NI Executive proposal - £150,000 for Irish Language signs at our newest transport hub & £36million on football stadiums!

Guess which decision the #DUP have a problem with and they claim it is the cost they have an issue with?? Also, the minister went on solo run without getting sign off from the Executive!

"DUP MP defends the Latin Mass…"

Ian Paisley must be turning in his grave.

Relax the constraints of fear and orthodoxy and political Unionism goes to pieces… – Slugger O'Toole https://sluggerotoole.com/2024/11/15/relax-the-constraints-of-fear-and-orthodoxy-and-political-unionism-goes-to-pieces/

First Minister Michelle O'Neill has arrived at the Cenotaph at Belfast city hall for the official Remembrance Ceremony.

I have to say, I think that she is doing the right thing here. Somebody has to try to reach across the sectarian divide and it sure as hell ain't going to be the DUP.

Edwin Poots:

"Unionists 'need to reach out’ to other communities"

For the former leader of a political party 'solely' motivated by sectarian identity politics and the demeaning and othering of other communities this is a very strange thing to say.

As well all or the vast majority of the racist attacks against other communities in NI recently have been carried out by his people.

So how does that work out?

No Paisley in Nothing Ireland politics for the first time since 1970.

That is seismic and transformational. Plus the #DUP have went from eight to five seats. Bad night for #Unionism.

No Allister in #Stormont - should work slighty better with him out of the way!

No Paisley in #Westminster - the expenses system breathes a sigh of relief!

Unfortunately, Allister is now in #Westminster Sorry lads in the House of Commons - you have to suffer him now too.

Stolen from the other place - but it is too good not to toot & share. Well said Gary Neville (even though you're Man U)

Remember this when you are voting tomorrow. #NI remember this is the party that the #DUP helped prop up!

They are not in this for our benefit!

Get them out...as many as possible! #ge2024

Last week was Former #DUP FM Peter Robinson which means that panic is setting in.

So what is going on within the #DUP that Former FM Arlene Foster has been wheeled out to give her two pennies worth. (That should get plenty of people's backs up considering her crocodile comment) #ge2024

@harriettmb

I will mainly saving the popcorn on election night for the #Tories and #DUP losses if I am honest. Hoping the #SNP do well in Scotland to give their calls for independence a nice boost.

If the General Election vote was PR, I would get more enthusiastic about the smaller parties in England but as it FPTP, I think it really does have to be hold your nose and vote Labour unfortunately.

However as we are NI, it doesn't matter who we vote for it will no impact on the outcome.

Heterosexual Men being Heterosexual Men is it?
And their anti-Feminist partners covering for them perhaps?
But oh, it's the Queers who are the danger apparently?

This morning I feel shame and disgust at what the 'so-called' sovereign parliament in Westminster passed into law last night - the Rwanda Bill. This is the parliament that the #DUP want us to be part of!

What the hell is wrong with them? It is an inhumane piece of legislation that was created as distraction by the human haystack to save his ass, carried on by a weak man who isn't a human being never mind a Prime Minister.
