RT @mlchealth: A date for your diary, June 1st when Daithi’s law - the new opt out organ donation law for NI comes into effect. It makes all adults in NI organ donors unless they specifically state otherwise. I bet this means another cake. What a lad ⭐️ @Donate4Daithi @BBCNewsNI

@JimGamble_INEQE @jay_burbank @niallmcgee @meehaall @BelTel No. They are not.

All parties have worked for change to the protocol, and the EU has been willing to compromise for some time.

This deal is down to having a grown-up in No 10 who was willing to engage with the EU respectfully and to stick to his word.

Trust delivered this.

@SPENCE_JOHN @roger_gilpin @allianceparty I mean people who understand that to do business and make deals, you need to be trusted by others to do what you say you will.

Those kind of adults, yes.

Ultimately it is about the young people - they deserve our very best which I hope I’ve done X

@bea_johanssen He didn't merely try to implement it, he supported it and campaigned for it.

@EducatedOranje @jonnyharvey11 @___stev_ie__ @JoelKeysNI We agree again. Reform, to free us from the shackles of binary politics and the instability that goes with it, is essential.

We can respect GFA principles without being forever trapped in 1998: we've evolved as a society, as was intended, and the institutions need to as well.

RT @duncan_morrow: A brake can’t be a dead stop veto. The dominant instrument since the GFA has not been reconciliation, powersharing or problem solving but mutual veto. The POC is now a reactionary lever not a legitimate protection. We need a footbrake which slows, steers and is released gently.

RT @allianceparty: "There is no good reason why the Assembly and Executive should not be up and running," says @EoinTennyson

Whether this deal restores the Executive or not, we need to have a serious conversation about reform of the institutions, so this can never happen again.

RT @WAVETrauma: Another year for the family of Lisa Dorrian without being able to lay her to rest beside her mum.
Another year of cruelty & callousness that those who know where she is continue to withhold information. Another year of love & continued resolve by Lisa’s family to bring her home.

RT @SorchaEastwood: Significant that Prime Minister presser is at Coca-Cola HBC in Lagan Valley, a company who have previously stated that protocol & dual market access is key to their business & keeping jobs in my constituency. When others wanted to scrap it, we prioritised dual market access.

"Nobody else has that."

Well, you did, actually. Plus, the opt outs. But you binned it for Brexit.

Go figure...
