RT @RWalmsley97: There's no point in talking about weighing up a Programme for Government as an excuse for possibly not committing to nominating.
We deserve better than a choice between bad government or no government #BBCnidebate
RT @Kelmba: This leaders debate is excruciating. DUP avoiding the fact they walked away from the Executive preventing £300m+ from being utilised to help you during this #CostOfLivingCrisis
If DUP are not prepared to work then stop them by using your vote for those who will work
@briancanavan1 @MalleyNotagain @RoLaren0117 @KateNicholl I did not engage in whataboutery.
I did unequivocally condemn the criminal damage and intimidation: there is no excuse for it and I presented none.
@EcceMandy @RoLaren0117 @KateNicholl Nowhere did I make that equivalence.
And in deliberately misrepresenting what I said, you cross a line.
I'm happy to engage with anyone but will not tolerate either deliberate misrepresentation of my views or social media pile-ons.
@EcceMandy @RoLaren0117 @KateNicholl No, I've been in receipt of some pretty vile abuse. Many trans people have been mocked by phrases about "cosplay", "Larping" and the like.
None of it advances rational discourse and all of it needs to stop.
@Fiona7689Fiona They can. A rapist can be sentences to life in prison, depending on the circumstances.
RT @thePPSNI: There's just three days left to give your views on our Policy for Prosecuting Sexual Offences. It is intended to help victims and the public understand each stage of the prosecution and trial process, including support for victims 👉 https://consultations.nidirect.gov.uk/doj/pps-policy-for-prosecuting-sexual-offences/
@RoLaren0117 @KateNicholl They absolutely are not. I may not agree with their approach, but they absolutely have a right to express an opinion and should not face threats or intimidation for doing so.
This entire "debate" has become extremely ugly and abusive, including online. It serves no-one well.
@GraemeH64591001 @StephenFarryMP I doubt that's the case Graeme.
Firstly, he didn't "mess up" our manifesto.
Secondly, he isn't a candidate in the election.
If you were going to vote for an Alliance candidate on the basis of our policies and their hard work, it'd make no sense not to over one interview.
RT @liberalinternat: On 5 May, #NorthernIreland Assembly elections take place!
LI wish our member @allianceparty & their leader @naomi_long the very best for this week's #AE22 🗳🟨 #TogetherWeCan
@CircleCaring @shaunagh_92 @joanne_sansome @flemingfulton @disabilityni @ImtacNI @Chris_McClem @joekennymusic @AndrewH_MYP @NIDisability @blindspringbok @MyWayAccess @castleDD I'm not sure who you contacted or how, but I can only apologise if you didn't get a reply.
We do our best to reply to anyone who gets in touch.
RT @CllrMichaelLong: #themondaytour
1st stop- North Down.
It is May Day so has to be Holywood & the Maypole.
Great to meet our 2 candidates @AndrewMuirNI & @connieegan94
In 2019, N Down elected @StephenFarryMP the 1st Alliance MP for the area.
This time,we can gain an extra MLA.
#TogetherWeCan
RT @SteveDonnelly95: Three years ago today people in Omagh headed out and voted with their highest hopes rather than their darkest fears.
They defied all those who said their hopes were impossible. Their hopes won.
This week, we can make history once more in West Tyrone.
@allianceparty
@AndrewH_MYP @MarkYoung23 @Chris_McClem @joanne_sansome @flemingfulton @disabilityni @ImtacNI @joekennymusic @NIDisability @blindspringbok @MyWayAccess @castleDD It specifically commits to place it in domestic law - the vehicle for that is the Single Equality Bill.
@castleDD @joanne_sansome @flemingfulton @disabilityni @ImtacNI @Chris_McClem @joekennymusic @AndrewH_MYP @NIDisability @blindspringbok @MyWayAccess @SteveDonnelly95 @allianceparty Yes, it is. It's the first commitment in the section on disability on page 16 where we commit to placing the UNCRPD "in domestic law" ie. legislation.
It would be done under the single equality act commitment in the legislative programme.
@CircleCaring @joanne_sansome @flemingfulton @disabilityni @ImtacNI @Chris_McClem @joekennymusic @AndrewH_MYP @NIDisability @blindspringbok @MyWayAccess @castleDD It's not the case. The legislative programme includes both the single equality bill and the bill of rights, both of which include this commitment.
@AndrewH_MYP @MarkYoung23 @Chris_McClem @joanne_sansome @flemingfulton @disabilityni @ImtacNI @joekennymusic @NIDisability @blindspringbok @MyWayAccess @castleDD It is part of the single equality bill - which is in the legislative programme.
That commitment is expanded upon in the section of the manifesto which sets out our wider commitments to people with disabilities.
RT @rboydo: Throughout the campaign it has been a privilege to witness the hard work of these candidates. This reflects their resolve to successfully bring about change in the last mandate and determination to continue that in the next. Vote Alliance 1 and 2 in Strangford!
RT @MichaelMcNulty9: Absolutely delighted to endorse @Kelmba and @NickDMathison . I have known both candidates for a number of years now and they are the hardest working public representatives around. Please give them your vote on Thursday.
@ChuckyRentonjim I hope that there will be prosecutions in these and other cases - that can take time - but it should happen and I would encourage anyone with information to pass it to the PSNI.
