Absolutely bloody delighted that both Celebrity Traitors winners are donating their winnings to refugee charities! At a time when refugees are being demonised and scapegoated, it's brilliant to see compassion and humanity winning. Fair play! #CelebrityTraitors #TheTraitors – at Greencastle, Northern Ireland

A rather good scoop in tomorrow’s News Letter on what the DUP plans to do next. So, put the kettle on, get yourself a latte and settle down with a lentil Wellington.

This isn't just a missed meeting. It's a political stunt keeping NI in poverty. Young people emigrate for work and a better life, while older and disabled people are left behind. All because of political tantrums and bruised egos. Disgraceful! – at Greencastle, Northern Ireland

It is deeply frustrating that the NI executive will not be represented at the important meeting on economic growth with the PM tomorrow. I understand feelings are running high but it must be in the interests of the people of Northern Ireland that everyone gets round the table.

Anyone who's moving into the old Rexy Jack's site at @omniplexcinema in Omagh? My gut is telling me @SupermacsIRE, as they seem to be making noise to getting a presence. The Omniplex network would be a grest place to get their foot in the door. – at Greencastle, Northern Ireland

Disability is NOT a Halloween costume. But I'm a disabled cosplayer who incorporates my disability into costumes. So what's the difference? There's a fine line between representation and appropriation. And it matters. Watch to find out where that line is. – at Greencastle, Northern Ireland

Disability and chronic illness doesn't have an off-switch or big 'cure'. We have good days, where we can take on the world. That does come with a price. We crash and have bad days. Many of them. Miranda Hart is opening many people's eyes to that, so thank you. Solidarity ✊🏻 – at Greencastle, Northern Ireland
