Delighted I’ve been appointed as UTV’s Political Editor. Really looking forward to continuing to keep the viewing public up to date with the ever changing political picture here. My first - & biggest challenge - will be trying to fill the shoes of my friend & mentor @KenReid_utv

- DUP's Ian Paisley tells @BorisJohnson the NI Protocol has "zero support" from unionists & that in a divided society a solution that attracts the support of one side of the community cannot stand. "Like Brexit," @columeastwood shouts.
- .@naomi_long says to turn up, to sign in & take wages is a slap in the face for every family who struggles and every person sitting on a waiting list.
- BREAKING: Ian Paisley now listed on the Parliament website as an Independent. He is no longer a member of the DUP.
- New MLA @aislingreillysf giving the first full speech in Irish to the Assembly. Simultaneous translation is available.
- BREAK: @BorisJohnson says the govt will withdraw the double jobbing amendment in the House of Lords later today
- So as @KenReid_utv takes his leave from UTV today all I can say is thanks for the memories chum ❤️
- SDLP say if SFs leader is not going to be allowed to take part into todays meeting they will not be taking part either.
- Having just braved the weekly shop at my local supermarket, where some people seem unable or unwilling to follow basic social distancing, I really think the @niexecutive should consider making face masks compulsory- if only to give us the minimum of protection from one another.
- A quick personal note to say a very sincere thank you for all the lovely messages & congratulations I've received. I've been truly overwhelmed by it all & my phone is about to lie down under the pressure. It's another reminder for me that it is a privilege to be doing my job #utv
