@cllrjohnkyle @PMcReynoldsMLA They can be, John. Especially when used to whitewash the awfulness of the fact that active paramilitaries can still impose their will (flags, murals, drugs, beatings, organised crime) on local communities.
Calling that progress 24 years on from the GFA is setting the bar v low.
@altdotder @paulmurphy68 When they are no longer working. Our MLAs are doing as much of the job as they are being permitted to and stand ready to do all of it now.
Those blocking restoration should have salaries stopped.
@ClogherHead1 We're engaging and will continue to engage with others on a without prejudice basis about the future.
We won't join an ideologically-driven campaign for the UK or a UI: however, our priority, a united community, conflicts with neither and we would argue is crucial to either.
@GeraldinBelfast Sure it would. 🙄
@Siema_skip @PCeee63 @paulmurphy68 I answered?? You're making an eejit of yourself
@PCeee63 @paulmurphy68 It isn't the poll I find unacceptable, it's the DUP refusing to serve as Deputy FM to Sinn Fein as FM.
And I am a democrat. If there is a border poll, I will of course accept the result.
@ionatan32 @BurnsGerard My constituents and the people of NI.
RT @PoliceServiceNI: This is the impact of hate crime. Everyone should be able to live a life free from fear. Take a stand with us, embrace the diversity in our local communities and say there is #NoPlaceForHate.
@paulmurphy68 They are. And that is absolutely unacceptable to me.
RT @Justice_NI: If you have been a victim of, or a witness to crime, support is available

RT @StephenFarryMP: Liz Truss should be going too
PM and Chancellor share joint responsibility for this debacle
Sacking Chancellor just reinforces her own incompetence and responsibility
RT @StephenFarryMP: Pleased to have the opportunity to set out @allianceparty perspective on constitutional issue in Seanad today.
We are open to constructive and evidence based dialogue on a without prejudice basis on both future of UK and Ireland.
Precisely. This turmoil within the Tory Party shows no sign of ending.
The Assembly could be down indefinitely if not restored by 28th October.
Time for the DUP to acknowledge the depth of the crisis and get back round the Executive table for the sake of the people we serve.
RT @NewtonEmerson: How is the EU supposed to negotiate with a government that might not last the month?
@bk2019184 @Kilsally @GeraldinBelfast I couldn't: they were too numerous to count.
@BurnsGerard Why? I'm working?
RT @StephenFarryMP: Update: I have raised points below in a cross-party meeting with Jacob Rees Mogg & BEIS officials.
We continue to challenge the amount of support.
BEIS do recognise the concerns re mechanism for payment. But we need a means to turn electricity credit into a voucher or cash.
RT @thatpaulbloomer: I’m here at the #NoPlaceForHate event as part of #NationalHCAW. @naomi_long, @ChiefConPSNI & the Hate crime advocates spoke really well on the continuing efforts to tackle hate crime in NI, while supporting victims & bringing offenders to justice.
@jameshen68 @spraypainterIE No. There is a sift of the applications to approve a list of prospective candidates.
Selection of candidates to contest individual seats is a matter for constituency associations (our membership).
@spraypainterIE @MarkHan00026354 Nope. Nothing to do with your views on a United Ireland.
Perhaps you ought to have asked, privately, their reasons before publicly speculating, Michael.
@DeazleyD No, I'm not. But we cannot pay money we don't have: I have made the case to DoF that legal aid baseline needs uplifted. Instead, it was reduced in the draft budget.
We're continuing to try to secure additional resources and working with the Law Society and Bar Council.
