It is National Police Memorial Day. In Northern Ireland policing has been uniquely dangerous & yet this is the only place in the UK where some in power say murdering an officer was justified. Let’s show our gratitude & respect to the RUC GC, PSNI and remember the fallen. #NMPD25

Christmas should be a time of joy for children across Northern Ireland but two-thirds of adults believe they face an increased risk of harm or abuse, and exposure to domestic violence, over the festive period. That's according to new figures released by the NSPCC.

It's vital that victims of Troubles-related sexual violence have the right to an investigation under the NI Troubles Bill. That's why I've tabled an amendment to the Bill to enshrine this right within the legislation. I urge MPs from across the House to back this amendment.

It’s worth adding that @JonBurrowsMLA has faced a coordinated trolling campaign on here and hasn’t blinked. Water off a duck’s back. Now that the @allianceparty are suddenly outraged by the hue of a photo, perhaps they could also condemn the abuse he’s been getting.

Legislative school unifom guidelines should bring clarity not vagueness. I’m still fighting for the black & white right for a pupil to wear an unbranded coat to & fro school - an issue parents raise. Proper forensic scrutiny on detail exposes loop holes & gets results.

Non fatal strangulation is not only a serious offence, but a red flag risk that the perpetrator may go on to murder a woman. Doug is absolutely right - these cases need to be heard at Crown Court so the full range of sentences is available.

A coroner has warned that anyone thinking of taking drugs this festive season is playing a dangerous game of “Russian roulette” after finding a young Belfast woman died of a lethal mix of alcohol, ketamine and cocaine. https://t.co/ohdu3Gh8q3

The @healthdpt is warning that flu cases have nearly doubled to 954 in the last week. @mikenesbittni is urging people to get the flu jab to protect themselves and others. It’s only the start of December and pressure is starting to build before the holidays.

In June this year a post was published on this platform about me that was highly defamatory (now deleted). Defamation proceedings have now commenced. Some will remember a former Sinn Fein press officer settled a defamation case I had taken last year. Actions have consequences.
