RT @C_Fitz_: Folks, if anyone is looking to donate £ for Christmas can you please get in touch? St. Patrick's have 180+ children on the list & are really struggling to meet that demand - I am trying to help fill the gap! #ChristmasHelp

RT @ShellKell00: A really fantastic afternoon at the Bomoko Raswa Christmas Party this afternoon, with a guest appearance from Santa and the most amazing home made food ❤️ Wonderful to meet so many courageous, resilient women and families who have made their home in Belfast.

@jemthebest196 @Bivver5 @80_mcswan @allianceparty @StephenFarryMP Catch a grip, Jemima. The EU and ourselves aren't assisting Republican triumphalism.

This kind of nonsense undermines any genuine issue you might have regarding how some people are behaving.

@Steven_OConnor1 @irish_news @ClaireHanna @moneillsf @BeattieDoug @RobbieButlerMLA @StephenFarryMP @J_Donaldson_MP @gordonlyons1 Except that's also not true. I asked for the salaries to be cut, remember.

I'll take my share of the pain, as my constituents can't avoid it; however, I'll not be taking any blame for this mess.

We didn't collapse the institutions: we never have.

@PCeee63 @Steven_OConnor1 @irish_news @ClaireHanna @moneillsf @BeattieDoug @RobbieButlerMLA @StephenFarryMP @J_Donaldson_MP @gordonlyons1 Yes, I'd written to him weeks ago about that and @StephenFarryMP raised it when they met in Parliament a few weeks ago.

@GreerPetrr You've taken since July to come up with that zinger and didn't even manage to spell it properly?

Yeah, I'm the joke...🙄

RT @PatriciaOLynn: This winter my office asked secondary school students across North Antrim to send us their ‘Democratic Wish-lists’ for 2023.

@JohnMHyland_ and I had a great time adjudicating the winner.

Well done to Fauinene McErlane from @stlouisgrammar who is our worthy winner!

1/2

@GarrettSullivan @timmckane @MrRCain27 Already raised reform with him: wrote to him on his election as PM and @StephenFarryMP also raised it when they met a few weeks ago.

@stanley3319207 @mandy_mcauley @j_oconnor37 @chhcalling There isn't an Executive: the DUP won't let us form one.

@FionaQuigs @ClaireHanna @moneillsf And thatis what we were doing speaking to the PM last night.

Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

@wilsondan @timmckane @MrRCain27 It's genuinely awful.

@Steven_OConnor1 @irish_news @ClaireHanna @moneillsf @BeattieDoug @RobbieButlerMLA @StephenFarryMP @J_Donaldson_MP @gordonlyons1 Condescending and insulting.

Now you're accusing me of making things up.

I get why people are frustrated, but it's not my job to absorb people's misidrected anger: I didn't cause this mess. Take it up with those who did.

You can read the story for yourself re where we're at.

@jumpingjimmy85 @dmcbfs Not really. Some might have other heating - electric and so on.

It's really very messy.

@GarethBurns18 @jameshenryclow @timmckane The Speaker only allows debate in the Chamber. It'll be a lot of hot air without Ministers and legislation tbh. It'd be a start but we need to go further. Another patch-up isn't good enough.

@Chris74747755 @rava_ian @BBCRichardM Exactly. Not unsubstantiated but from the people actually being asked to deliver them. They said it could take until June to fully roll out.

PM hasn't explained how they'll be paid or how quickly.

We were also told they'd be in people's accounts by end of Nov? Were they?

@wilsondan @timmckane @MrRCain27 Yep. You can check on the Assembly website how much.

@Steven_OConnor1 @irish_news @ClaireHanna @moneillsf @BeattieDoug @RobbieButlerMLA @StephenFarryMP @J_Donaldson_MP @gordonlyons1 Steven, if you're here to engage in name-calling, go find a playground and knock yourself out.

He is, as you know rightly, in negotiations with the EU: that's urgent for political & economic stability. And he could okay energy payments: they've been at this since Oct, remember.

@wilsondan @timmckane @MrRCain27 I can and do communicate that anger, but my job is also to communicate solutions that might actually work; that's what we were doing last night.

Snubbing him or being rude won't win us any influence about how he can help fix this mess.

You need to take this up with the DUP.
