@garygary12345 @KateNicholl What are you looking for? My guess is attention...
@Matt84704352 @KateNicholl Does that make it right? And then what happens to constituents? In any other job, maternity provision is in place to ensure that there is no disadvantage or gap left.
@ozone1068 @KateNicholl And? In every other line of work maternity leave is a right?
@HoratioNelson0 @KateNicholl What's where you work or whether it's physically demanding got to do with maternity rights?
@westie1988ie @LouMathews @KateNicholl What free creche? And this isn't about childcare - that's a different issue, and no-one is arguing MLAs can't afford it.
Maternity leave is an.entirely different issue: not wishing to point out the obvious, but partners, family and friends can't breastfeed a newborn.
RT @KateNicholl: Going back to work 3 weeks after having a baby is not an example I want to set. MLAs should have the option of maternity leave - it’s a barrier for some women getting involved in politics, plus Govt really should lead by example when it comes to equal opportunities & inclusion.
RT @ITWomensPodcast: Podcast: @naomi_long talks to @kathysheridanIT about her matriarchal upbringing, misogyny in politics, her struggle with endometriosis, and her primary school teacher’s appearance in Derry Girls.
All in our latest episode ⤵️

RT @SaveBritishFood: This Govt is paving the way for USA low standard imports to undercut British standards and decimate our farming sector and public health.
RT @bbctheview: "There are no sacred cows." @PaulaJaneB tells @MarkCarruthers7 there will be no "parish pump politics" from @allianceparty over potential changes to the health service...
RT @allianceparty: "All Government Departments have a responsibility for health and wellbeing," says @PaulaJaneB on why we need to be focused on health, to ensure the success of the transformation process.
@hughquinn31 @darrenleckey @PoliceServiceNI I'm not the security minister.
And I have commented on collusion.
RT @DannyDonnelly1: This is rubbish. @stewartcdickson and I were elected in May because enough people in East Antrim voted for @allianceparty’s positive, progressive politics not because of some ‘split vote’ (which doesn’t happen in STV elections). No-one’s vote is owned !
@RoryMcGimpsey @Colin899Dean We've been clear - we fought the election calling for institutional reform (which has been our policy since 1998).
@food_writer Anything tasting of aniseed.
Anything tasting of almonds.
Any hot drinks.
Milk/custard/cream/blancmange.
Offal.
Tofu.
@JCM_34 @Colin899Dean It is. A quick scroll through tweets at me today and it's lie, after lie after lie. Tedious.
@KateNicholl @bbcnickrobinson Thank you x
@Colin899Dean Not actually what we have said. We've said that any party who wants to sit outside govt ought to be free to do so. We said the same when SF were blocking govt.
@Richard26757887 @PoliceServiceNI I have no "terrorist cohorts".
I note the people who make such defamatory remarks always do so from the coward's castle of online anonymity...
Shocking and totally unacceptable that this kind of terrorist display is still taking place in 2022.
It's time paramilitaries and their structures were firmly consigned to the past.
If you have any information, please contact @PoliceServiceNI on 101.
RT @BelTel: The video shows a masked man emerging from a residential property before firing a volley of shots and saluting a coffin. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-i…
@Lilliputian77 Another word salad from this classic troll account.🙄
