Remember that time Sinn Féin was in government and they took medical cards away from children with disabilities and tried to introduce water charges? . No, neither do I. That was Ivana Bacik’s Labour Party. @ivanabacik @labour . #GE24 #FineGaelLite.

The leader of Fianna Fáil telling the people of the Bogside, Ballymurphy, and the hundreds of victims of British collusion that we have “to be careful about saying both sides” about the conflict. He’s an utterly despicable person. #GE24

Isn’t it incredible that our national broadcaster @rtenews carried no coverage of the commemorative events from Derry to mark the 50th anniversary of one of the most important events in our recent history, while Sky News carried live coverage. Shameful really. #BloodySunday50.

Simon Harris just said “all 5.6 million of us” when referring to Irish people cheering on our Olympians. Insulting our athletes from north of the border, their families and communities. 🤦🏻♂️ #Olympics #WelcomeHome #partitionist.

Are people copping onto the fact that Simon Harris’ entire public persona is an act for the cameras? One carefully constructed by his large team of PR people. One that has finally exposed for the world to see, by his simple lack of empathy for a woman in distress. #GE24.
