It's great to be getting back to street visits after a post-election hiatus. It was good to be joined by @hilarybennmp at H2010. We had lots of pleasant conversations and picked up some casework. I'll be back again next week to do some more.

I am always inspired by the great businesses here in Northern Ireland. During my visit to Wrightbus today it was great to see the changes since I first came here in February. More staff, more orders and strong plans for future growth as they build the buses of the future.

A privilege to attend this evening’s superb performance of Agreement at @GateTheatreDub and to meet some of the cast. A marvellous depiction of the tireless and courageous negotiations by political leaders just over 26 years ago which resulted in the Good Friday Agreement.
