15 unions representing more than 173,000 public sector workers are taking industrial action today, in the biggest general strike in Northern Irish history. Radiography engineer Craig Gill told me they want the public and the media to hear the conditions they work in everyday.

Translink workers picketing outside the Europa Bus Station for fair pay. Transport workers took part in 4 days of industrial action in the weekends before Christmas over the same pay disputes.

Teachers and school staff from across Belfast picketing outside the Royal Belfast Academical Institution. Workers told me they were not only concerned about their own pay, but about how lack of funding for schools is impacting on the students.

If the "gag" isn't considered acceptable in front of Brianna Ghey's mother then our political and media class should be trying to figure out why it's acceptable at all.

People in the asylum system here are often unable to mark the month of Ramadan in a traditional way. Last night, our #KindEconomy community came together for Iftar, to provide just one night of normality and dignity for people forced to live in such an undignified situation.

When Israel bombed the first hospital in Gaza, the world wouldn’t believe it and Israel blamed a misfired rocket from Hamas… Israel has now destroyed all 36 hospitals in Gaza including its largest medical facility the al-Shifa Hospital… THIS IS A GENOCIDE...🇵🇸💔

Month after month, the world has watched as Israel treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its intent to physically destroy them.
