Tomorrow is the day! We can finally pass our free period products bill and strike a huge win for equality. Let’s show what politics can achieve when people work together 💜

It’s good to talk. Really enjoyed the conversation last night at @IrelandsFuture . Lagan Valley was well represented too. Imagine a better future for all of our children and grandchildren!

Not every Lagan Valley MLA is as chaotic as my colleagues are making it seem. This week I’ve been busy: 🩸 Revising my period poverty legislation. 👮 Meeting police about unwanted flags. 🍺 Speaking to officials about licensing laws. And helping constituents too 🙂

Great to have my children, their husbands, wives, and kids around the table again. The first time in 5 years that we’ve spent NYE together and it’ll be a real celebration with the newly weds joining us too.

There are limited days left to get our #PeriodPovertyBill across the line in Stormont. A chance to demonstrate that politics here can work. It would be a damn shame if that work was blocked by any party collapsing power-sharing for a second time since 2017.

Action is the antidote to despair. I was glad to speak at @ProgPoliticsNI ’s #DUPendtheboycott protest earlier in Lisburn. People need MLAs to work for them, not wasters who refuse to do their job. When we worked together we delivered my Period Poverty Bill - it can be done!

Another fire at Hilden Mill this evening. What a terrible attack on our local built heritage. This area should be used for the benefit of our entire community. I’m calling on the owners to secure the site to prevent further incidents.

4yrs ago tonight we made history in Lagan Valley, against the odds. A few things have changed since then but I still believe we are all one community and as long as I have your trust to be MLA that's the vision for our shared home I'll keep fighting for. @SDLPlive

Are you sick of the drama? I know I am. People are going to suffer this winter but Tory and DUP politicians don’t seem to care. The SDLP want to get emergency help to those who need it right now and then plan for a new future, away from this chaos.
