Today we brought the first substantive Assembly motion on NI re-entering the EU. Alliance abstained, after slurs and petty name calling. Disappointingly, barely half of SF MLAs bothered to vote for a new Ireland. We will keep making the case for a new Ireland back in Europe.

Funny story. I was booked to go on this programme and debate NI rejoining the EU with other psrtjes but Alliance Party pulled out and wouldn't out someone up so the whole thing was binned. Shame, but we will keep the making the case.

The SDLP's Claire Hanna says "these are very dark days and Gaza is a stain on the soul of humanity" PM Keir Starmer says we need to get back to a ceasefire and "desperately need more aid" #PMQs bbc.in/43uDLt2

SDLP Leader Claire Hanna challenged the PM on Gaza today, saying it’s shameful that Ms Rachel from YouTube has shown more moral clarity than world leaders. As families are killed and shelters bombed, Britain talks of war when it should be pushing for peace and justice.

Great afternoon with Ulster GAA in Westminster, advocating for Casement & for their incredible impact in communities. A good case made. Time for Governments in Belfast & London to get beyond the sound bites and get this done

We've created a post-conflict Shangri-La for people like Winkie Irvine. They draw down public money, enjoy access to powerful people and are protected from the full force of the law. Meanwhile my constituents live in fear of their organisations. It has to end.

The extraordinary and grotesque situation we have allowed and even facilitated in NI. Journalists routinely facing threats from illegal organisations whose members are rarely prosecuted but given political access and even public money. The Justice Minister needs to take action

In a recent editorial, Ehud Olmert, a former Prime Minister of Israel, referred to the current government as a “criminal gang” led by Benjamin Netanyahu. In a new Q. & A., Olmert explains why he thinks his country is committing war crimes. nyer.cm/GZxDc5R
