But the Health Minister wants to spend more on it 😳

“The Provisional IRA, gets almost three-quarters of its funding from smuggling fuel into Northern Ireland.”
Fuel smuggling had a devastating impact on the environment, toxic sludge from the dye-removal process being dumped on land or in waterways.

Once again we see Israel under attack. It will always have the right to defend itself and should do so.

We stand with Israel 🇮🇱

I would ask anyone with information to contact them on 101 or via the confidential hotline.

Good opportunity in tonight’s adjournment debate to intervene on Minister Guy Opperman on the unacceptable insurance price hikes for young people.It’s time for a market review and for Gov to take steps to support young people as they seek to get on the road safely.

Great chat with Dawn McAvoy of Both Lives today ahead of the moves in Westminster to permit unsafe self-administered abortions right until birth.We must #StandForBoth .It’s time to create a UK“that values the life&health of every woman&unborn child,& pursues the wellbeing of both”

Jim Shannon hasn’t intervened in the adjournment debate but his DUP colleague Carla Lockhart MP has. Minister Guy Opperman welcomes her as a “very able replacement”.
