First time at Disney On Ice… £35 for this wand by the way 🙃

Took our daughter to post her letter to Santa. She proudly chose the postbox and popped it in with a big smile… 10 seconds later, absolute meltdown because she wanted the letter back. 🙃

This is nail on the head stuff. Letting Arlene become leader was always going to be a disaster (and no, that’s not hindsight – the day Nigel said he wasn’t running, I told another SpAd “we can’t let her do it, she’s a disaster”. He said “what do you mean?” and I replied “well, we

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.

Politics should be about stepping up when your community needs you and calling out serious problems in society. Alliance’s faux outrage at @JonBurrowsMLA is childish and desperate. They just can’t handle someone who tells the truth and asks the tough questions.

Belfast City Hall belongs to the people of Belfast. We register our children there, we get married there, we remember our fallen at the Cenotaph and we elect our representatives there. City Hall should never have a foreign flag raised above it, no matter which nation it may be.

Genuinely, the people of Belfast just want adults in City Hall delivering for the people they represent. A foreign flag over City Hall is political theatre and only serves to divide communities further.

I can’t believe there’s another 23 nights of this to go 🫣 #ElfOnTheShelf

I can’t believe this is a real tweet, and based on the engagement, a lot of people seem to agree with it. It’s one of the most blatantly racist things I’ve seen on this app directed at a very capable female MP/Deputy Speaker.

One of the most shameful moment in my time in Stormont to date was when @TGastonMLA raised this in the chamber and quite a few MLA’s laughed out loud. Hard working and modestly paid cleaners had to clear the mess up. Disrespectful.

I’ve no wish to engage in personal insults. I’ve a strong record of standing up for rank and file police officers. It’s sad that voicing objections to a proposal results in being accused of “insulting” them or being “dangerous” & “derogatory”. I’ll do my job professionally.

@ExBusinessman I wrote at the time that there would be enormous challenges-but hoped (rare for me) that new voices, vehicles and voters would emerge and that we’d find a new way of doing politics. What killed that hope, of course, was the self-serving ‘ourselves alone’ SF/DUP deal in 2007.

We’ve been telling our daughter how lucky she is this Christmas and how not all boys and girls get presents. She just looked at us and said, “But Santa delivers to all the boys and girls in the world.” 🥲 I wish that was true.

It’s happening… 😐😂

I wouldn’t trust the majority of Councillors in Belfast make me a cup of tea, never mind make financial decisions of this magnitude. This is an utterly disgraceful neglect of ratepayers’ money, with the Alliance Party’s fingerprints all over it… again.

This week the health secretary Wes Streeting said the BMA “are increasingly behaving in cartel-like behaviour, and they threaten not just the recovery of the NHS under this government, they threaten the future of the NHS, full stop” Meanwhile in Northern Ireland the BMA has:

GPs gathering at the plush Merchant Hotel to speak about how annoyed they are by the Health Ministers demands for them to meet targets, and suggesting moving to privatisation, is the epitome of tone deaf to public opinion.

'Don't tell me you don't want to be out on strike - because that is exactly where you are. Own it.' As resident doctors walk out again, @wesstreeting calls out the 'reprehensible and cartel-like behaviour' of their union.
