisions. They are in turmoil. The days of domination and supremacy are over. The days of treating people like second class citizens are over. There will be no going back. Not now, and not ever. I, as First Minister, will be at the Assembly on Monday morning, along with Sinn Féin’s Ministers, to continue our work. We will keep showing up every day for people.

The DUP’s entire election strategy is about removing Michelle O’Neill as First Minister. It’s about stopping the momentum for change in the North. The days of ‘no nationalist need apply’ are over. There is no going back.

👏🏼 Powerful! Emma Sheerin takes apart Jim Allister following his comments that the Garvaghy Road should be “sanitised.” Nationalist communities will never, ever be dehumanised and treated as second class citizens. There is no going back.

The DUP labelled the people of the Garvaghy Road a “rabble” & a “lawless mob”. Now Jim Allister says the Garvaghy Road should be “sanitised”. Unionist leaders are in a race to the bottom, trying to outdo each other with reckless & sectarian comments about nationalist people. But our message is clear: The days of the Garvaghy Road community, & nationalists across the north, being treated as second-class citizens are gone. And those days are not coming back. Not now. Not ever.

The British Secretary of State must step in and stop this unwanted march. The fear and trauma being inflicted on the Garvaghy Road community is wrong. Chris Bryant can stop it. 28 years of peace must be protected. The residents of Garvaghy Road must be allowed to live free from sectarian harassment. No going back!

The A5 road has been given the green light. Today is about the families who have so tragically lost loved ones along this route. There can be no more delays. This life-saving project must now move forward at pace. Sinn Féin has backed the A5 from day one and through Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins, we will keep working to see it delivered.

I will not tolerate the DUP and the orange order treating the people of the Garvaghy Road as second-class citizens. I have proudly stood in support of the Garvaghy Road community, and I will continue to do so. There can be no unwanted orange march down the Garvaghy Road.
