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.

I spoke to Frank Mitchell about the failure of the Hill Street pedestrianisation scheme this week. It's reflective of wider problems, at Stormont, especially Sinn Fein & DUP don't want to make NI work. When will they put their big boy & big girl pants on, govern this place & improve people's lives?
1 in 5 MLAs are landlords. Many councillors & their family members also are. Is there the political will to tackle the housing crisis? The housing crisis in NI has been created by the 5 parties who have been in power for 28 years. Connect the dots. It’s not the fault of minority communities.
As thousands of people come into Belfast City Centre to celebrate St Patrick's Day, one of its most important & historic buildings lies left to rot by the failure of private developers. It's time for Assembly Rooms to come into public ownership & save it for future generations.
A question for anyone who doesn't believe in climate change. Thinks it's a scam and complete nonsense, with all that is going on in the world right now with rising energy costs.....
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.
People in NI have been failed for decades by the Stormont Executive. Migrants aren't to blame for collapsing public services, a lack of social homes, rising NHS waiting lists. It's down to Stormont and how they have prioritised division over investment in abandoned communities.
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.
I was on Nolan today talking on how Twitter/X is now running a business model that tolerates & profits from the sexual abuse & exploitation of women & children through AI deepfakes. Any political party or public rep who keeps treating X as a normal platform, while knowing this, is complicit.
Belfast city centre is at a crossroads. Will community need beat developer greed? We say yes. Time for overdose prevention, safer streets, and real public transport - not empty promises or empty buildings. A greener, fairer Belfast starts now. #BelfastCityCentre #GreenPartyNI
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.

Human caused climate change is almost assuredly involved in this off-charts heat and, at the same time, I’m happy we settled in Downeast Maine four years ago. Today’s spring snow (although deer ticks were on the move a couple days ago as well)
This isn't a city. It's Lianqiu Lake, Huawei's R&D centre that's so large it features more than 100 cafes within its campus. Good day to remind y'all that Huawei is the only Fortune 500 company, in the world, that is 100% OWNED BY ITS EMPLOYEES, with founder Ren Zhengfei holding only about 1%.

No more “wait and see.” No more “let’s be polite.” ICE is escalating. Trump is enabling. We are not waiting for permission to fight back. This weekend — we show up. We stand up. We shut it down. #ICEOutForGood social.demcast.com/s/gEzZJde6

“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.

This indie developer is making a title inspired by the PS1/GBA/DS era of Castlevania games, so I guess "Metroidvania" wouldn't exactly be the right thing to call it, right? It's called Magnavale: Eternal Soul, will you play this?

It was a pleasure to join Rory Lancman in meeting with Asian American leaders across Long Island. I’m grateful for their insights on the issues impacting their communities. These conversations help build a campaign that truly reflects our community, and that’s the leadership I’ll bring to Albany.

Evidence is mounting that the 2026 election will be a "blue wave." In North Carolina, the generic ballot average currently sits around D+4 - and there's still five months before the election. Try it out for yourself: https://carolinaforward.org/news/2026-shift/
