    Last time I tweeted this I got roundly criticised for some unknown reason, but my view hasn’t changed. Approved garages should be allowed to undertake MOTs in Northern Ireland. Tried to book an MOT today - September is nearest date. I need one for end of June!

    It appears the Belfast Telegraph may have entirely lost the plot in the last couple of weeks. The editor needs to get a grip on his staff. Very poor couple of weeks of journalism

    I’ve been asked lots of times by 6th formers or university students what is the best advice for getting into elected politics. I think the best advice I can give is, delete your social media
