    Anyone can be a victim of domestic or sexual violence and abuse, irrespective of age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or background. Men often not only find it harder to come forward, due to stigma, but to be taken seriously and access the support services they need.
    .@Justice_NI Minister @naomi_long & @healthdpt Minister Mike Nesbitt met with @CVOCNI Geraldine Hanna on Supporting Male Victims of Domestic Abuse Day to discuss the services required by male victims of domestic & sexual abuse.

    1. It wasn't frictionless re-entry, hence the heat shields 2. It wasn't "hand-knitted" code, but complex, cutting-edge maths & computing 3. It wasn't achieved by "can do" spirit, but years of planning by experts 4. The solution to frictionless trade does exist: it's called the EU
    "If they could use hand-knitted computer code to make a frictionless re-entry to Earth’s atmosphere in 1969, we can solve the problem of frictionless trade at the Northern Irish border" -- Boris Johnson in Monday's @Telegraph

    I have a letter from a Nigerian Prince thanking me for my kindness and assuring me he has $10,000,000 which he will transfer to me if I send my bank account details.

    How on earth can @DUPleader complain about the "pan-nationalist front" in North and South Belfast when they formed a pan-unionist coalition in North Belfast and Fermanagh South Tyrone? I mean, seriously? The total lack of self-awareness is astonishing.

    In the last 72 hours, I've been called a c*nt, a hateful sh*t, a t*rd, told my dad "should have pulled out" and now this ⬇️ The relentlessness of this squalid and misogynistic abuse on Twitter is genuinely appalling. However, it will not silence or deter me. Get a life, lads.

    "Nobody else has that." Well, you did, actually. Plus, the opt outs. But you binned it for Brexit. Go figure...

    🧵So, having become accustomed to seeing my posters burned on bonfires, I honestly thought nothing could shock me anymore. However, late last night I received photos of effigies of me, @moneillsf and @MaryLouMcDonald hanged on the bonfire at Glenfield in Carrickfergus. >

    Whenever the DUP are ready to apologise for Red Sky, NAMA, RHI, Brexit, overplaying their hand throughout the Withdrawal negotiations, trusting Boris, and collapsing the Assembly, we'll talk, Carla. Until then, focus on sorting the mess you created.

    Arlene Foster has no claim to speak on behalf of NI. She isn't First Minister & can only speak for the DUP. NI voters wanted to remain in the EU, including the customs union. I'd tag her in this but I don't want to bother the staffer who tweets for her. They've had a rough day.

    No, Sammy. You're the one who needs to build a bridge...and get over it. It's a nonsense project. We need investment in health, education and infrastructure not this giant unionist umbilical cord.

    These are "real law breakers", burning buses, terrorising passengers and attacking police. Let's focus on that and getting this stopped before someone loses their life.
    This is not protest. This is vandalism and attempted murder. These actions do not represent unionism or loyalism. They are an embarrassment to Northern Ireland and only serve to take the focus off the real law breakers in Sinn Fein. My thoughts are with the bus driver.

    NI Twitter: Sammy Wilson's sausage pics are the most embarrassing thing the DUP have done this week. Ian Paisley: Hold my beer....

    A few years back, during COVID, Laurence Fox tweeted about my appearance on Twitter, kicking off a week-long troll-fest of misogynistic abuse and bullying on my account. Good to see him exposed for who and what he is. #LongRunsTheFox as they say.

    Thread Thanks to all who expressed solidarity over the last few days. Your kindness is an antidote to the bile. I'm fortunate: I'm strong, with an amazing support network of people who love and respect me. Anyone who thinks bullying will break me clearly doesn't know me. >
