Carla Lockhart and the DUP need to face the facts: they no longer hold a veto over our democracy.
Michelle O’Neill is First Minister because the people put her there.
The days of ‘No nationalist need apply’ are over; the North has changed for good.
There. Is. No. Going. Back.
Gavin Robinson cant even rein in Carla Lockhart within his own ranks, so his performative threats to ‘punish’ Sinn Féin FM Michelle O’Neill are pure bluster - as hollow as they are laughable
Political realities in the North have changed forever
There. Is. No. Going. Back.
Proud to join hundreds of Republicans in West Belfast as they selected 4 Sinn Féin candidates for the next assembly election.
This election is the most important in generations.
It is an opportunity to show that change is unstoppable and there will be No Going Back.
Incredible reaction to our Strangford campaign launch yesterday.
Together, let’s make history.
Let’s elect the first Sinn Féin MLA ever in Strangford.
I am honoured to have been selected as Sinn Féin’s Strangford candidate for the Assembly election.
There has never been a Nationalist MLA in Strangford. You can change that next May.
Together, let’s do it. Let’s make history and elect the first Sinn Féin MLA ever in Strangford.

Through an accident of birth, Micheál Martin enjoys the freedom won by generations across Ireland
Yet for decades, he has told citizens in one corner that his freedom is not for them
History will judge him harshly
If the approach to the failed talks to resolve Drumcree had been followed by those who negotiated the Good Friday Agreement, “nothing” would have been agreed, the Taoiseach has said. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…
I was with a school lately who have been told by the EA to wait almost a year for a replacement mobile classroom after the roof collapsed - kids now have to be taught in the food hall next to the school kitchen
Yet they want to gift £30,000 to a soccer club
This is a scandal
The head of the Education Authority has provided a belated explanation about the proposed allocation of £30,000 to a football team, claiming that an email from the Department of Education was “never received” due to a typo.

Like many millions of people around the world, Sally and “a lot of people in Ireland” are appalled at the crimes of the apartheid Israeli state
In no way does that amount to an “anti-Jewish stance” as Boulton says here
His words however undoubtedly amount to defamation
This is a great read - highly recommend ⬇️
What kind of united Ireland do we want to build?
Caoilfhionn Ní Dhonnabháin’s new book puts equality, solidarity and the public good at the heart of that debate. A hopeful challenge to think beyond the limits of the Ireland we know.

The party of the Orange state still struggling with the concept of ‘one person, one vote’
Michelle is First Minister because the electorate put her there
The only “stitch-up” was Jeffrey Donaldson flip-flopping back to London and gifting the Deputy FM role to the unelected ELP
The pan-unionist bid to remove Michelle O'Neill and SF ministers was doomed by cross-community voting rules from the outset.
Yet they couldn't even muster a simple majority in the Assembly, let alone cross-community support.
Pathetic, time-wasting political posturing.
Today belongs to the Garvaghy Road community.
28 years of peace and progress, defended and protected.
Across Ireland, people from every background have made their voices heard: we will not be dragged back to the past.
There is no going back.
Not now. Not ever.
The best the British PM can offer on sky-high fuel costs is… a “Google Maps update” 😒
Absolute performative nonsense
Hard not to conclude that big fossil fuel donors still have a vice grip on Downing Street
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.
Gavin Robinson repeats his ludicrous claim that Sinn Féin is “goading him to collapse Stormont” when everyone can see and hear his own party colleagues are in fact the ones ‘goading’ him to walk away from Stormont
💥BREAKING GARVAGHY: PSNI to issue interview letters to those suspected of offences as DUP leader says he won’t be ‘goaded’ into collapsing Stormont
🚨Police are "moving to the next phase of their investigation into the Drumcree/Garvaghy Road dispute."
🎥@duponline Leader @GRobinsonDUP has welcomed the development.
🎤He also told Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 that he will not be provoked into collapsing Stormont, after deputy First Minister @little_pengelly told this station this week that she was working towards "stability."
Assistant Chief Constable Davy Beck has confirmed that a large-scale investigation has been progressing, led by an experienced Senior Investigating Officer.
He said: “This team have been methodically working through the evidence collected by police so far during the operation, building this material into evidential packages in respect of identified persons reasonably suspected of committing offences. This work will now proceed to the next phase where individuals will receive letters regarding the interview process.
“I am satisfied that this step does not have an impact on the ongoing Judicial Review, which I respect.
“As this is a live criminal investigation we will not be making any further comment at this time.”
More on-air and online.
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.
90 years ago, Irish dockers & Jewish workers stood shoulder to shoulder on Cable Street to stop Mosley’s fascists
Today in London, that same spirit echoed loud and clear - with Garvaghy Road solidarity front and centre
There can be no going back!
¡No Pasarán! ✊🏼🚩
In short: We allowed ‘you’ to have the Fleadh so it’s only right ‘we’ get to walk Garvaghy
A depressing illustration of the sectarian transactional pork barrel politics that sustains division and keeps enmities enflamed
