@vinnyq12 @duponline @eastantrimmp Precisely!
@originaldanwild @duponline They may be abusing the system, but it's the people who are suffering.
That's why we want reform to stop any party holding the institutions to ransom.
RT @BelTel: Police have made three arrests in connection to a series of incidents as part of “ongoing issues” involving sectarian abuse in east Belfast. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/police-make-three-arrests-following-ongoing-issues-of-sectarian-abuse-in-east-belfast-42007132.html
No-one's claiming that an Executive could fix everything; however, without one, we can fix nothing.
If the @duponline lack the ideas or creativity to help to those who desperately need it, then let the rest of us get on with the job.
Stop using people as political leverage.
RT @BelTel: DUP insists Stormont has ‘no magic wand’ to deal with energy crisis https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/dup-insists-stormont-has-no-ma…
RT @nichildcom: It was amazing to visit Barnahus in Reykjavik. They have put children who have experienced abuse at the centre of the criminal justice system ensuring that their evidence is secured early and they can get support.
I am more confident that we can make it happen in Northern Ireland
RT @ShriekingGreek: We can not over estimate how life changing a Barnahus in NI will be for children and young people who have experienced the most horrific abuse.
RT @KateNicholl: Thank you @frank_broadcast for covering the South Belfast Toy Drive - if you have good quality toys, books & baby clothes you can drop them off at the Chinese Welfare Association Mon-Fri 12-2pm. Come along on the 30th September to pick up or swap a toy ⬇️
RT @connieegan94: Attended the launch of Crushed By Cost Of Living campaign today with my @allianceparty colleagues.
Powerful testimonies from organisations and people with lived experience. The clear message was get an Executive back up and running and deliver support urgently. #CrushedByCOL
RT @MichelleGuy4: Everyone has to listen to this! @SorchaEastwood and Sinead Quinn from @derryantipov absolutely demolishing Sammy Wilson/DUP on cost of living. Holding households to ransom during this crisis is an unjustifiable and unsustainable position.

Some people were outraged when I said Brexit was an act of self-harm by Unionists.
It seems, however, to be borne out by these results.
RT @SJAMcBride: As @rorycarroll72 notes, there's been a big drop in those identifying as British; the great disruption there isn't differential birth rates or emigration, but Brexit which destabilised the status quo in a way few of its unionist backers will admit.
RT @dearbhla17: Children in the most deprived areas are 6 TIMES more likely to be placed on the child protection register
They are are 4 TIMES more likely to be taken into care
@AndyMcClenaghan highlights some of the impact that poverty has on children & young people.
RT @PaulaJaneB: Fully supportive of @CR_UK's campaign highlighting the importance of early cancer diagnosis.
Most cancer cases are diagnosed in people aged 50 and over in NI, so please do not ignore unusual changes as 'just' getting older. Talk to your GP, not yourself.

RT @DannyDonnelly1: I attended a very hard-hitting Cost of Living Crisis event today at Stormont where we heard shocking statistics from organisations helping people in need and personal testimonies from those suffering from the cost of living crisis.1/2
@dryan_EDC See those holes? That's where your dignity oozes out...lol
RT @AmandaFBelfast: Economy minister Gordon Lyons sounds agitated on air. Alliance Party MLA Sorcha Eastwood is really getting under the skin of the DUP… #bbcevex #laganvalley #colcrisis
RT @Actn4ChildrenNI: Today in Parliament Buildings, we heard powerful voices from across the region calling for action on the cost of living crisis and calling for a restoration of gov to enact emergency measures and implement long-term anti-poverty strategy.
🧵1/ #CrushedbyCOL
@MVMCCU MPs, MLAs, MSPs, AMs were offered the opportunity to attend various stages of the lying in state, as were Commonwealth and other heads of Govt.
Genuinely, finding it quite upsetting that people are lying about what happened or suggesting either of us would be disrespectful.
RT @RapeCrisis_NI: Our line is open this evening, 6-8pm for anyone that has been impacted by rape or sexual assault.
If our service is right for you, we can allocate you to our one-to-one support service where fully trained support workers will listen, believe & support you.
RT @PaulaJaneB: Just out of briefing w/ @healthdpt along w/ other parties’ health spokespersons.
Let no-one be in any doubt: the financial pressures on our health and social care sector are huge and we need an Executive in place to mitigate, as much as possible, against them!
RT @StephenFarryMP: NI is not the same as GB when it comes to energy market. Just £100 extra for those with home heating oil is utterly derisory. We need tailored solutions for NI. This is now the most damning indictment of the absence of a NI Executive. Shame on DUP.
