Feargal Sharkey, "This year is the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. For 25 years the people of NI have been able to prosper and grow and blossom. And have discovered that this thing peace, is a very delicate beautiful little flower that needs nurturing caressing supporting." "I do wish the people of Gaza, Palestine, and Israel, get to discover what 25 years of peace, prosperity and diplomacy and democracy looks like. And that those people can blossom into a much more confident and brighter future for everyone involved" #HIGNFY

Recognition agreements are fundamental to industrial relations in the workplace, so any breach is a serious matter & changes need to be negotiated through proper procedure. The Bridlington Agreement is important for relationships between trade unions. So this is really concerning

BREAKING: Our employer has confirmed that they're refusing to withdraw their recent recognition of another union for some management grade staff. This is a direct breach of our recognition agreement. We have arranged an urgent meeting with @UniteTheUnion as to the next steps.

Johnson is the Conservative Party . He is the personification of their morales and policies. Removing him and keeping them solves nothing . They have to be removed at the first possible opportunity.

Devolution is about making decisions here. Why are people in London @UKLabour HQ taking me out? Why don’t we let local members choose their candidate? The North East needs someone who’ll put region ahead of Party. Here’s my @BBCNEandCumbria #PoliticsNorth interview.
