    This is a deeply worrying development, given the precedent it may set. Under no circumstances should biological males be housed in female prisons. Protecting female-only spaces is non-negotiable, regardless of the context. Women’s safety and rights must always come first.

    The way @Nigel_Farage is shouted down, sneered & laughed at, and dismissed in the Commons is a symbolic example of how out of touch the governing classes are with the impacts of illegal & uncontrolled immigration. They’re in for a shock, the common-sense majority have had enough.

    'It's marvellous to see the levels of intellectual debate in this place...' Watch as Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage responds to a jibe about Vladimir Putin during a speech proposing why Britain should leave the ECHR.

    It’s ironic that the same Democrats that spent four years alleging Russian interference have been so quick to interfere with the Internal Market Bill. They seem to have no comprehension that there is a Unionist community in Northern Ireland or, better yet, they simply don’t care.

    As the IRA attempt daily to rewrite the history of the past, I’m sure they never thought they would find such a willing partner as the UK gov. The Northern Ireland Troubles Bill leaves those who defended us at the mercy of terrorists and their revisionism. Clonoe proves that.

    I’m sure you all feel great🙄 Everyone can stand around and clap each other on the back in the, ‘politically correct brigade’. How about getting on with the real issues affecting people such as tackling drugs, theft and crime?

    We're proud to say that this week our Police Service changed it's policy on uniform items. This means all officers have agency over their gender presentation. Men, women & those with non binary identities may wear either hat. A small but meaningful step forward for equality.

    The woke brigade are in overdrive. Imagine being lectured by Eoin Tennyson on language & slurs! Note how the media never ran those comments, perhaps it didn’t suit their agenda 🤔 This is another clear attempt to deflect from the crisis of illegal and uncontrolled immigration.

    Sinn Féin are the lapdogs and fanboys of many of the world’s global terror groups. Their attempt to recast themselves as anything else is fooling no one.

    So, Brandon Lewis is on the verge of cutting MLAs pay. I say get on with it. Though, if you think that the cutting of wages is going to bring this matter to a swift resolution, it proves you simple do not understand Unionist opposition to the Protocol. We won’t be bullied.

    At the core of the Belfast Agreement is the principle of cross community consent; a principle that was tossed in the dustbin by Europe and those involved in the design of the Protocol. They have played fast and loose with peace in Northern Ireland. #NorthernIreland
