RT @Luighseach: An election in NI now will be an “absolute farce”, according to one business owner who branded the present political impasse as “soul destroying”. She is tired of the daily "groundhog conversations" when it is small businesses like hers that are suffering.

RT @NewtonEmerson: A correct description of what happens, in line with the GFA. The fuss over this has been absurd, and counter-productive.
RT @allianceparty: "No-one can tell me who the collapse of the Assembly is benefitting - certainly not the communities across NI that put us here," says @PMcReynoldsMLA

RT @Justice_NI: Earlier this month Minister Long launched a public consultation to seek views on the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR) in NI

@dinonadx @CoulterEdel @moneillsf @J_Donaldson_MP @columeastwood @BeattieDoug @RobinSwannMoH @RCN_NI @chhcalling @duponline Completely agree.
RT @PatriciaOLynn: Today’s message is clear. We must REFORM our institutions to end RANSOM POLITICS.
Email your MLAs. Contact the SoS. Write to local newspapers. Phone in to radio shows.
Use YOUR VOICE to tell the PM and the DUP that people here deserve better.
RT @DannyDonnelly1: Narrator - ‘the majority of local political parties were surprised to hear this message directed at them as they had been prevented from ‘getting on with it’ by one party because they did not get their way.’
#ReformTheInstitutions
RT @Kelmba: Indicative timings for the Assembly recall tomorrow
From what I’m hearing, @duponline will continue to treat all of you as leverage meaning we will not successfully elect a Speaker
You can let DUP know how you feel being used as leverage when @chhcalling declares an election
RT @PSNILGBT: Our friends in @TRPNI are seeking a new Hate Crime Advocacy officer. The Hate crime advocate plays a vital role in supporting LGBT+ victims of hate crime in NI, as well as helping LGBT+ people gain access to justice. More information at the link below. 👇
RT @allianceparty: Unconscionable to leave health system without clear leadership during severe winter ahead, says @PaulaJaneB

@takingiteasy62 @BeattieDoug @LBLLuke No. It isn't the case.
@smccarthynire @jonathanWATP @BeattieDoug Stephen, it collapsed before St Andrews. That's why there was a St Andrews.
It was a poor reform, but John McCallister further reformed it and the UUP supported that and went into opposition.
Let's judge reform on its merits.
@Raewkrow If we were the largest party, yes.
If another party was bigger, they'd get FM, and if "other" was the largest designation and we were the largest party in it, we'd be dFM.
@CoulterEdel @moneillsf @J_Donaldson_MP @columeastwood @BeattieDoug @RobinSwannMoH @RCN_NI @chhcalling I completely agree. People are suffering while some are posturing. It's obscene.
RT @allianceparty: Tomorrow Alliance will join MLAs from across the political spectrum in telling the DUP it's time to get back to work and tackle the cost of living crisis.
RT @SorchaEastwood: I have just had it. A DUP rep praising a warm bank. No discredit whatsoever to ppl trying to do good, decent things, but do the DUP know that they have the power to actually do something more meaningful so the public don't need to do warm banks? Sorry, I've lost all patience now
@Raewkrow Technically, we can be First Minister if we are the largest party: but can only be deputy First Minister if we are the largest Party in the next largest designation.
@Scottyb531 It would be. But so is direct rule.
If we want local accountability, we need devolution.
