@SDLPlive has been leading on the proposal for reform of our institutions so our reps can finally get back and work for people! 🌹 We need to reform how Stormont works and ensure that no party can ever hold the north to ransom again!!🏛️

The @CommonsNIAC report aims to kickstart discussion about how we can make the Assembly work better, more sustainably and in our common interest. The current culture of stop-start-veto doesn’t deliver for people and it squanders the opportunity we voted for in the Agreement

This is the right decision from @columeastwood There is a job for Irish politicians to stand up for Gaza and make the case for a ceasefire in DC. However, nothing will be achieved by rubbing shoulders and partying with an American administration complicit with genocide.

What’s happening in Gaza is a genocide and the response of the international community is heinously deficient. I can’t in good conscience attend White House parties, rub shoulders and drink Guinness while the horrifying impacts of this brutal war continue.
