RT @MensAdvisoryP: Last year, in NI, 6 men lost their lives to domestic abuse.

The abuse of men and of boys remains a hidden pain. Why do our MLAs and Depts turn away from it?

PSNI statistics and 25 yrs of MAP data show victims needing direct support.

When will their suffering count? https://t.co/C2Brap4eXb

@ExBusinessman @TrBrk @micky_murray We've had no engagement in either direction.

And it is a significant difference, not a pedantic one.

RT @JustinWelby: Jesus calls us to welcome the stranger. I urge the Government to reconsider much of the Illegal Migration Bill which fails to live up to our history, our moral responsibility and our political & international interests.

RT @BestForBritain: Baroness Kramer shares the story of her mother - a Jewish refugee who fell in love with a British officer. Her request for a visa was refused. She was smuggled to the UK two years later.

"She was a genuine refugee. This gov't would send her to Rwanda as an 'undesirable'." ~AA https://t.co/Wht9jwRiu7

@pruirwin2023 @ExBusinessman @TrBrk @micky_murray @TRPNI You might want to delete your defamatory accusations further up this chain. Ferring never at that time or since has sought to influence my views, Stephen's or those of the Party on *any* policy matter, nor did they do so.

Stating they did is false and potentially actionable.

@pruirwin2023 @ExBusinessman @TrBrk @micky_murray @TRPNI No. We received two donations (before my time as leader) and it was in support of our established position on Brexit. Those were declared on our website, if you wish to check.

@ExBusinessman @TrBrk @micky_murray By your own standards, you should now be blocked.

Alliance has not accepted any donations from Ferring for years, nor do donations influence policy.

Your conflation of their past support for our established position on Brexit and our position on trans issues ticks 1 to 4.

@pruirwin2023 @ExBusinessman @TrBrk @micky_murray All our large donors are published online and have been long before I changed the law in Westminster to make it a legal requirement.

We do not receive donations from @TRPNI: that is factually inaccurate.

@pruirwin2023 @ExBusinessman @TrBrk @micky_murray No. It isn't. And that statement is potentially defamatory.

We helped strengthen bonds and motivated one daughter to try new things.
She made these items of pottery in a course she signed up to with our support.

@alexnostromo @dustspeckgalaxy @niassembly @Justice_NI @allianceparty @News_Letter That's why a private conversation protection is needed.

You seem to be determined to twist the actual purpose and ignore that it does not change the offences that can be prosecuted, but widens the defence that can be used.

@alexnostromo @dustspeckgalaxy @niassembly @Justice_NI @allianceparty @News_Letter No-one has held any meeting with me about talking points?

I'm responding to you clearly, transparently, and honestly. If you choose to believe and imply otherwise, you're free to do so.

In turn, I'm free to disengage with someone who is impugning my integrity.

@alexnostromo @dustspeckgalaxy @niassembly @Justice_NI @allianceparty @News_Letter What you call "social crucifixion" is entirely separate to hate speech laws.

Trans inclusive people are also being abused, harassed, and smeared on here.

Neither is acceptable to me: I'd prefer civil exchange, which is nuanced and respectful.

@alexnostromo @dustspeckgalaxy @niassembly @Justice_NI @allianceparty @News_Letter It's not for me to judge whether offences have been committed: that's for police, PPS and courts.

However, the purpose of the change is not to extend the range of speech covered, but to protect private conversation.

Political speech is already protected in law.
