📣We're hiring!
If you'd like to work with @PMcReynoldsMLA or me in the #EastBelfast Assembly Constituency Office, follow the link below for details and an application pack for the 4 positions.
@kevinpbreslin @columeastwood @ChrisHazzardSF @reg4change Be interesting to know if I'm the only party leader to reject as the others just ignored it...
@Redeyes1878 @adampayne26 No. We aren't going to have a briefing after the bill is complete, which will then be spun by Govt as engagement throughout the process, as has happened before.
@menaman27 Who voted. Which is the only reliable metric we have for opinion.
@c_gilkinson Not sure what you're trying to say? It doesn't make sense?
RT @PSNIBelfastE: We are appealing for information and witnesses following a report of an armed robbery on the Belmont Road, East Belfast yesterday, Saturday June 11th, afternoon.
RT @letsfindlisa: Today we could not visit Lisa at a grave to wish her happy 43rd birthday. Instead we visited her Garden for Thoughts and hung lovely tributes to her on her memorial tree. We really want to lay her to rest 💔 #letsfindlisa
RT @AndrewMuirNI: Congratulations to Cllr Stephen Donnelly @SteveDonnelly95 elected as Alliance Party Chair alongside Cllr Rachael Ferguson @raichfer87 as Vice Chair at @allianceparty AGM yesterday
Delighted to see Stephen and Rachael take the helm as part of Team Alliance #TogetherWeCan
@nigethugrug @JamieBrysonCPNI @SorchaEastwood @trussliz @edwinpootsmla @BBCNolan @hilarybennmp NI economy is NOT struggling: it is one of only two UK regions showing economic growth.
Listen to NI businesses: they're clear they don't support this bill or unilateral action by the UK Govt on the protocol.
They want negotiated improvements not undermining of the protocol.
@2legit2quitNI @richardtgarland @adampayne26 @BrandonLewis Believe Brandon if you wish. He also denied there were checks at NI ports...
RT @CSWilliams111: @naomi_long @adampayne26 If that's the case, surely the UK Government are not governing with "rigorous impartiality on behalf of all the people" as required in Article 1 (v) of the GFA?
RT @SorchaEastwood: We've only been saying this for last 6 yrs, but UKG are still not listening when we say that DUP are NOT representative of NI on brexit. But instead of listening, they've doubled down on exacerbating the situation & will hurt NI with this proposed bill. They do not care about NI
@katy_scarletta @bluemark10 @adampayne26 Sadly, you also have a vivid imagination and a rather odd criteria for who you'll have a drink with.
I've had an odd drink with people from right across the political spectrum whose views I don't share.
It's what a surprisingly large number of normal people in NI do these days.
@SimonCatRiley @adampayne26 Yes, via negotiation and agreement with the EU, not illegal, unilateral action by UK. Doing the latter fails to provide the certainty and clarity (both operating and legal) that NI business needs and risks creating an environment ripe for exploitation by Organised Crime Gangs.
@MatthewLeeman3 Says someone commenting on my tweets...
Maybe take your own advice?
@nigethugrug @JamieBrysonCPNI @SorchaEastwood @trussliz @edwinpootsmla @BBCNolan We've never claimed to oppose that approach. We object to it being implemented illegally and unilaterally, as do most businesses, and to much of the other nonsense in the Bill.
RT @SteveDonnelly95: As a teenager I joined a small but committed group of people who believed better was possible.
A decade later I am proud to have been elected as Chair of a strong @allianceparty - ready to work with our Leadership and Assembly team of 17 to build a progressive, united society.
RT @ShellKell00: Happy 2nd Birthday to @jackcoffeebar, situated in @EastSideVC at C.S Lewis Square. Dog and child friendly and they do an amazing dirty chai latte 😁#eastbelfast
@KateNicholl I'll send you the copy of the citation - I know you'd have died of embarrassment had you been there to hear it read out. But every word of it is true 💛
