Mid Ulster
Joined November 2022
I am proud to have been selected for Mid Ulster. I intend to work for Mid Ulster and for its future. I hope this will encourage more young people to put their names forward. Moreover, I hope to reinvigorate unionism within the constituency with renewed energy and activism.

Mid & East Antrim Borough Council have used a Noise Abatement Notice to stop my constituent practicing his Lambeg Drum; he now faces a £5k if he drums. I’ve written to the Director of Environmental Services pressing for an immediate review of this action.

Very concerning to see anti-PSNI banners being held at the front of Queen’s, yet another example of the ongoing anti-PSNI campaign on campus. @QUBelfast

There are no, none, any, veterans protections in this @hilarybennmp bill. How can @AlistairCarns & @DanJarvisMBE stand over this travesty? @VeteransNi @niveteranscomm @RobinSwann_MP @BeattieDoug

The deal was agreed last month but received a mixed reaction from political parties, victims’ groups and veterans.

The case for the union in 3 minutes. I took an opportunity yesterday to argue why the union was better for our peace, prosperity, safety and our security. @uuponline

If it was the other way round and Jon told Paula to grow up, the Alliance Party would be howling from the rooftops about misogyny and whatever other mud they fancied slinging. If it wasn’t for double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all.
The comments by Paula Bradshaw MLA are typical of what I encounter from many Alliance MLA’s. I totally condemned the protest at the Long’s home. In trying to explain that I know how it feels to feel unsafe at home I was told to “Grow Up” by Ms Bradshaw. From Hansard 👇

This was sent to me by a student, it was attached to a fence outside the Sir David Keir Building at Queen’s. Utterly reprehensible. This is nothing short of intimidation toward Unionist students on campus. Such material has no place at Queen’s University.
That is a very odd follow from @QUBelfast on its instagram. I do wonder what the explanation behind this is.

Somebody is throwing the rattly out of the pram. I think they have only proven what I said in my earlier tweet. How predictable.
@JayBasra2 Our apologies Jay, we weren’t aware that the QUB young unionists society supported child abusers and genocide. This is deeply disturbing news, we hope @QUBelfast has adequate safeguarding measures in place.

What does my skin colour or someone else’s have to do with this? If you just see people just for their skin colour then there is something definitely wrong.
@JayBasra2 Did Israel stop their genocide against the Palestinian people today? I must have missed that headline. I love a brown man who does the dirty work for white Ulster men who will most likely call you a p@ki behind your back.

Choosing October 7th for this protest says a lot about the mentality behind it. It seems aimed more at grabbing headlines and stirring shock than making a genuine point. Especially disappointing given how close this is to where the vigil was held just last night.
🚨PROTEST IN LANYON NOW🚨 COME DOWN AND SUPPORT! 2 years into the genocide and QUB are still investing in the israeli war machine and lying about it! CUT TIES TO ISRAEL NOW
