The greyhound racing industry here is unregulated, unaccountable and on the run because they know the public are onto them. Where are the official stats for dogs killed and injured on the tracks in Northern Ireland? Why are the Alliance Party providing them cover?

While classrooms face cuts and children go hungry, Paul Givan jets off to Israel to tour schools in occupied territory. If you stand with apartheid, you can’t stand for education. If you side with oppression, you have no place in public office. #PaulGivanResign youtube.com/shorts/O7JsYxpuFP...

I've been speaking to the media today about the tragic story of Rosie the sighthound, who had to be put to sleep last year after suffering from an anxiety-induced stroke caused by fireworks. It's long past time the regulations around fireworks were looked at again.

Greyhound racing in Northern Ireland is a welfare crisis hiding in plain sight. No regulation. No oversight. No justice for the dogs harmed or discarded. I’ve submitted a motion to Belfast City Council to ban greyhound racing. 📢 Sign the petition: www.greenpartyni.org/ban_greyhoun... 📬

Why are the DUP and the TUV so obsessed with other people's genitals? It's weird, it's creepy and it needs to be called out.

The real reasons the DUP are spending so much time talking about useless culture wars is because they are 1. Terrified of the TUV and 2. Totally and utterly incompetent in government. The problem isn't pronouns, it's poverty, pollution, and power.

Good to see the UK government finally make the decision to recognise the state of Palestine 🇵🇸 However, it's frankly the bare minimum at a time when the UK still arms the genocidal Israeli government. There should be nothing short of a full arms embargo! #FreePalestine

The four UK Green Parties join Green Party Ireland's call for withdrawal of state broadcasters from Eurovision if Israel takes part. www.greenpartyni.org/uk_green_par...

Hearing local political reps spout their own ideas of the motive behind Charlie Kirks murder is galling and comes across so disingenuous, especially when no one has been caught or charged. Political violence in all its forms is terrifying, and I fear where the US is heading.

🌍 Great news for our communities in Ormiston, Balmoral, and Collin! At committee tonight, we agreed that by March 2026, 23k more households will have access to glass recycling in phase two of Belfast City Council's glass recycling expansion. Any questions, let me know 👇

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?

Exciting to visit the Strand Cinema today and see progress on its redevelopment 👏 Halfway there after major works (incl. 10 months of asbestos removal). Funded by: 💷 £4m Levelling Up 🏙 £1.8m Belfast City Council 🎟 £1m Lottery Heritage Fund A huge win for East Belfast! 🎥

SDLP & Alliance cruising around Lough Neagh filming “concern” videos… the same parties that pushed the Going for Growth disaster that destroyed it. Nothing says irony like arsonists turning up to watch the fire they lit.

NI’s self-proclaimed Christian politicians are tripping over themselves to block medical care for a few injured Gaza children, citing “protecting our own.” The same healthcare system they’ve gutted for decades. The hypocrisy of these jokers is staggering.

If it's not Drag Queens, then it's Trans people. If it's not Refugees, then it's someone else. The DUP will jump on every single culture war going, just to distract from the fact their Ministers are presiding over record levels of child poverty and a housing crisis.

Where's the concern from these folks about violence against women & girls? Where's the outrage or the protests when a woman is murdered by her partner? If only those expressing faux outrage actually got exercised about real issues, rather than drag queens reading story books 🙄

34 today, it has become a tradition to take the dog for a walk up Divis and the black mountain on my birthday. Good day for it! 🎂

Yet another spineless, morally bankrupt statement from Starmer The UK says it might recognise a Palestinian state, but only if Israel behaves? Pathetic Recognition should’ve happened long ago. Anything short of an arms embargo & full recognition is a betrayal of basic humanity.

Belfast Pride brings out the very best of our city, including the largest and most inclusive parade in our city 💪 Always happy to see our city hall dressed for the occasion 🏳️‍🌈👌

Uppa Pride! 🏳️‍🌈 Uppa Greens! 💚 Uppa Queers! 🏳️‍⚧️ Happy Pride, Belfast! 💪

Very positive move from the UK government, the NI assembly passed a joint Green Party/SF motion way back in 2012 to support lowering the voting age for our own elections. It's well past time for this change

A very welcome gesture. What happened to these kids is nothing short of disgraceful bigotry and sectarianism. Any adult who would use a child playing sport as a political football needs to give their ignorant head a wobble.

My own experience with bonfires isn't a good one for personal reasons, but I can still recognise there is good work being done across many bonfire sites to ensure they are as safe and respectful as possible. That fact is often lost in the discourse. 1/9

TUV: bravely fighting glass since 2025. Cllr. Anthony Flynn cuts through the manufactured outrage and exposes the hypocrisy. Turns out the only thing more fragile than a rainbow window… is the TUV. 🎥 Watch and enjoy. #Pride #Belfast #TUV #ManufacturedOutrage

Bonfires can bring communities together, but there’s nothing cultural about racism, sectarian threats, or putting people’s homes & health at risk. When bonfires are used to intimidate or target minorities, that isn’t tradition - it’s hate. Celebration is about respect, safety, & dignity for all.

The #LGBTQ+ window at City Hall is now an iconic feature said Cllr Flynn @antoflynnser.bsky.social . Its design incorporates powerful imagery and references that reflect key moments in the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights in #NorthernIreland follow @greenpartyni.org www.greenpartyni.org/cllr_anthony...

I'm glad we've secured additional funding tonight to address the key concerns of residents in our city. Street cleansing will see extra resources, along with a programme of anti-racism work and new funding to promote biodiversity in council parks and open spaces. Uppa Greens 💚

After attending Omagh Pride recently and finally getting to meet Mal O’Hara (who has long been one of my political inspirations) - I finally felt I had found my political home. 👍 So I’ve joined the @greenpartyni.org 💚

Great to see Ballymena come out in their thousands to support the very first pride march in the town, outnumbering the tiny amount of counter protesters gathered at the band stand 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💪

About 1 in 5 MLAs in Stormont are landlords. You can bet that has had a lot more of an impact on the provision of housing in places like Ballymena than immigration ever could. It's entirely in their interests to distract you from that reality.

Those still parroting "legitimate concerns" over immigration as a means to justify the violence on our streets need to have a look at themselves. Innocent families being targeted, members of communities burnt out because of the colour of their skin, this is racism. Own it.

After the horrendous scenes in Larne tonight, the communities minister is no longer fit for public office. It's time for Gordon Lyons to resign. www.greenpartyni.org/green_party_...

When an alleged assault by non-locals hits the news, Ballymena explodes - protests, violence, chaos. But when local men face charges for domestic violence, rape, or child abuse, where’s the outrage? Where are the crowds demanding justice for victims? No riots. No burning houses. No headlines. 1/2

Getting reports of Japanese knotweed growing in various areas across the Comber greenway. This has been reported to DfI over the past few weeks, who will be actioning as soon as possible. Invasive species are a huge problem. Always report Japanese knotweed for removal ASAP

Happy Pride Month from the Green Party in Northern Ireland! 🌈🏳️‍🌈 #PrideMonth #PrideMonth2025

Belfast celebrates the start of Pride Month with our recently unveiled LGBTQ stain glass window, celebrating the history of the queer community in NI. From discrimination to liberation, and we're not done yet 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💪

The unveiling of Belfast City Halls' newest stain glass window today, a window dedicated to the LGBTQ community in Belfast and NI. It features points in our communities history of struggle in the fight for rights. 1st proposed by Mary Ellen Campbell, a true stalwart. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I utterly condemn the attack that took place last night on Kincraig Avenue, this type of vile hate has absolutely no place in East Belfast. Any info please contact PSNI on 101 quoting ref number: 1846 20/05/25 www.psni.police.uk/latest-news/...

Proud to support the launch of Hosford Community Homes' new site on the Newtownards road. A community-led housing model helping people move from homelessness to safe, stable housing in East Belfast. Find out more - ebm.org.uk/hosford-comm...

It's safe to say the Rally for Trans rights vastly outnumbers the small number of counter protesters today in Belfast 🏳️‍⚧️💪

Today Gordon Downey was sentenced for subjecting me to over two years of homophobic abuse. The court has imposed a three year restraining order & a substantial fine for his hateful conduct. It’s so important we stand up to hate and I want the LGBTQ community to know that #LoveWins, always.

The Alliance Party and Sinn Fein have just passed a deeply anti-working class policy in Belfast in relation to Sunday trading. Ignoring unions and ignoring workers. Shame

Thanks to DfI for replacing some street trees along Wandsworth Road and the park area. A few street trees had to be removed recently due to roadworks and path obstructions, but thankfully, they've been replaced, and residents can continue to reap the benefits that street trees bring to their area 🌳

The book of condolence for Pope Francis will be available to sign during opening hours of the city hall (9.30am to 5pm Mon - Fri, 10am - 5pm Sat - Sun), closing Friday 2nd May. The book is located to the left-hand side beside the reception as you come in the front gates of the building.

It's good to see Scotland moving ahead with a bill to ban Greyhound racing. Greyhound racing is a cruel bloodsport that leads to unnecessary suffering, exploits animals for profit, and should also be banned in Northern Ireland once and for all. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My speech to council a few weeks ago talking about Trans day of Visibility. I suppose my comments are much more apt today in light of the supreme court's decision this week. Trans people exist in our society, their lives and experiences matter, and we need to consider that in the days ahead.

Difficult day today for our Trans siblings across the UK who will undoubtedly be feeling isolated & fearful for what comes next. We in the Queer community are no strangers to hardship & setbacks. We must continue to support each other & fight. Trans rights are human rights, today and every day 🏳️‍⚧️

The Rainbow Project's statement on the judgement today. We will continue doing everything we can to fight for the rights of trans people in Northern Ireland, and defend against any attempts to diminish or remove those rights. Please reach out if you need support.

Culture Night is coming back to Belfast – and it’s thanks to the Greens! We’re delighted to share that after a Green Party proposal, Belfast City Council has voted to bring back Culture Night in 2025 – with £150,000 secured through this year’s rates setting process. 1/5 #CultureNight2025

The DUP bringing outright Transphobic rhetoric into the Belfast City Council chamber last night shows just how far this vicious culture war against our Trans community has come, political representatives have a duty to moderate their language in public, because words matter in the public sphere
