Anything less than Level 6 redress by @DWPgovuk for the #waspiwomen is unacceptable. I pay tribute to the women for their tenacity, for not 'going away'. Especially to those women no longer here, for whom the findings came too late. We will fight on for you.

Block a motorway and disrupt traffic, ambulances, fire engines and you are not touched. Stand silently with your own thoughts, on a public footpath, and you are arrested for anti-social behaviour. This is utterly absurd and I will be seeking answers on this.

The RUC upheld law & order, protected & saved lives with the consent & authority that a legal police force holds in a democracy. The IRA existed illegally & purely to maim, murder & destroy lives. No desperate republican narrative, out of any republican mouth, will change that.

The Irish Republic ignored its duty to Troubles victims, blocks calls to open its state & intelligence files to scrutiny. Irish courts upheld appeals of prominent republicans granting them 'right to silence'. It is time for the Irish Republic to deal with its own legacy issues.

A well co-ordinated and collective 'lapse in judgement' by the entire room that lasted way beyond a moment. Maybe cut your repertoire of 100 songs to 99 if there is a next time.

Proud to join MPs yesterday to call for fair & fast compensation for #WASPI women. Women had the goalposts changed without their knowledge at the last minute. DWP should work quickly with WASPI reps to ensure fair & fast compensation is paid to those affected as soon as possible.

We used our mandate and showed our compassion and responsibility by turning up and hammering this issue out day after day, week after week in Westminster. Sinn Fein use their mandate to not bother.

Alot of people are relieved the £600 fuel support payment will be made in January. We still need the DUP to end their boycott of the Executive & Assembly, its shameful their lack of compassion & responsibility for people who need them to do their jobs.

I missed the part where the ICJ called on Hamas to release the hostages. Can anyone point me to this part of those proceedings?

. @conormurphysf welcomes the help announced for families announced by the Treasury today, although adds “it’s a big belated” Says he will work with the Treasury to get clarity on how the £400 announced for households in GB can be paid to families here.

With the other hostages Hamas has also released 10 Thai men and 1 Filipino. Strange that nobody mentioned them before. But all human life is valuable #HostageRelease

Today at Westminster Abbey I paid my respects to our Glorious Dead on this Remembrance Day 2021. I laid a wreath at the Roll of Honour in memory of those who served in the Ulster Defence Regiment and the Royal Ulster Constabulary. They gave this country their lives and service.

Disgusting to hear Frank Lowenstein, former US Special Envoy for Middle East Peace on Newsnight last night effectively admitting that the US will allow Israel a few weeks of bombardment and bombing before reigning them in. Shows you the wanton disregard shown for Palestinians.

The NI Arts Council has announced a £10,000 grant for Musical Instruments for Bands! There's a limited pot of £200,000 so I want to give Strangford bands the best shot at securing these funds. My office is ready to assist with the application. The deadline is the 2nd of October.

239 men women & children being held as hostages by evil terrorists is not 'one side of an argument'. It's a reality. Israel is releasing a higher number of people than Hamas...did you question the value placed on life by Hamas? even though they place NO value on life whatsoever.

Waiting on a response from #actionaid whose every press release has failed to make a single mention of the mass rape, torture, murder & abduction of Israeli women and girls on October 7th. Do Israeli women & girls matter to #ActionAid ?

Remembering these 10 innocent men lined up and shot, including a teenager who cried out for his mother. The savages who committed this atrocity are akin to the Nazis who lined up Jews, Gypsies, women and children and shot them without mercy. Sheer depravity. Remember #Kingsmill

Inflicting sexual violence as a weapon of war against women and children is a war crime. Since when is capturing the terrorists responsible for it a war crime? appalling attitude and 'you're not even hiding it'.

Whilst welcoming the FAI's apology for this insulting and offensive behaviour, we know that we'll not see an end to this kind of republican outreach just as we wont see an end to Sinn Fein MPs celebrating and glorifying terrorists who murdered 6 month old baby girls.

Remember it didn't start with gas chambers; it started with ignorance, it started with denial, it started with people turning a blind eye to what was right under their nose. Then came the denials the gas chambers even existed.

Sorry, what’s the claim here exactly? That Al-Shifa hospital is a Hamas command and control centre because injured hostages were taken there for medical treatment? The presence of injured hostages definitely justifies Israel’s massacre of the hospital. Case closed.
