    Today I wrote to @taylorswift13 to ask her to come and visit Derry during her trip to Ireland! We are proud to call Taylor a Derry Girl and are hugely excited to extend this invitation to her to help her trace her ancestral journey. C'mon let's see if we can make this happen!

    It was an honour to welcome Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza to the Guildhall this week and to hear more about his remarkable story documenting the war in Gaza. Motaz has done so much to raise awareness of the terrible atrocities taking place. Images by Molly Martin.

    My deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of veteran journalist and campaigner Nell McCafferty, who passed away today. Nell was a committed & passionate advocate for civil rights, and a strong voice for women everywhere - tinyurl.com/mr3msydm

    Delighted to inform Full Council that I am to light up the Council offices in rainbow colours next month to mark the 2nd anniversary of the death of young journalist Lyra McKee. I am also going to write to all other local Councils asking them to join in celebrating Lyra’s life.
