‘DUP is the most distrusted (of the five parties) (67% distrust, 24% trust)’

Hmmmm, I wonder why..

A frequent question: can an executive solve it?
A better question: would having an executive have made a difference?
Answer to the second is unquestionably yes. First is becoming harder and harder to answer, the past 6 months have put us 3 years behind

Finally, 30% of respondents agreed that the NI Executive should not be established until the Protocol is scrapped altogether; 66% disagreed.

65% agree that the NI Executive should be fully functioning regardless of what happens with the Protocol. 32% disagree.

👇this is the reality of women’s lives in 2022.

It’s your grandmother, mum, daughter, sister, grand-daughter.

I feel ashamed that people are being treated like this.

To our politicians: what have you done today to help your constituents who are suffering like this?

Starmer: “The only time he ran in a competitve election he got trounced by the former Prime Minister, who herself got beaten by a lettuce.”

This came up on my feed. I suppose you'd say that's branching out. UDA coffee.

2 points here on this from Gavin Robinson today:
1) by the time devolution was restored the DUP had already agreed to an Irish Sea Border, so his excuse here is fallacious.
2) when has the DUP ever cared about something having support from all sections of the community?

Today, the Identity and Language (NI) Bill completed its passage through UK House of Commons. The bill will recognise, celebrate and protect Northern Ireland's rich tapestry of identities and cultures.

Police have asked the public not to call them this weekend if confronted by a scary ghoul at their door, it's just Jim Allister starting the election campaign early.

FACT: Before Kanye West was 'the face of Anti-Semitism,' he was one of the hip-hop faces of misogynoir, anti-Blackness, Trumpism, and slavery-denial.

And y'all still gave him contracts, documentaries, endorsements, clothing deals, and millions that became billions.

Every election.
