It’s truly an honour to have been selected by my party to be the next Lord Mayor of Belfast in June. This is a significant moment for the LGBTQ+ community, as I step into a role which has never represented us before. I look forward to getting stuck in! belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…
We can't continue to allow communities to be held to ransom by the presence of some flags, emblems and banners, Alliance reps have said ahead of the party’s Assembly motion calling for action from the First Minister and deputy First Ministers. See more:allianceparty.pulse.ly/21puwwwrtc
This week I’ve been called a “p*do”, “gr**mer” & a “c*nt”. Trolling comes with the job, but the volume of defamatory & abusive comments has been appalling & relentless. It won’t silence or deter me. Social media companies need to get a grip & these lads need to get a life.👇
Stormont’s youngest MLA, who came out as gay at 19, said he always felt excluded during sex education lessons in school, and recalled classmates and teachers mocking same-sex relations. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/education…
Very sad news indeed. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and former colleagues. Stephen was a genuine and thoroughly decent man and an insightful and thoughtful journalist and reporter. He will be hugely missed by all who knew him.

This is going to be a difficult year, but after years of stop start government the UK Government has done little to prevent the situation we're now in. See what @EoinTennyson had to say on last night’s episode of the View. 👇
"This is the worst circumstance in which any executive budget has ever been tabled" Alliance's @EoinTennyson says he can see why the Health Minister is angry. @MarkCarruthers7 #bbctheview
Politicians must not fuel false and divisive narratives, but rather lead and inform.
Politicians must not fuel false and divisive narratives, but rather lead and inform.
We need a stabilisation budget to lay the foundations for public service transformation in the future, says @EoinTennyson. That's how we deliver on health waiting lists, public sector pay claims, and childcare.
The DUP is in no position to lecture anyone on human rights, equality, or the imposition of values, says @EoinTennyson. We will take our evidence on RSE from the NSPCC, the Children's Law Centre, and the Children's Commissioner, among many other experts in the field 👇
It is fantastic news that Lurgan Model Primary School has received approval from the Department for Education to transform to integrated status. I am hugely grateful to the parents, pupils, teachers, Governors and staff who have driven this progressive step. 👏🏻
Super proud of my party colleagues in the Assembly today. In the face of misdirection and dog-whistle politics from opponents, they have stuck to the evidence. Particular shoutout to @EoinTennyson for his honest contribution which showed the unfortunate reality of current RSE.

So proud of my colleagues who spoke with conviction & knowledge - in particular @EoinTennyson who bravely shared his experience as a young LGBT pupil & how our failure in this area impacted him. Shameful treatment from the DUP benches which I will be writing to the speaker about.
Very interesting how many of those opposing our motion on RSE would not allow interventions from Alliance. Almost as though they know their arguments don’t stand up against the recommendations of CLC, NDPCC, NICCY, CEDAW, Gillen Review, NIHRC, Family Mediation NI, Positive Life..
Delighted that the UK Government have agreed to include NI in their bill to overturn convictions as a result of the #Horizon scandal. This is an important step closer to NI Sub-postmasters getting justice for the wrongs they have suffered.
Relationships and Sexual Education is one of the most powerful safeguarding tools against abuse and coercion. That’s why we need a standardised approach so all children have access to the same information they need to have happy healthy relationships.
Alliance’s Environment Spokesperson @JohnBlairMLA praised the DAERA Minister’s plan to ban disposable vapes, which aligns perfectly with this year’s Earth Day theme of plant vs plastics. See more here: allianceparty.org/blair_commends…
Thanks to pressure from @naomi_long and @StephenFarryMP the UK Government have agreed to include NI in their bill to overturn convictions as a result of the #Horizon scandal. This is an important step closer to NI sub postmasters getting justice for the wrongs they have suffered.
The DUP’s “let kids be kids” campaign is a disgusting dog-whistle to the far-right. Information is power. Access to comprehensive, factual & age-appropriate RSE is the best defence our young people have against abuse and coercion - be it in childhood or later in life.
Every child should receive inclusive, evidence-based, and age-appropriate RSE, says @KateNicholl, ahead of Assembly debate Read more: allianceparty.pulse.ly/wwmhzxkeka

Our motion calling on the First and deputy First Minister take action and regulate how flags are displayed has passed! Now we need to see action.
A petroleum licensing/fracking ban is essential to prevent environmental damage. It's illogical not to have cross-party action at all levels of government, including local councils, for a ban to address a widespread concern. I welcome the Economy Minister's commitment to do this

The idea the World Economic Forum is clandestinely working to select the ceremonial mayor of Derry & Strabane District Council involves exactly the sort of insight you'd expect from the guy who claimed that the Sandy Hook massacre was a conspiracy in which no one died.
Looking back at the TV career of Stephen "the scoop of scoops" Grimason.
Spoke this afternoon to support a complete Ban on fracking. @allianceparty want to see a transition completely away from fossil fuels and faster paced action to deliver a fairer greener society that is powered by renewable energy.

I find this very upsetting. The hatred and the homophobia. One of the best things about Irish politics is the accessibility of our public representatives. We are going to end up with a TD dead if this continues.
Just listen to the violence in these voices as they abuse Leo Varadkar.
Sad, sad news. A fine journalist, a team player and a thoroughly decent human being. He’ll be missed by all who knew him - and many who didn’t… bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northe…
He was also called a c*nt and a f*ggot. So I’m not sure what you want his reaction to be? I thought he handled it remarkably well and with class. Something that’s lacking in the two eejits in the car. I’d have thrown my drink at them.
Leo Varadkar smirks as he is called a traitor. #IrelandBelongsToTheIrish
The relentless and homophonic nature of this abuse should be called out by all quarters. While there’s the usual ‘rough and tumble’ of politics, this can and never should be it. Solidarity to Eóin and to everyone else who faces similar abuse.
This week I’ve been called a “p*do”, “gr**mer” & a “c*nt”. Trolling comes with the job, but the volume of defamatory & abusive comments has been appalling & relentless. It won’t silence or deter me. Social media companies need to get a grip & these lads need to get a life.👇
