Nick Robinson, "You've had a candidate who says Muslims should be removed from the UK" Nigel Farage, "Really" Nick Robinson, "You've had a candidate who claims that Africans have a low IQ" "Why do you think that people with extreme and unpleasant views rally to your cause?" Nigel Farage, "We've had an awful lot of candidates stitched up in the most extraordinary way. With quotes taken out of context" Nick Robinson, "Why do they rally to your cause?" Nigel Farage, "The truth of it is, before I got involved Reform was virtual Nick Robinson, "I'm asking you a different question, I'm asking about you" Nigel Farage, "No no no no no no no no no no no.

I'll bringing a motion this evening with a cross party group of colleagues for Council to have more time on this tonight and joining unions at the protest at 6pm. We need an informed, open, transparent and detailed process.
Union warns against outsourcing Council leisure services in Ards, Comber & Portaferry. 🥅 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-i…

Always delightful to see “professional” dog walkers walking 6 or 7 dogs right through the wildlife only area of Bull Island 😤. Sending up a few thousand birds when there’s a whole other area zoned out for your purpose.

🪺Nesting birds, their active nests, eggs & dependent young are protected by law. It is a criminal offence to disturb, kill or injure them. Most birds nest during the Spring/Summer however many species can be nesting earlier or later than this. More info: wildlifecrimeni.org/_files/u…

Same in Fermanagh Jon. Early purple orchids hammered again this year on A47 - as per usual. Hundreds of miles of verge needlessly (no safety issues) cut in past fortnight, nothing has changed on the ground.
