I was kindly invited to sit on the panel at this event today. It was refreshing, there was positivity, there were definite defined actions and priorities, and it actually gave me some hope. If there can be cross party working on this basis we can get somewhere

.@AndyofAlliance is proud to call South Down his home💛 In 2022, you made history by electing the first cross-community Alliance MLA in the constituency. Next May, we have the chance to do it again - choose hope over fear and lets build a shared future for everyone.

Fuel prices are rising fast, putting more pressure on families across Northern Ireland. We're calling on the UK Government to temporarily cut fuel duty to help ease the pressure at the pump.

Great to attend @Trussell_NI Pathways to End the Need for Food Banks event. Ending the need for food banks means tackling the root causes of hardship and building a society where everyone can thrive. Thanks to Fiona and the team for hosting #trusselltrust #endfoodbankneed

The board includes the statement, “I pledge my support for ending the need for food banks in Northern Ireland,” alongside several signatures. A green panel on the left outlines Trussell’s vision of a Northern Ireland where everyone has access to the essentials, including a secure home, sufficient income, and food.

School uniform prices are a joke 💵 The Education Minister promised to put an end to unaffordable uniforms, but families continue to struggle. This legislation must go further. We need to: cap costs, reduce branded items, and give parents more affordable options.

So sorry to hear of Dolly Parton’s passing. Apart from her music, her investment in books for children is a legacy across the world. facebook.com/share/v/1PFRM62… #dollypartontribute

A Councillor, an MLA, a Minister. Just need an MP and it’s a full house of resignations for this variant of the UUP

120,000 people across Northern Ireland juggle work while caring for a sick or disabled loved one. Sinn Féin promised them paid carer’s leave. Now they’ve watered it down to unpaid leave instead. Carers deserve support, not more broken promises.
Image of a timeline. Text reads: March 2024: Sinn Féin says all workers should have a right to paid carer's leave. Now: Sinn Féin deny 120,000 people paid carer's leave.
