So now that we've had two consecutive elections where the "others" have broke substantial new ground in NI politics, will we now move swiftly away from the "two communities" narrative and embrace the fact that NI is a diverse collection of minority groups working together?

For the avoidance of any doubt, this will have absolutely no affect on the legislative changes on marriage or decriminalisation from the 21st, unless an executive is formed on Monday. It is a stunt and nothing more

Far-right thugs and white supremacists will exploit any situation to suit their own ends. They will pit working class communities against each other to spread their vile ideology. Belfast won't stand for it, we are united against extremism and fascism.

@_chrisjones_ @belfastcc The council passed draft bylaws last year aimed at dealing with amplification in the city centre to try and manage this. They are now sitting with the department for Communities and we are chasing an update. Progress on this has been painfully slow.

The sheer scale of bigots & bots who attach themselves daily to posts like this shows us exactly why twitter simply can't survive in it's current form under the new owner. Having next to zero moderation of hate speech on your platform is terrible business practice.

We've had 40 odd years of DUP reps telling LGBTQ people we don't exist, common trope around biology offensive to anyone who doesn't fit binary prejudices. LGBTQ people exist Jonathan, our lives deserving of respect as any other. If you want to learn about us, try speaking to us.

Nicola Sturgeonโ€™s demise and sudden resignation should be a warning to all those politicians that pander to the woke agenda. The public are not fools, they see right through agendas and believe in biological facts that being a man is a man and a woman, a woman.

Sinn Fein now adopting a strategy of right-wing populism in response to declining support. It is hugely problematic for political parties to base their principles on opinion polls, as it suggests a serious lack of integrity and a willingness to compromise their values for votes.

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
