Hi @bbc5live Why is Lucy Connolly and her nonsense about being “Keir Starmers political prisoner” even in the news never mind before a famine report about dying children? Our political system is separate from the judicial one. Worth pointing out in your report that she’s wrong?

My sisters death certificate. TB meningitis. Little treatment and no vaccine for TB in the early 50s caused so many premature deaths. That generation took the leap of faith and trust to vaccinate for societal health. It’s our turn now.

I’m not a republican. I want the courts to examine the case and the evidence and to make a judgment. I’m not sure why an elected rep would have a problem with that.

Honoured to support Dennis Hutchings today. A man of 80 years old, with severe heart and kidney problems, being dragged before the courts to appease Republicans. The same Republicans who are safe in the knowledge they will never be before the courts for heinous crimes.

Shortage of wood & production globally, exacerbated by the Ukraine war, and pallets have gone up in price by around 40%. Product costs increase to reflect that. What do we do here? Burn them 🤷🏼‍♀️

NI is my home. It’s a beautiful place. So many good people. But at times, like today, I do not like it at all. Doesn’t matter if it’s a UI, or a Union. This sectarian, partisan nonsense is never ending. Most of us just want a decent life, easiest way from A to B.

What has the White House become under this president? Sticking a middle finger up to Ireland, women, and anyone with any morals. But most of all, the disrespect shown to Nikita Hand.

Rory can’t win a golf tournament without some political rep leading the way in the most tedious he’s British our pride of Ulster crap. Every golf club member here is an Irish golfer. It was the Irish Open. Just let it go ffs.

So we all wasted our time last Thursday at the ballot box? Held to ransom by a shower. Shameful DUP. Shameful.

This is not a story about an MP & his family blagging a couple of fancy holidays! It’s not about the estimated £100k cost. It’s about what he was prepared to do for the fancy holidays. Lobby against a UN resolution for justice in Sri Lanka.

The blue pallets belong to CHEP. They don’t sell their pallets.

The AONTÚ bloke running in Belfast South has more posters on lampposts than he has expected votes.

Himself has been sent for. I’ve locked the doors and left the house. I’m so not going in there.
