sMYTH BUSTING the Green Party, Pt 3: The Greens don't get the cost of living crisis The working and middle classes are being squeezed, while Stormont shows no ambition or bravery. We want to build a new Green economy, create thousands of jobs/apprenticeships, and end fuel poverty.

sMYTH BUSTING the Green Party, part 2: The Greens want to ban cars. No we don't. We want to strengthen public transport & active travel. Our roads are congested & filled with dirty air. 34% of people in Belfast don't have access to a car. Is this really the best we can do?
It's been reported today that nearly half of those arrested in Northern Ireland last August during the racist violence, have previously been reported for domestic abuse. Don't tell me the biggest threat to women and children comes from immigrants, it's mostly comes from local straight white men.
Entrance to Cherryvale Park blocked and seriously damaged due to a large tree that has collapsed. Stay at home and keep safe. I'll keep people updated.
I spoke on Nolan this morning and called on Translink & Department of Infrastructure to reduce the cost of public transport over the Xmas period. Put increased services in place to get Belfast & NI moving. Ease congestion and make it economically viable for people to get on the bus or train.
When racist violence erupted last summer, inaction from the executive let it fester and emboldened fascists. Stormont has a leadership vacuum on this and other issues. When far-right thugs try to lynch migrant workers outside McDonalds, silence from elected representatives is complicity.
Update on Boucher & Pitches Strategy last night at Council. We don't have to pit music & sport against each other. As Greens we successfully argued for a deferral to give everyone a few weeks to get this right. The bigger political parties are failing to deliver up Stormont & need a distraction.
When politicians on the right, including the DUP say rising energy costs are linked to net zero & climate policies, they are full of crap. Today BP announced profits that have doubled in 3 months, because of war in the Middle East. This is obscene & corporate greed, hurting communities across NI.
MLAs in line for a £14,000 per year pay rise. My question to those 90 MLAs do you actually think you are delivering for the public? Most MLAs are nothing more than glorified councillors who pass meaningless motions. Meanwhile our infrastructure, health service, Lough Neagh etc are collapsing.
The Sinn Fein minister responsible for transport policy is failing Belfast. There is no imagination to reduce car dependency & strengthen public transport. As Greens we believe there are alternatives, greater investment in buses, cycling & walking. Delivering cleaner streets & healthier outcomes.

Marine Israélienne Le système « Diamant » transforme un navire de guerre en une véritable flotte. Au lieu de s'appuyer sur un seul bâtiment imposant, Israël déploie à ses côtés des vedettes d'attaque sans équipage, armées de missiles, de drones et de systèmes de défense aérienne.
I asked our witnesses at today’s hearing what they would say to Americans who have fallen victim to anti-immigrant rhetoric. Listen to their responses:
“When ISIS fighters are wounded, they are transported to Israel to be treated by Israelis in Israeli hospitals and brought back to the battlefield.” This is a former FBI official saying this. I don’t know what other evidence you need.
