2/2 No independent EPA. Lots of talk of consultation when we need urgent enforcement. Language is designed to confuse the public into thinking Stormont is delivering on the long-term recovery of the Lough. Raising awareness, training etc, it's all blah blah blah.

Huge credit to the Greens in the South for almost single handedly driving this forward.

In 1977, after the National Front terrorised black and asian communities,the Anti Nazi League was formed along with Rock Against Racism which 100,000 white, black and asian Britons attended. It's time sports figures, entertainment, music and industry figures did the same.

The SDLP & Green Party have called for an emergency meeting of Belfast City council to take place tomorrow evening.

🚨❗️Belfast disorder: "This was NOT a protest. You don't come to a protest wearing a balaclava." 🗣Green Party NI Cllr Cllr Anthony Flynn speaks to our Chief Reporter James as Green and The SDLP Councillors call an emergency council meeting tonight at City Hall. 🎤Mr Flynn

There is a housing shortage, but its not linked to migration. It's linked to not enough houses being built for decades. William Crawley

26 years after the Good Friday Agreement, paramilitarism should have completely left the stage, so why are political leaders now utilising their "influence" in communities? Why is it those terror groups still seem to have an active role according to local political reps? Shameful

In March 2022 the Executive delivered light touch regulation of the private rented sector. In July 2024 average rent surpasses £1000 per month in Belfast. The exec response ❌ no further regulation 🏡 funding for ONLY 500 social homes Who created the housing crises?

Huge turnout for the anti-racist counter protest to the far-right in Belfast today! This is our city, fascism has no place in Belfast 👏 No Pasarán! 💪💪

Belfast Restaurant Week. 7 - 13 October 2024. belfastrestaurantweek.org #BRW2024

Programme for Government in Wales was published 35 days after the 2021 Election. Programme for Government in Scotland was published 119 days after the 2021 Election. NI Executive was reformed 198 days ago.

Contrast Belfast & other UK cities, like Liverpool that have devolved transport powers. We can't even have a conversation around devolving transport powers in Belfast, as SF/DUP didn't fancy it. Next time you hear them complain about public transport, remind them of this.

NI Executive got back together 200 days ago and still no Programme for Government. Meanwhile your MLAs are on summer leave, whilst on a minimum of £52.5k per year. Public services broken, Lough Neagh dying. The Stormont Executive is a public health risk to us all.

Sinn Fein seem to be continuing their long tradition of talking out of both sides of their mouths on LGBTQ issues.. Waving pride flags for the photo ops, only to throw us under the bus when it suits. Shameless.

It’s fair to ask these questions. Sf have had Ministers since 1998. How many have directly funded lgbtq orgs? (bar the msm blood ban) What have they achieved for lgbtq people with power since 98? Where is the strategy promised since 2007? belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…

The politics of populism leads Sinn Fein Northern Ireland taking opposite views either side of the border they claim doesn't exist, 26 years of dropping LGBTQ rights when it suits and delivering next to nothing for our community.

there is not a bad day in this world that Translink can't make worse
