@JamieBrysonCPNI I'll be attending the Euros no matter where they are!...and as it is clear there is no football ground big enough or a prospect of one being big enough it is clear Casement is the only option. Maybe turning down a stadium for all at the Maze was the wrong thing to do...

@cnocfola @CatharineHoey @BrandonLewis Yes, Kate supported Brexit, & she's making the point we didn't get brexit. Brexit isn't to blame for this, the protocol that makes different rules for us, than England, Scotland and Wales is. Of course the protocol was a concession to remain parties here,& the Irish government

@StephenNolan Why is it vaccine passport or a lockdown? Eastwood said he wouldn't like his elderly mum in a care home being treated by someone without a vaccine. Why? If she has the vaccine surely she is protected from serious illness. Getting a jab doesn't stop the spread!

@JamieBrysonCPNI The DUP strategy at present is bouncing us closer to a United Ireland. Even Sir Jeffery acknowledged this at the party conference. He said Stormont is the essential in protecting the union. The reverse of this surely is that the lack of it is more damaging to the union.
