Happy anniversary to Duncairn Arts

Have had many a great night here! From 50 and 100, Mick Flannery repeatedly. Sunday sessions brunch and meetings, course and events.

It's a key institution helping arts and cultural regeneration of North Belfast.

Sending love and solidarity across the Irish Sea to my siblings across England today.

Good luck to Zoë Garbett in the London Mayoral Election and to all Greens standing in 107 local authorities having elections.

Belfast had less than 2 miles of segregated cycle lanes in 2019. Still the same.
Transport powers are controlled by the Department of Infrastructure, despite some of us arguing they should be devolved like every other city our size in Western Europe.

Now would you look at that.....

Proud to have joined my colleagues on this private members business yesterday.

🗳️ TODAY IS THE DAY! DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

💚Vote for Green Mayor of London Zoë Garbett
💚Vote for your Green Party constituency candidate 
💚Vote for The Green Party 

🏘️ London needs a change. The time is now.

#VoteGreen

Looks like a fantastic event. I will be in Dublin but wish it every success and can't wait to hear some of Maurice's ideas.

Safe access zones today reaches its 9th stage (Seanad 4th stage) of 11.

Green MLAs delivered it a Stormont. Gillian Mackay MSP is working for the same in Scotland and cross party support will ensure it happens in the Republic.

This is an opportunity for the new DAERA to really break from the precedent set by his forerunner.

Northern Ireland environment metrics are;
- 12th worst place for biodiversity loss
- emits highest per capita emissions in UK
- 0 of 495 waterways meet 'good' standard

The obscene & immoral Legacy Act comes into force at midnight. It's an absolute insult to those who died in the Troubles. Every political party & victims' group in NI opposes it. Yet the British Government carries on regardless. They are literally murdering justice.
