Yet another unspeakable antisemitic attack, this time in Australia. Eleven people have been murdered at an event marking the start of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. When will countries start of take the evil of antisemitism seriously?

Some good news for NI pet owners buying prescription meds from online GB co’s & are facing the Protocol cliff edge on Jan 1st. VetPetni will be dispensing meds to ensure continuation of supply. Their new site goes live on Monday. 👏 @petermartindup @CatharineHoey @JonBurrowsMLA

Praying that this is finally justice for Lisa and Dorrian family. 🙏
A man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Lisa Dorrian 20 years ago.

You should be ashamed of this post Séamas, just as you should be ashamed of YOUR role in this. You criticise and try to place blame on everyone but yourself, trying to deflect the attention away from the role you and your party played in this. Anyone with any sense knew that
Just come out of a very positive local meeting about supporting children and young people, to sadly see the chaos Loyalism and the far-right have once again inflicted on Belfast. They are yesterday’s men and women, who cannot accept the new, and pluralistic Belfast.

Yesterday I met with @NINCA_NI to discuss with them the issues facing patients trying to access Neurological services in NI. These include waiting lists & fragmented care. I fully support their #FightForNeuro campaign👍

Today at committee I raised the discontinuation of the supply of veterinary medicines to pet owners from GB to NI after 31st of Dec. This is an important issue & one that DAERA, DoH & the EU must start to work together on in order to find a solution. @DogsTrust

Stephen has done such a fantastic job raising awareness of #OvarianCancer. I will continue to do what I can to support his campaign.
@petermartindup Dear Peter thanks for your kind comments today & your question to @mikenesbittni I wish you had got a specific answer! It costs little to issue better #OvarianCancer GP guidance on diagnosis, prioritising the possibility of it & not IBS etc & faster pathways

Delighted to give my old Alma Mater, Ballyholme Primary, a tour of the @niassembly after they sang some Christmas songs for us. A special thanks to my friend the dFM @little_pengelly for hosting them (all) in her office - a new 1st I imagine 👍👍

No public services are ever “free” - their costs are borne through something called taxes.
Public transport should be free.

Sinn Fein, SDLP, Alliance, People Before Profit and the Green Party have serious questions to answer on this.
Belfast Council has revealed it has just £75,000 from its underspend to pay for a £1.1m fuel poverty fund. Seven weeks ago, it allocated £1.9m of an underspend for Irish signs across the city.

I know a fair amount about dogs now, due to a steep learning curve with Maxwell but I’m so glad I called in today to chat with @CatsProtection about our other four legged friends. Plus I got a picture with an enormous🐈 👉What is now clear is our cats do need better protection

A lack of justice for victims, a lack of protection for veterans. Meanwhile the Irish Republic cautions the Government against amendments to legacy legislation. @GRobinsonDUP

Contact your MLAs & MPs. Ask them to question where funding to the womens sector here goes & why they unprofessionally call women with protected views fascists! The womens sector here do some great work but when they include men they are not a womens organisation.
We had the spirit of Mussolini conjured up this week in a tribunal and here's an example of another publicly funded body calling women fascists. It's time for Stormont to look at voluntary bodies and how they respond to women speaking. @petermartindup. Contact your reps.
