Couldn’t let the day pass without sending solidarity with all our workers especially those still engaged in industrial action. A fair pay isn’t too much to ask for.
May Day/Workers' Day /International Workers' Day, is the day that commemorates the struggles and gains made by workers and the labour movement. It’s also the date the British government enacted its debasing Legacy Act with injustice intentionally at its very core @ECHR_CEDH
Students from @DiscoverCAFRE attended the Education Programme today. They met and received a talk from @patsymcglone , @TomElliottMLA and AERA Minister @AndrewMuirNI
Never seen parts of Twitter get so exercised about who the Mayor of Derry and Strabane is before. Solidarity with @Lseenoi
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.
The disgusting abuse levelled at Lillian from some of the most vile hate mongers and conspiracists not just in Ireland, but the world, says a lot about where this platform and public debate is drifting. She is a brilliant, talented leader who has our support.

.@MatthewOToole2 sums up the Executive perfectly in todays @irish_news 👇🏼 ‘Billions of notions contained in motions, but not a notion of when or how they will be delivered’ #SDLP irishnews.com/news/northern-…
Good morning! Today's front page. We say it's time for the Executive to take action after 12 weeks back in Stormont
Some thoughts on a missed opportunity Budget. While acknowledging the fiscal position the Executive is in, and the squeeze of high inflation and UK austerity, the Budget statement is abysmally weak on prioritisation, clarity and far short of Executive parties promised. Thread..
Today's budget shows the Executive has no idea what their priorities are or how to save our public services. Health waiting lists, childcare, the cost of living - we are no clearer on how the Executive plans to solve these issues. @MatthewOToole2 sdlp.ie/executive_budg…
Today the Committee held its strategic planning session at Clothorthy House @ANBorough Members then took the opportunity to hear from @Daera officials regarding Lough Neagh.
Anyone at @TUVonline prepared to comment on this heartless prick’s comment?😡

Constructive consultation yesterday with @hilarybennmp, wherein he provided clear and unambiguous commitment that Labour will repeal Legacy Act and will restore Inquests and the right to take civil cases “Events of the past we cannot change but Acts of Parliament we can”
My article in today’s @irish_news on why no historian should have anything to do with the British government’s “independent public history” project, a charade that is intrinsically linked to the reviled British Legacy Act. irishnews.com/opinion/no-his…
Today, Wednesday, May 1st, 2024, will live forever in infamy as the day the British government erased history and abolished justice for victims rather than disclose the truth. The Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 is indeed the #BillOfShame
The Legacy Act comes into force tonight. Rather than helping victims get justice, the Bill seeks to protect those who carried out inexcusable violence. Victims’ groups have been clear with their condemnation of this Bill. The British government have failed them.
The obscene & immoral Legacy Act comes into force at midnight. It's an absolute insult to those who died in the Troubles. Every political party & victims' group in NI opposes it. Yet the British Government carries on regardless. They are literally murdering justice.
Deeply grateful for the meaningful consultation with @hilarybennmp this afternoon, & his sensitive consideration of our circumstances Much appreciate his recommitment to restore legacy inquests and civil cases “Events of the past we cannot change, but Acts of Parliament we can”

Never seen parts of Twitter get so exercised about who the Mayor of Derry and Strabane is before. Solidarity with @Lseenoi
So many racist scumbags knocking about online. The stupidity of it is the worst. That’s the leveller with social media, you’re subjected to the views of people you’d cross the street to avoid. I maintain that most people are decent, so the mute and block options help.✌🏻
#BlueLights in 15s, GO! 👏 #iPlayer
SDLP Leader Colum Eastwood MP has defended incoming Mayor of Derry and Strabane Cllr Lilian Barr, who will make history as N. Ireland's first black Mayor, after she was subjected to "targeted abuse from far-right hate mongers," including US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Absolutely delighted for @Lseenoi! An incredible human rights advocate and a mightily impressive woman! I’m really excited to see her excel as Mayor! Horrendous to see some of the things said to her and about her today, there’s no place in our society for such racist hate!
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.
The disgusting abuse levelled at Lillian from some of the most vile hate mongers and conspiracists not just in Ireland, but the world, says a lot about where this platform and public debate is drifting. She is a brilliant, talented leader who has our support.
SDLP councillor due to become Northern Ireland’s first black mayor faces `targeted abuse’ irishnews.com/news/northern-…
Thought I’d seen it all on the social media sewer but this has drawn grifters & hate mongers from every dark corner of the internet. Lilian is an *elected* councillor, will be Mayor because of her substantial *ability*, and will be brilliant in the many ways these goons are not
Congratulations to the formidable @Lseenoi who’ll make a magnificent first citizen for Derry & an impact far beyond. Have known Lilian as an activist & colleague almost 10 years, admiring her energy & thinking on a New Ireland & new Northern Ireland. A Maasai woman & a Derry girl
Total solidarity with @Lseenoi Have voiced concerns about process, but none about what Lilian will bring as mayor. Racist thugs won't deter her from doing a terrific job.
