For the first time, devolved parties across these islands have united behind a clear call to act on Gaza, led by the SDLP. Every day of silence from the UK Government costs lives.

At @UlsterUni last week, @MatthewOToole2 spoke about the crisis of accountability in NI politics. You don't have time to track everything happening at Stormont. But you should be able to trust those in power to deliver. We're committed to making sure words turn into action.

Winter Travel Warning Police are advising motorists to avoid travel on the Moyad Road and Kilkeel Road at Spelga Dam. This is due to hazardous conditions of ice and snow on the road causing vehicles to get stuck. Please seek an alternative route staying to main gritted roads.

Yesterday SDLP representatives met Ulster GAA to discuss the next steps for Casement Park. Even though the Euros will not be coming to Belfast, it's crucial that Casement is built, for Gaels across Ulster and for everyone in Belfast.

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Tomorrow we are launching our plan for childcare. 🫂 It's clear that our childcare model is broken, with families struggling to pay and businesses struggling to stay afloat. 🤝 Our Childcare Guarantee aims to halve childcare fees by 2030, providing families with stability.

Proud to stand with the #LadiesWithLetters yesterday in meeting the Health Minister and continuing calls for a statutory public inquiry into the cervical screening recall in the Southern Trust. This is the only way the full truth will be known.

Until we understand this take we will always struggle financially. I remember well a Health Permanent Secretary saying that we can afford a world class health service, we just can’t afford the current one

There are people asking if it’s safe to leave their homes. Is it safe to go to the shops? Is it safe to go out to the street with their children? No one should be made to feel like that. It has to stop & political leaders have to step up. @PaulDoherty___ | Belfast City Council
