@ScudHussein @Richard_Ardvark @allianceparty I didn't, no. I said the processes needed to be speeded up, as people being suspended on full pay for upwards of 5 years with no resolution was adding insult to injury. I was not arguing for removing employment protections, but for speeding up the process.

@jockybelfast @Richard_Ardvark @allianceparty Only person jumping a bandwagon here is you, I'm afraid. The headline does not reflect what I actually said.

But knock yourself out pretending it does.

@Richard_Ardvark @allianceparty I literally just said it was misleading. People have employment rights: at no point did I advocate removing those.

RT @bbcnewsline: The NSPCC has said lessons must be learned from the murder of five-year-old Nadia Kalinowska. Many groups are now asking how it was able to happen, as @tv_KevinSharkey reports.

@MarkYoung23 @timhortonsuk My favourite. And @CllrMichaelLong is a fanatic. His excitement when they arrived here and he no longer had to wait on visits to Canada to sample their goods was off the scale.

RT @KateNicholl: The childcare system in Northern Ireland is in crisis.

It's critical that government – devolved or central - takes action to create a sustainable system.

That's why I took the opportunity to respond to @CommonsEd childcare & early years inquiry to ensure NI voices are heard.

@brendanjharkin Baffling. I send colleagues from the European Parliament photos of beaches in Donegal and they think I'm in the Carribean - Turquoise waters, white sands, blue skies.

Just as well the fact I'm wearing ALL my jumpers, coats and scarves to capture the photo isn't visible 🤣

@mgtruth @ElaineCrory @antisyzygy @joncoupland @NotaBot1976 @judybingham My mum used to iron socks and pants. I have never ironed either (and avoid ironing anything if I can get away with it). I view this as liberation.

That said, freshly ironed pants are my definition of a truly luxury item on a cold morning! 🤣

RT @StephenFarryMP: Great to see this vote in confidence from Government in the redevelopment of Queen's Parade/Marine Gardens and the wider regeneration of Bangor. Pleased to support this successful levelling-up bid.

RT @SorchaEastwood: It was lovely to welcome Mavoureen to Castle St today, wonderful to see another new business come to Lisburn!

A beautiful boutique specialising in formal gowns, occasion wear and mother of the bride outfits. They also have a rental option which is all about sustainable fashion!

Please read this thread from Natalie's brother, Brendan.

If you can help, please, come forward now. Natalie and her family deserve justice.

RT @BrendanArmagh: On 18/12/2022, before Christmas, my sister Natalie and her unborn son Dean was brutally taken from us.

DCI McGuinness, and his PSNI team, are keen to establish a picture Natalie’s social connections, particularly from those made through this platform and others.

@DavidRossiterNI @MartinMcRandal @AoifeKF @NDownAlliance @allianceparty @AndrewMuirNI @connieegan94 @StephenFarryMP Something I wrote to the Perm Sec of @deptinfra about before Christmas. Considering the cost and impact of fractures on the health service and people's lives, reviewing the rules on pavement gritting is essential.

Sadly, not a positive response...😞

RT @DavidRossiterNI: I enjoyed getting out and chatting to residents of Ardmore in Holywood this afternoon 💬💛

Usually I love doing this but with pavements not gritted I nearly fell on my bum several times!

Surely it's better to spend money on grit rather than treating falls in A&E?

RT @Kelmba: Deepest condolences to the family, friends and many colleagues of Prof Eileen Evason. Her work on welfare mitigations made life for many people in NI so much better. An inspiration who will be sadly missed.

RT @DavidFordxMLA: I don't remember the details of welfare benefits from Eileen's lectures 45+ years ago, but I do remember her passion and concern for those in need both then and since.
She was an inspiration.

RT @WAVETrauma: Sorry to hear about the death of Prof Eileen Evason. Her commitment to protecting victims & survivors of the Troubles during the period of welfare reform was reflected in her recommendations. Her work made a huge difference. She was a voice for the people.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-64349502
