So today marks another milestone for me - 27 years sober. That’s 9862 days living one at a time without booze. A huge thank you to all the people who helped, directed and encouraged me along the way. How it started/How it’s going.

Just home from the Pat Finucane vigil. The dignity & dogged determination of this family 34 years on is an inspiration to all. All families like them deserve the truth and justice the seek. The Tories need to bin their bill of shame & stop trying to cover up their crimes.

Tomorrow we have a chance to build on the progress that was made in 2019 by voting for John Finucane in North Belfast. In the last election, less than 2,000 votes separated John from the DUP in North Belfast. Every vote will count. Vótáil John Finucane X

@RepRichardNeal To be fair Rich the Windsor Framework is only a smokescreen. The real issue for unionism is that it won’t serve in an assembly with a Sinn Féin First Minister. The only thing democratic about them is in their name. It’s time to move on without them.

So the story so far. Sinn Féin success is because nationalists have moved from Belfast to rural areas, and people angry at the DUP voted for Sinn Féin to punish the SDLP 🤔
