Carla Lockhart is a self serving narcissist who knows her MP wage is safe until 2029 and is endangering not just Stormont, but apparently the entire concept of the GFA. I just cannot fathom why the overwhelming majority have to consistently be held to random by tribalism.
🚨NEW: This is the letter DUP MP @carlalockhart has sent to colleagues today.
👥It comes following a meeting of the @duponline earlier this afternoon.
I can't believe as Reform plummet in the polls folks are still surprised Farage cannot deliver. His third party with the exact same trajectory every single time.
The British electorate needs to take some responsibility for consistently clinging to grifters with easy fixes.
It's insane how this is already being framed as somehow her fault. The British media spent every moment platforming a paedophile to talk down his own child because they wanted to stoke the same profit machine they had with Diana.
Paid for his time, look what he spent it on.

This is largely true, the question is why do Sinn Fein think they're that party in Strangford? I just cannot understand why you'd kneecap a guaranteed nationalist seat in the heart of Unionism.
Poor Anthony Scaramucci, this was his one thing

Claiming you have to be privately educated and attend Oxbridge to know not to be racist and mysoginistic is certainly a strange strategy.
No one near me attended Oxbridge or Eton, they're still not constantly accidentally spouting racism and sexual advances to their colleagues.
When confronted for how blatant racist he is, this is the reaction. Another person who's wallet is gonna be a lot emptier shortly.

I am beyond words as to the level folks are dragging themselves down to. This is just sick, no matter your persuasion. We are all people for goodness sake.

This is why I stopped voting U. On paper I should vote unionist every cycle. Been nearly 15 years since that happened.
Why? Because this is what I'm being asked to support. Loyalists speaking as if they're representing unionists attacking any attempt to focus on ACTUAL ISSUES.
The main argument in America as to whether or not to broadcast the killing of another human being for their entire population to turn into content and have shared amongst their kids seems to be "Would God think it's okay?"
Absolute fruit loops.
American twitter today seems to be folks claiming that it's okay to livestream an execution for content because God said it was fine in the bible.
These folks aren't well.
Unionism seems content to court votes exclusively amongst the elderly who cannot let go of their prejudices, and the young stupid enough to listen to them.
The UUP nearly learned that lesson, but alas, we're back to three flavours of the same right wing nationalism.

Did we all miss the roving gangs who went round burning people out of their homes? The ones who ran a checkpoint outside hospitals checking id? The third year of this in a row? This isn't mob rule do you even live here.
There it is. The reason they all want this to be the only thing we talk about. The naked electioneering from the people who want to drag us back 30 years is revolting.
When will the TUV learn they represent the dying embers of the worst hatreds of this place? Just disgusting.
⛔️💥NEW GARVAGHY: “No parade, no Stormont.” - TUV says the DUP must walk away from power-sharing
🎥🎤@TUVonline MLA @TGastonMLA says “a line has been crossed” and Stormont is no longer sustainable following the Drumcree stand-off.
He also expresses a lack of confidence in PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher.
Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 is at Stormont and will have more throughout the day.

Isn't it wonderful that our young people finally get to understand phrases like "stand-off" "traditional route" "concerned residents" and "total shit show"? Well done everyone.
This country is an embarrassment. Both camps have just played into exactly how the other side want them to act. Both sides now see an election coming and need to flex their tribal colours.
Even more embarrassing are the political class pushing it. A nation captured by the old.
I give up. Politics in this place will continually find stupid, petty issues to revive the same old shit time and time again. It will never change because the people here simply refuse to change in any way. Parades and flags, always parades and flags.
Jon Burrows will tell the Ulster Unionists’ annual conference that unionism and Northern Ireland stand at a crossroads, and simply carving up the existing vote isn’t the way forward.
