Paul Givan has been accused of 'grinning like a panto villain' and 'smiling like a Cheshire cat' throughout this Assembly session, by the SDLP's Matthew O'Toole and Cara Hunter respectively. Keep updated with Stormont live blog 👇 Belfast Telegraph belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…

A majority backed the no-confidence motion in Paul Givan He has disgraced his office but as predicted the DUP used their veto to block censure. But I'm pleased that the Assembly then backed an SDLP Opposition motion to make it easier to sanction rulebreaking ministers.

SDLP Leader Claire Hanna MP attended the inauguration of Uachtarán na hÉireann Catherine Connolly at Dublin Castle today. The Presidency is more than a symbol. It has the power to convene, to heal and to bring people together.

Ivana Bacik has called upon the Irish and British governments to set a 'clear timeline' for a referendum on Irish unity. Bacik said Labour’s goal is to build a 32 county republic 'including our new Irish, who have chosen to make Ireland their home' jrnl.ie/6875911

Ireland have won 100% of the matches played since Cather Connolly became Uachtarán na hÉireann. Coincidence? I think not

Getting ready for our public townhall meeting with Claire Hanna Thursday 27th of November, 6pm - 7pm at the Enniskillen Hotel. Everyone's welcome so come along and here about the SDLP's plans & ask questions.

I secured this review four years ago and am dismayed by the response. Change would have needed protection for existing licensees but the Minister has basically ruled out any change. So more pubs will shut, more drinking will happen at home and vested interests will be served.

Team SDLP was on doors in Enniskillen, inviting you all to our Townhall event next week, Thursday at 6pm. What a cold evening for it ❄️ Register here to get secure your seat 👇 eventbrite.co.uk/e/fermanagh-to…

We need to stop using the word iconic so flippantly

More and more people across this island are engaging in serious, hopeful conversations about a New Ireland. Today in Westminster, SDLP Leader Claire Hanna MP challenged the Prime Minister to recognise that momentum and to start preparing responsibly for constitutional change.

"What would you check first: their pulse, or their passport?" Seán Binder's trial started today in Lesvos, Greece. If convicted, he risks 20 years in prison for helping people at risk of drowning at sea. These baseless charges must be dropped. #HumanityMustWin

"Trains will be given a union flag inspired paint job as part of the govts nationalisation plan" Meanwhile the trains themselves are still owned by private rolling stock leasing companies which extract huge amounts of £ from the industry (& shovel it into offshore tax havens)

seeing a loading screen on a calculator actually made me laugh out loud

I'm so hyped
