Welcome the suspension of 30 arms exports licenses to Israel, something I’ve been arguing for since the start.
Removing the tools of genocide from Netanyahu who has deployed overwhelming and devastating deadly force against civilians, including children, is critical.

An outstanding MP, a first class organiser and a good friend. Claire will be an inspiring leader and I know she’s committed to the progressive platform that the SDLP represents.
She has my full support to be the next SDLP Leader.
I’ll be putting my name forward as leader of the SDLP. Statement here :

I’ll never forget the feeling I had hearing the news on my father’s car radio that the IRA had announced a ceasefire 30 years ago today.
The road to peace has not been a straight one but we now live on a changed island, finally at peace.
Change can happen.
Hope won.

I had a good conversation with
@StephenNolan
this morning about leadership, change, the SDLP and the new energy I have for what’s ahead.
Fighting for Derry and building a new Ireland that we can all share is my focus. Excited to get on with that work.

When I first met
@columeastwood
, he was a young MLA and I was a young BMA rep lobbying on a difficult subject. He was prepared, listened and understood.
I came away thinking ‘that’s a proper politician’, and my view has never changed.

I would like to wish
@columeastwood
well as he announces his resignation as leader of the SDLP.
Colum has served with distinction and has been a progressive, responsible and pragmatic voice on all issues, but especially the challenging
ones.

Politics is always about the next challenge. The next challenge for me is building a new Ireland that we can all share together.
It’s an honour to be Derry’s MP - a job I love, to have led the SDLP and I’m excited about what comes next.

We have a crisis in public service funding and instead of dealing with it, Executive Departments are starting fights over who sends letters to who?
This is embarrassing, it looks so petty and we don’t have time for it. Ministers need to get a grip and get to work.
PSNI chief constable Jon Boutcher has been criticised by the Department of Justice's top civil servant, for making a direct plea to the prime minister over funding

Very sorry to hear about the death of Nell McCafferty. A mould breaker and establishment shaker, she spoke truth to power like only a Derry woman could.
An icon for so many people across Ireland. Nell will be sadly missed but her activism will endure.

Watching Gerry Anderson’s ‘A City Dreaming’ again tonight. God, what a stunning piece of work by a real treasure. His absence is still felt in Derry.

This is sick but not surprising
Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November.

Doug and I have different politics but I’ve always admired his candour and commitment to working together in the interests of the people we represent.
I know this won’t be the end of his political contribution but hope he enjoys some more time to spend with his loving family.

At first a love letter to
#Derry
to reveal tongue & toothache of a city 'on edge' of history, starved of economy, infrastructure, university & investment. A sense of pride, honesty & hard truths. Brilliant piece from
