I’ve written to the Education Authority and the Education Minister about the shocking, long running failure to fix Rosetta Primary School’s unsafe hall and wider estate.

This isn’t just about one school, it's a wider failure to maintain school buildings across NI and a failure to invest.

Absolutely stunning winner. 9 days to Villa and to get back at it. We've made huge progress, need to maintain that.

Don't get ahead of yourself, Brian. Absolute horse shit tonight.

What a goal to win it for Newcastle, though.

Win tomorrow night and it's looking like the Champions League next season for United.

Liverpool are a mess. It's finally nice to see the roles slightly reversed.

Starmer is a lapdog for Trump & Netanyahu.

A human rights lawyer who is happy to wreck our civil liberties, international law and send us into another disastrous war in the Middle East.

Great day at Old Trafford, United win and this flag was the highlight.

Up the Reds.

What has also pleased me about the result from Gorton, is that the Monster Raving Looney Party candidate, Sir Oink a Lot got more votes than Ben Habib's Advance UK.

We are, but the Greens across the water are our sibling parties.

The Greens will win in Gorton and Denton and everyone will turn on them.

For the last 50 years the same handful of billionaires have had a stranglehold on the UK.

The Greens can end it.

So they and all their political parties and TV/Radio/Newspapers will attack them.

Christ, we could do it in Gorton.

Israel condemns hateful and racist greens.

Israel condemns hateful and racist greens.

For years we've seen an ongoing genocide.

It's been backed by right wing papers, the US President and by this Labour Government.

MLAs in line for a £14,000 per year pay rise. My question to those 90 MLAs do you actually think you are delivering for the public?

Most MLAs are nothing more than glorified councillors who pass meaningless motions. Meanwhile our infrastructure, health service, Lough Neagh etc are collapsing.

WWJD? Body slam and immigrant WWE style whilst wearing a MAGA hat.

It's always the ones you expect.

There is sunshine and blue skies in Belfast, after over 44 days of rain. Feels like Spring is trying to break through. Glorious.

Delighted my proposal for a city wide graffiti removal and power washing team in Belfast will become reality.

We've put a lot of work into the city centre in recent years, now it's time to expand this. Every neighborhood deserves cleaner greener streets.

We're seriously against this.

Final point regarding Jim Radcliffe this evening....

Tax the living daylights out of the billionaire elites. Robin Hood the absolute shit out of them.

Immigration has made Manchester Utd stronger & one of the biggest supported clubs on the planet.

Our tax dodging Billionaire part owner is wrong about the impact of immigration on the UK. It has made it stronger. He also has seemingly forgotten Britain's colonialism of half the planet at one stage

Manchester United fan here. Jim complains about the UK colonised by immigrants. Yet he cleared off to France for tax purposes.

Jim go and get stuffed, you poisonous prick.

Update on Boucher & Pitches Strategy last night at Council.

We don't have to pit music & sport against each other. As Greens we successfully argued for a deferral to give everyone a few weeks to get this right.

The bigger political parties are failing to deliver up Stormont & need a distraction.

Belfast City Council supported a Green Party Proposal to defer the Boucher Playing Fields decision and pitches strategy for a month. We need time to get right.

It has also formally agreed to suspend use on Twitter/X as it a threat to women and girls.

I voted in favour at the second vote, as it included getting a report back on a new potential site. Was being pragmatic and not to cut my nose off to spite my face.

I voted for the Alliance proposal first to reject it, in order to get a ready made back up ready to go. Stop covering for Sinn Fein.

You're probably right, but Bruno has carried us single handedly.

Bruno Fernandes is the greatest number 10 on the planet right now and the best Manchester United player of the past 2 decades.

Misunderstood by idiotic UK commentators, who think shouting and bullying team mates is a positive trait.

My King.
