Stormont isn’t broken by accident. It protects wealth, sidelines communities and keeps failing on equality, public services and the future our children deserve. Thirty years of the same parties. Crisis after crisis. Managed decline sold as stability.

Myself and @seamasbelfast.bsky.social have asked for Belfast City Council to review its engagement on Twitter last week.

It is a playground for nonces.

To those supposed local political champions of ending violence against women and girls, your continued use on it is an act of hypocrisy.

Nearly 50,000 on NI’s social housing waiting list – with 4,627 (almost 10%) in North Belfast alone. Stormont calls this a “strategy”. Most people would call it cruelty.

Honoured to be nominated by members from across the island of Ireland for the Green Party Deputy Leadership election.

In the face of climate breakdown, housing crisis, rising inequality, and global uncertainty, the Greens are needed more than ever.

🔥 January was the world's warmest on record.

🤯 And yet Labour are backing climate-wrecking airport expansion and more oil & gas.

💚 We need real investment in renewables, home insulation and public transport to bring down bills AND emissions.

We need full implementation of our Climate Change Act.

“Activism and Social Change”—a battle cry, not just a theme. LGBTQ+ warriors have shattered barriers from Stonewall to Stormont. Their courage transformed lives. Act. Attend events. Learn history. Support LGBTQ+ groups. Every action matters. This isn’t about remembering history—it’s about making it.

Happy St Brigid’s Day! Saint, Celtic icon, OG eco-warrior. Her flame wasn’t kept alive alone: it took communities tending it through storms. As habitats shrink and temps rise, we need that same grit. Plant wildness. Fight pollution. Demand better. Progress shouldn’t cost the Earth. 🌱

While Britain faces cost-of-living crisis & climate breakdown, Labour's leadership just greenlit massive airport expansion. They're laughing - at our expense.

"Don't worry about bats and newts," Reeves tells builders. Really? Writing off wildlife protection laws while the planet burns?

Cyclist safety is at risk with the Dept for Infrastructure’s 6 month trial allowing more taxis in Belfast’s bus & cycle lanes. @briansmyth99.bsky.social : “Cycling in this city is dangerous at the best of times; any extension heightens this.”

Glasgow just opened Scotland’s first Overdose Prevention Centre, a bold move to tackle the drugs crisis. It’s time for Belfast to follow suit. GPNI leader Mal O’Hara has long advocated for these centres, which save lives, reduce harm, and connect people to support. Let’s act now.

58,238 people in NI are officially homeless. That’s enough to fill Belfast City Hall’s main function rooms 67 times over.

Our plan to deliver 2,500 energy-efficient social homes yearly tackles this crisis head-on. It’s time for urgent action to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home.

Another bloody nose for the Alliance Minister and his party's supposedly environmental credentials.

Happy Xmas.
🎄Glad tidings we bring to you and for your environment.

The Supreme Court rejects the Minister's appeal of the Gas Caverns judgment.

This means our win at the Court of Appeal - still stands!

Lots of talk today about what the DfI minister will announce RE. Congestion in Belfast

Greens clear on this, DfI's car brained attitude of letting private hire taxis into bus lanes & lack of cycling infrastructure is the wrong approach, massive increase of active travel spending needed
