Naomi Long MLA @naomi_long@respublicae.eu

@mc39763951 I've been in government and made tough decisions: supporting the arts and creative industries isn't a soft option, it's vital to growing our economy.

Growing our economy is crucial to creating employment, alleviating poverty, and funding public services.

@Glynboyo So, let's not fund the arts...and let all the jobs and tourism which creative industries support wither away.

Sounds like a plan...🙄

@Billy_rfcc @ChrisMcCawNI @allianceparty Those who spread these lies? Nah. They're sad and misguided, but I'd not go that far...

@PeterAn96321133 @allianceparty @ChrisMcCawNI You realise that this is potentially defamatory? That means that the onus is on you to prove Chris said that in court?

Hint: you won't be able to, because it didn't happen.

@Darren_Black84 @_Willem_1702 @allianceparty @ChrisMcCawNI Because that is not the standard UK protocol for flying the Union Flag.

RT @News_Letter: The Alliance Party says it is running in 78 District Electoral Areas (DEA) out of 80, which it says is "the most of any party" - and possibly the most candidates it has fielded since the 1970s.

RT @1leekane: You know I love meeting dogs, but it's essential to always ask to say hello.

On #InternationalGuideDogDay guide dog owners across NI are asking the public to always ask before petting (& to never feed) to keep the dog & handler safe

@BillyCo34910860 @Twitter Where? The original post making the claim was deleted.

How could there be a piece of paper with it on? It didn't happen.

@BillyCo34910860 @Twitter That statement is from Chris McCaw. 🙄 Click on it.

It's a lie. He didn't say it.

@big_smicker He hasn't somewhat clarified. He has ouright denied it.

And if you take anything you read on social media at face value, you'll believe some terrible nonsense.
