The UN assesses it will likely take 80 years to rebuild Gaza. On a highly unlikely, best-case scenario, it will take at least 16 years. But hey, leaving Palestinians for decades to live in tents, with no schools, no universities, no factories, no hospitals – nothing genocidal to…
Dont get me wrong. Mark's a lovely bloke.
Not only did civil servants wipe the phones of some Stormont ministers after being repeatedly warned by the Covid Inquiry not to do so - but they then altered the minutes of a meeting which said that, changing it 13 times. ➡️belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/health/co… belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/health/co…
The only answer is an immediate, unconditional ceasefire, a release of all hostages and an internationally supported return to the values of the peace process and a two state solution. Anything else is unjustifiable madness!!

We’re running legs of the marathon on 4 May to raise vital funds for Cancer Focus NI. They do great work on the ground and with research. It’s in memory of my dad and to coincide with his anniversary. Any donations mean the world to us. Cheers! 🙂 justgiving.com/page/siobhan-m…
I’m old remember when we were told Stormont coming back urgently was the answer to all our local political problems. Did anyone in their right mind really believe that?!

People who say "even a toenail is offside" under the current rules probably applauded the police arresting sunbathers during Covid under "the current rules". Get a sense of what's right you creeps. Coventry should be in the FA Cup Final.
7 easy steps to outlawing marches that call for an end to Israel's genocide in Gaza: 1. Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, an aggressively pro-Israel organisation which led a smear campaign against former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn – one…
I for one welcome the UUP decision to select Tim Collins to stand in North Down. Frankly, there aren’t enough poorly informed, egotistical, arrogant, right-wing cranks living in Kent standing for election here. Another masterstoke brought to you by the UUP. #sundaypolitics

Sad to hear that @IAmTheEggPod and @BeatlesPod are hanging up their mics, but oh what hearty, nourishing, nutritious Beatley goodness they've served up for us over the years. Caps duly doffed. Thanks for everything, fellas, you've got a lucky face. ❤️
Still shocked by this, to be honest. Will miss the show a lot. One question, though: which one of you said, ‘I think you’re daft, I want a divorce?’ 😉@Steven__C

Every time The Beatles were referenced in The Sopranos:
It truly is a shocking revelation to find out that both @IAmTheEggPod and @BeatlesPod is real are both going into hiatus… Despite my professional jealousy towards them both, all I can say is that I’ll truly miss both shows. They set a standard I enjoyed attempting to match…

Friends, Let me make this absolutely clear. I will not tolerate your racism. Don’t send me your messages.. I will block you without hesitation I am married to a man of colour and we have 3 gorgeous children.. all born in Belfast. And this is their home. Racism will not win.
I'm proud to represent a shared constituency. Symbols that matter to constituents and friends, including national flags, matter to me. But too often they flutter in rags, used to mark territory or glorify paramilitaries. A code of practice and enforcement is years overdue.
Today of all days, remembering and being grateful for all the blessings I have in life. ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ
