A resident spotted a young gull trapped on a bird house at Ward Park today. I waded out to free it, but sadly its leg was badly injured. Thanks to the quick response of the amazing @uspca.bsky.social team, the bird got urgent vet care in Belfast. 👉 Please keep an eye out for animals in distress.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

Reform UK say one thing to the public – but vote the complete opposite in Parliament! Whether it’s voting against more rights at work or wanting to privatise the NHS. While they spread division and hate, @greenparty.org.uk is offering real hope and real change 💚

Our billionaire king gets exemptions on capital gains tax, inheritance tax, corporation tax and more. Next week we're bringing a vote to end the 100% tax break he gets when buying property in Scotland. Power and privilege is no reason to avoid paying your fair share.

Northern Ireland is caught in a brutal cycle - poverty and division grow while elites and their political allies manipulate sectarian games to protect obscene wealth and unaccountable power. As they enrich themselves, local communities are left behind with broken promises and few opportunities.

“You're choosing to be complicit. You're choosing to step back while a crime is happening and do nothing about it and not take a principled stance.” Shared some thoughts on Trump’s state visit and “neutrality” re: the genocide in Gaza on @novaramedia.com last night 👇🏾

Privatised public services fail our communities. Public money lines shareholders’ pockets, services suffer, & staff are left behind. Green councillors Barry McKee & Lauren Kendall are leading the fight back demanding leisure services are brought back in-house, run for people, not for private profit.

Culture Night back this Friday 19th September! Green councillor Áine Groogan fought to ensure it returned by securing funding through Belfast City Council. youtube.com/shorts/9zChi61lMX...

Trump doesn’t just spread hate abroad - he emboldens it here. A government that bows to him, and to racism, invites division, violence, and emboldens the far-right on our streets. We’ve fought too hard for peace to let bullies and extremists through the door. #NoToTrump #PlanetNotTrump #StopTrump

This is thinly disguised homophobia by Farage. The same far-right figures who have spent years coming for my trans friends & colleagues are emboldened again against anything different from their "normal." Today and everyday I stand with the whole LGBTQIA+ community. Your struggle is my struggle.

Alliance say “stop stoking division” – but sectarianism still scars our society, hate crime is at record levels and racist attacks keep rising. After running the Justice Ministry 11 of the last 15 years, they’ve still failed to deliver Judge Marrinan’s tough hate crime reforms. 1/2

All avoidable injuries are bad, but context is essential. Alongside this story, it's surely essential to say that there were 133,000 car-related injuries in 2024 in the UK, including 1624 fatalities & 28k "serious" injuries. E-bikes aren't the major problem. Data: www.chas.co.uk/blog/uk-car-...

27 years of failing our schools—SEN support collapsing, classrooms overcrowded, teachers leaving. And the DUP? Obsessed with policing trans kids’ toilets. This isn’t policy, it’s wholesale bullying and a cheap distraction. We stand with trans kids. Always. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Violent mobs of racist scumbags attacking folks in the street in East Belfast and causing mayhem for weeks, and our 5 MLAs and local MP have gone missing. Where's the political leadership?! How long before someone is very seriously injured or killed by these thugs?

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history. And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

Build council homes. Treat people with dignity. The threat isn't the migrants - it's the wealth of the super rich. And the media outlets and the politicians who protect their power.

In my statement for @greenpartyni.org: "Nesbitt is clearly attempting to shore up conservative support within his own party and the media and is happy to throw transgender people under the bus for the ease of his political career. We don't need another review. We need healthcare."

Our Government should have no business meeting with an agent of genocide.

You may disagree with me on this... but I think both parties have a lot to answer for when it comes to the state of Lough Neagh. Their ministers were behind Going for Growth and both supported a (for show) motion against a public consultation on the NAP 👇 theearthscorr.substack.com/p/dup-and-si...

A message for Nigel Farage and Reform: We will hold you to account. They've taken at least £2.3m in oil and gas donations and their true agenda is serving the super rich. It's time for us all to challenge power & wealth and that massively includes Farage.

For 27 years, the SDLP, DUP, Sinn Féin, UUP and Alliance have sat back while Lough Neagh has been poisoned. Every one of them backed the so-called “Going for Growth” strategy, which turbo-charged industrial farming, and they allowed destructive sand dredging to continue. 1/6

👏 Scottish Greens bossing it!

Drug addiction & misuse is a health crisis. People seeking support deserve to be treated with empathy and support. Since opening in January, Scotland's first drug consumption centre in Glasgow has helped many stay safe and seek support.

Trigger warning. “In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.” Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

Great news for Belfast! 🌱 Belfast City Council has agreed to make an offer for the historic Assembly Rooms – and the Greens were key in making it happen. This is about protecting our heritage, putting people before speculation, and giving Belfast a future that values its past.

I thought I'd seen it all, but here's a far right grifter losing it because some people still make bread the way it's been done for literally thousands of years. These people are just so ridiculously fragile.

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

What we're dealing with is the results of collapsing Sure Start, punishing local austerity, an exodus from mainstream schools with no adequate funding of specialist settings, a mental health crisis that ballooned on their watch , and more. Not 'overdiagnosis'. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Online rumours only add to the pain - facts matter. Public bodies must step up and give honest answers about safety at large events. Drug testing at events is a no brainer. It’s time for real harm reduction.
