@Kilsally @NEA_NIreland @J_Donaldson_MP @moneillsf @BeattieDoug @columeastwood We can't do that, Alan. The UK Govt and EU Commission need are responsible for that.
We can get a government in place and help people who can't heat their homes, feed their families and make ends meet.
It's a deliberate DUP decision not to do that and not to let the rest of us.
@Cat99817913 @NEA_NIreland @J_Donaldson_MP @moneillsf @BeattieDoug @columeastwood I completely agree. I spent a good chunk of yesterday meeting with volunteers and users of a local food bank, talking about different things we could do if we had an Executive and Assembly to agree funding. It's disgraceful that we don't.
RT @StephenFarryMP: Brilliant news that Bangor Co. Down is officially set to be honoured as a City as part of the Platinum Jubilee civic honours competition. We have a great history and great future ahead of us.

@PatriciaOLynn @BelTel But there's two in 'historic' 😉
@492Luther @MagnusCanis2 @NewtonEmerson No, it was demanded by the DUP, agreed by both Govts and SF but opposed by UUP, SDLP and Alliance.
Oddly, the DUP are noe hoist on their own petard: under pre-St AA rules, DUP would still be FM.
Not the first time the DUP have been the architects of their own woes. #Brexit
@smce82 @NewtonEmerson Those are Alliance proposals? Lol!
RT @CllrMichaelLong: A real privilege to welcome some of the really heroes of the pandemic from the Virology Dept at @QUBelfast and present Lord Mayor Certificates to @UltanPower @LindsayBbent and Connor Bamford.
Our city is so proud of all your work in keeping us safe.
@NEA_NIreland @J_Donaldson_MP @moneillsf @BeattieDoug @columeastwood *simple
@AlexanderBrewis @liveraldemocrat None!!!
@The_Brain_1968 @PoliceServiceNI @TRPNI You seem to be an anonymous account with absolutely no interest in how the justice system actually works.
RT @PBNINews: Chair Max Murray & CEO Amanda Stewart met with Lesley McAllister L&OD Manager., Annie McAnallen Practice Learning Co-Ordinator & the #SocialWork students who talked about their positive experiences during their 100 day #PracticeLearning placement with us.
@Conor_Devine @J_Donaldson_MP @moneillsf @BeattieDoug @columeastwood This is where other national governments have stepped in but Westminster hasn't, but in my view must.
While even with an Executive we don't have the power to cap prices, we could at least try to mitigate the impact of these rises for people who are struggling.
@NEA_NIreland @J_Donaldson_MP @moneillsf @BeattieDoug @columeastwood There is no workaround, I'm afraid. There is, however, a sinole route back into the Assembly and Executive.
It's up to the DUP to let us do our jobs.
@prodlegacy @long_friday @CatharineHoey @MGSNewAccount1 @MaryLouMcDonald @allianceparty And because a random twitter account says something, it doesn't compel me to do anything, by the way.
Maybe focus more on the increase in electricity prices, deepening the cost-of-living crisis and quit sticking labels on everyone on Twitter?
@prodlegacy @long_friday @CatharineHoey @MGSNewAccount1 @MaryLouMcDonald @allianceparty We don't "claim" to be anything: we *are* liberal, progressive and inclusive. We are not unionist or nationalist
As for creating monsters, it's unionists who labelled us part of the "pan-nationalist front", not nationalists or us.
A case of "Be careful what you wish for"...
@AnneHea58160312 @LisaMMcGee @ChelseaClinton Thank you so much.
@StripyMoggie @BrianShannon123 @PMcReynoldsMLA I was a regular cyclist for many years - not so much recently! I'm in no doubt cycling infrastructure needs improving.
RT @CllrMichaelLong: Pleased to attend the launch of Flaxx in Brunswick St inc outdoor seating, stage & container with food outlet. Opening soon.
Provides new social hub & step towards reclaiming some of the city centre streets from the car.
Need more of this for a liveable & sustainable Belfast.
@TRPNI @PoliceServiceNI @Justice_NI @thePPSNI @HCASNI New Hate Crime legislation is a key priority for the Department. Look forward to working with you to move this forward.
Also committed to tackling the prejudice and hatred that motivates these crimes and blights so many people's lives.
RT @CllrMichaelLong: Positivity!
Great to attend the @BelfastBID launch of their city centre programme including the floral Belfast sign outside City Hall.
A great programme of events to help encourage more visitors to our City.
