The UK Supreme Court has just ruled that my Abortion (Safe Access Zones) (NI) Bill is within the competence of the Northern Ireland Assembly meaning it can now proceed for Royal Ascent to become law. Best Christmas present ever.

Consumers’ pockets and palates will suffer if Claire Bailey’s Climate Change Bill is passed.
It will lead to higher energy bills & 'risk reliant diets'.
Diets which would include insect larvae, seaweed, algae & maggots.
And parents thought getting kids to eat 🥦 was hard!

We are overwhelmed by the support shown to us. We do however feel it is important to emphasise that this issue involved a small number of individuals and is no way reflective of the East Belfast community. People have reached out from all aspects of the community. Thank you all.
