Actor James Martin welcomed me into his home for a great chat about Good Relations Week. The #GRW2025 ambassador spoke about reaching out to different people and communities. And focus on what you can do rather than what you can’t. Lessons for us all! www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/...

Doing an unscientific survey about where you get your news?!What tv news and programmes do you watch? What radio station, programmes, presenters do you listen to? Which podcasts do you listen to? Which news websites and papers do you read? Do you pay for media outlet subscriptions?

#WIM25 at QUB on November 18! Get your tickets before they are gone! Don’t say I didn’t warn ye lol www.wimbelfast.com/voices/get-t...

Claims that the UK could leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) without breaching the 1998 Good Friday Agreement (GFA) are “not credible”, a new report has concluded. www.irishlegal.com/articles/uk-...

It’s been fascinating watching them reveal themselves one at a time. The shame has been taken out of racism. It was always there. They are just emboldened but need to know they will never win. Most people are not hateful maniacs and racist freaks. Our diversity is our strength.✌🏻

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, scholars' association says www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Immigration is NOT the number one political issue in the north/NI. 3% fgs! Health, poverty, housing, economic opportunities, the list goes on…. Don’t mistake a minority of racists and victims of right wing propaganda and dis/misinformation for most people.

Hello. Anyone got top tips of places for garden storage? A shed but not necessarily a shed - one of those large storage cupboard things for a mower and bits. #askbluesky #belfast

Positive news flowing from a challenging episode!👏🏻I hear the vibe today was brilliant. Well done Cricket Ireland🏏 150+ young people from Belfast, the North West, and Donegal came together today at the Cricket Connects Camp, hosted by Cricket Ireland at the Civil Service Cricket Club, Stormont.

Minimal moral integrity requires that if we think something is wrong when they do it, it's wrong when we do it. #NoamChomsky

It’s my late nana’s birthday today. Alice was a Millie (doffing mistress), a home help, and a no nonsense north Belfast woman who loved her family. She liked salt in her porridge and Hennessy in her tea. She was 96 when she died in 2016. #ballysillan #uppawomen💞

There were 48 people arrested in relation to the disorder, of which 23 had been reported for domestic abuse. The figures for Northern Ireland – 48% - were higher than the UK average (41%). www.thedetail.tv/articles/alm...

“This isn’t a political issue. Abusers are abusers.” Amanda Brown has spoken out against the “sectarianisation” of abuse. m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

Just been to see #NakedGun It was good craic. Silly fun. 85 minute special. Ballymena’s testosterone filled heterosexual manly man Liam Neeson wears a short skirt in one scene if any arts crusaders want to moral panic about the possible consequences and picket the cinemas😂

In today’s Sunday Life: Domestic abusers routinely use local women’s deaths to intimidate their partners. And an FOI reveals over 5,000 domestic abuse calls to the PSNI. #endvawg @womensaidni.bsky.social

NEW: Jeffrey Donaldson and Eleanor Donaldson case review today at Laganside. Following discussion about medical reports listed for mention at Newry on September 11. Not necessary for defendants to attend then. November trial date still on the cards...

Irish court rejects Conor McGregor appeal in sexual assault case www.reuters.com/sports/irish...

Pamela Anderson being the new First Lady of Ballymena wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card but stranger things have happened. Multiple friends have asked if the Liam Neeson Pamela Anderson relationship is real. I’m no showbiz reporter lol but I do hope so. They look cute! people.com/liam-neeson-...

Psst…NI folk. There’s something you need to know, but brace yourself for a shock. Ask your MLA/ MP this exact question: “how long will the waiting list for my local health treat’s Psychological Therapies Service be if I develop a severe mental health issue?” @amanda.ie #Belfast #NorthernIreland

This is literally what @arcadiaego and I were talking about yesterday: the fact that there's a division in what media people consume, and how that both reflects and shapes identity...

A timely conversation for ARINS ~ the Royal Irish Academy www.ria.ie/2025/07/21/a...

Violence is everywhere. Today has been tough. I’m not afraid to say I shed a tear. For everyone who loved the murdered #Maguiresbridge woman and her two precious children I am so sorry they have been taken from you. They deserved to be here, safe, living happy lives. RIP x

I am told around 250 attended the asbestos safety risk bonfire in south Belfast that a health expert and some politicians urged people not to light or attend. That number halved and then some within 20 minutes or so. 3D pic on the Tele @BelTel website here: www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

The first 20 minutes of this #bbctalkback episode with Dr Alan Stout is vital listening: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #bonfires #asbestos #healthadvice

NEW: I understand politicians have been told NIEA found more asbestos at multiple locations on half the south Belfast bonfire site today.

NEW on my website: AN IRISH STAYCATION WHILE THE RED ARMY PARTIED IN SPAIN www.amanda.ie/the-latest/an-irish-staycation-while-the-red-army-partied-in-spain

Amanda Ferguson: “Partition is intentionally divisive and designed so people don’t know each other.” She adds, “Everybody is a product of their environment and their age and their upbringing... that informs their experience and how they feel about it.” LIVE from O'Connell House🎤 @amanda.ie #ARINS

Do you ever wonder why instead of bonfire some people say #bonefire🔥? The Irish word for bonfire is tine chnámh. Tine means fire, and chnámh means bone.

Thanks Irish News! #GIWF www.irishnews.com/news/norther...
