Food,heating & electricity bills spiralling, families & businesses being crippled & £300 million of public money is there to help them but can't be spent because there is no Executive.Honestly how can the DUP look people in the eye when they knock their door asking for their vote

Important thread about the Integrated Education Bill.
Do not believe the myths being peddled by those happy to have children forever educated apart.
Contact your MLA and let them know why creating a level playing field for integrated education matters.

It’s ridiculous that the development of the Maze Long Kesh site and potential it will open up is being missed.

I and I know other disabled people will identify with this so closely. I'm nearly always the person who has booked the table, holiday, hotel room etc and yet staff will try to ignore me and speak with my non-disabled husband. It bothers him every bit as it does me.

Twitter seems divided.
1 This is all about saving Donaldson from the embarrassment of seeing @SorchaEastwood win Lagan Valley.
2 The DUP is so short of talent that lots of its MPs will run in #AE22 to shore up its declining vote.
This may well mean that the @DUPOnline will accept a solution to the Protocol which they might not otherwise have accepted, in return for security of tenure at Westminster.
An absolute disgrace whatever the reason!

As a health worker, it is so good to see the conductor on Belfast Derry train politely asking the large number of people not wearing a mask to put one on. Well done Translink @Translink_NI @NicholaMallon

Alliance Executive Minister Naomi Long MLA first wrote to the Education Minister requesting ventilation measures for schools in Summer 2020. I have consistently called for ventilation and filtration devices since. @allianceparty

Strange that all the anti-vaxxers are the same people who were anti-lockdown when vaccines are the best way to prevent lockdowns.

And this is one of the many reasons why it is important to speak to people who draw on social care to get their views on Covid jabs for social care staff. The absence of their voice in the news coverage is scandalous and woeful journalism.

Translink has recently installed a number of digital timetable displays at bus stops. Some are fitted with a button which provides audio of the information on screen. Have you used these? Would you like to take part in their trial?
ALT Image shows a digital timetable on the bus stop at Park Avenue Belfast. There is a yellow button beneath the screen which triggers the audio announcements.

Aaaghgghgh Just heard an announcer on Channel 4 say 15 % of World population are 'living with disability'. Since we share the same planet then we are all 'living with disability' I however am a 'disabled person'. Get the language right for goodness sake.
Strange world: we are more worried about the prospect of fewer food choices in supermarkets than we are about cutting overseas aid to people who think themselves lucky to have one meal a day.

The @NewIrelandComm is beginning a conversation about what type of society we want to be, how we can create a truly shared New Ireland for everyone and include a wide range of different views & opinions.
The only path is through partnership, cooperation and reconciliation.

Why not close the street to vehicles, move tables and chairs onto the carriageway and leave the footway for pedestrians? @belfastcc @deptinfra @CommunitiesNI
An elderly resident of Windsor has died. If I met his friends or family, I would express my condolences, if his funeral came down my street, I would close the curtains out of respect.
But as none of these apply, I really don’t see why I should be expected to care that much.
Too many Unionist politicians are condemning street violence in one breath, and excusing it in the next. There are no excuses. Many things make me angry in life, but I do not throw petrol bombs at the police as a consequence.
Why the street rioting? Very simple: the more police resources are taken up maintaining public order on the streets, the fewer are available to combat drug dealing and other criminal activities which are the bread-and-butter of the paramilitaries.
