"Sadly, in recent months, we've seen politicians scapegoat marginalised groups as a form of distraction politics. It's our duty to correct these false narratives and focus on the genuine issues affecting constituencies, such as health care and social housing," - @eointennyson.bsky.social

The scale of suffering and bloodshed in Gaza is intolerable. Alongside party leaders from across the UK, I have written to the Prime Minister demanding immediate action. Parliament must be recalled to end arms sales, introduce sanctions and uphold international law.

"Allowing injured Palestinian children to come to NI for medical treatment is both the right and humane thing to do. “We wouldn’t wish the horrors we've witnessed in Gaza on anyone, and the international community must unite in this time of emergency,” says @paulaballiance.bsky.social

“The Maze Long Kesh site remains a huge economic and social opportunity for NI, but the DUP and Sinn Féin continue to block development. This deadlock is disappointing the whole community. It's time the First Ministers agreed on a plan to unlock its potential," says David Honeyford MLA.

Advances in technology & AI have led to a massive increase in image-based sexual abuse and the impact on victims is devastating. That's why I'm taking steps to criminalise sexually explicit deepfakes.

Alliance continues to prioritise animal welfare. 🐶 🐈 That's why we're progressing the ban on import of pets like dogs with cropped ears and declawed cats. Animal cruelty has no place in our society.

Nuala McAllister MLA urges Minister to get round the table with GPs to ensure delivery of services to public. Read more here: www.allianceparty.org/mcalli...

Civic Forum can be a vital tool to engage society and shape policy, says @scdicksonmla.bsky.social. Read more here: www.allianceparty.org/civic_...

Paramilitaries are criminal gangs and shouldn't be negotiated with or offered incentives to stay out of our communities, says Nuala McAllister MLA. The UK & Irish governments must remind these illegal groups that if they don't disband, they'll face the full consequences of the law.

Run-down buildings are a blight on our neighbourhoods. 🏘️ Minister @AndrewMuirNI has introduced a Bill to give Councils more powers to take action. 🛠️

“It will mean victims are aware this is being taken seriously…and give them confidence when they report a spiking incident, it will be taken seriously,” says @naomilong.bsky.social about her new anti-spiking legislation.

Both the Assembly and Executive agree that the PSNI needs investment. That's why it’s time for the PSNI's recovery plan to be fully funded so we can put more police officers on our streets.

“Police officers demonstrate remarkable courage daily & it's unacceptable for them to endure abuse while doing their job.” Justice Minister @naomilong.bsky.social spoke during the NI Police Federation's campaign launch 'Let Them Protect', aiming to bring awareness of attacks on the PSNI.

The DUP and Sinn Féin's coercive control over government is the main reason NI hasn't had an Executive for around 40% of the time. We need to reform our institutions to prevent future crises, ensuring that those who genuinely want to deliver can do so. -@eointennyson.bsky.social .

@connieegan.bsky.social welcomes campaign launch raising awareness of attacks on police officers in the line of duty. Read more here: www.allianceparty.org/egan_w...

Alliance’s @michelleguy.bsky.social tells of her shock at being diagnosed with cervical cancer despite no symptoms. Michelle is urging women to be screened as part of #CervicalScreeningAwarenessWeek ‘Cervical screening saved my life,' says MLA www.bbc.com/news/article...

We are saddened by the news and images coming out of various towns and areas in recent days. If you are a victim of hate crime, please know there is support for you via Victim Support NI's (@VictimSupportNI) Hate Crime Advocacy Service (@HCASNI).

I’ve met with newcomers to Ballymena and I’ve met with people who have lived here for decades. Our health and social care sector and our agrifood sector would collapse without migration. Where there are concerns, let’s address them compassion, not labelling a human being ‘illegal’.

The DUP, Sinn Féin and the UUP wilfully voted to sign the death warrant for Lough Neagh, says @⁨eointennyson.bsky.social.

Today's deal is a step in the right direction to reduce the barriers and tensions created by Brexit. Labour must be more ambitious and seek to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union to turbocharge growth and remove Brexit bureaucracy. @allianceparty.bsky.social

We cannot keep lumbering young people with past divisions, says @paulaballiance.bsky.social. See more here: www.allianceparty.org/we_can...

Alliance will keep fighting against trade deals that seek to undercut our farmers with cheap imports from the U.S. or elsewhere. @eointennyson.bsky.social & @andrewmuirni.bsky.social outline how we're sticking up for farmers & ensuring it's sustainable for the future at this years #BalmoralShow. 🚜🐮

1 in 5 people experience mental health issues in NI. It’s time for proper Investment in mental health services. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

No one should face discrimination because of who they are or who they love. It's time for the Communities Minister to deliver the LGBTQI Strategy, and for all parties to unite against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.

Sinn Féin's Infrastructure Minister said NI Water is "fit for purpose." Yet underinvestment is causing sewage pollution, blocking housebuilding and stifling economic growth. We need to overhaul NI Water and fund waste water infrastructure properly.

Removal of nursing provision in special schools simply unacceptable, says Nick Mathison MLA. Read more here: www.allianceparty.org/remova...

Delighted that council agreed to bringing back Culture Night #culturenightbelfast

NI has seven new official bathing waters. 🏊 🌊 @connieegan.bsky.social and @andyofalliance.bsky.social have welcomed the move from Alliance Minister @andrewmuirni.bsky.social and inclusion of swimming spots in North and South Down.

School uniform costs sat on the desks of successive Sinn Féin & DUP Education Ministers for years. Rushing legislation with limited scrutiny won't deliver real change. Parents want to see a bill which makes a difference to the money in their pockets, says Nick Mathison MLA.

You don’t sell out children’s safety for anything, least of all Trump, says @sorchaeastwood.bsky.social. Read more here: www.allianceparty.org/you_do...

Support for Integrated Education is consistently over 60%. It’s time for political parties to stop blocking progress and let our children be educated together.

“I’ll call it for what it is. It’s rural arson, and it needs to stop,” says @andrewmuirni.bsky.social. The recent fires in our rural areas are devastating the environment and endangering lives. Those intentionally setting fires in these areas must be held accountable for their actions.

The safety of our young people online and the protection of our democracy should be top of the UK Gov's priority list. Using the slashing of digital services tax for US tech giants as a bargaining chip for tariff reductions remains reckless and irresponsible. @sorchaeastwood.bsky.social

Nick Mathison MLA expresses concern at staffing levels in EA SEN Transitions Service. Read more here: www.allianceparty.org/mathis...

"A tragedy will happen." As someone who works in the Mournes, it's saddening to see the environment you love being destroyed, says @andyofalliance.bsky.social.

Social media is fuelling hate, violence and extremism. That's why @sorchaeastwood.bsky.social has tabled a Westminster debate calling on the UK Government to act now to protect our democracy and future generations.

The DUP’s Sammy Wilson said he admires Trump for introducing tariffs that could cost more than 25,000 UK jobs. Alliance will always stand up for jobs, investment and our economy.

Education Minister must adopt new approach to integrated education, says @michelleguy.bsky.social. Read more here: www.allianceparty.org/educat...

Billionaires aren't paying their fair share. So instead of targeting the most vulnerable through draconian welfare cuts, we're calling on the UK government to introduce a wealth tax on the super-rich, reverse their punitive cuts and urgently introduce anti-poverty measures.
