Colum was the only Party Leader tonight to call for recognition of the State of Palestine, an end of arms sales to Israel and a boycott of Biden’s White House until he stops funding the IDF bombing children. Honestly, what is so difficult about these asks for the other parties?

With characteristic consideration, Claire gave voice to people across South Belfast tonight in her contribution on the horrific conflict in Gaza. An incredible watch 👇

I spoke in favour of an immediate ceasefire for Gaza today. The wholesale slaughter of innocent Palestinian men, women & children has no possible justification.

I have just asked CCEA to ensure that all AS & A2 students now receive the highest of either their CAG (teacher assessed grades) or the grade provided by CCEA. This will safeguard students from NI so that they are not disadvantaged in comparison with other students in GB

Year after year, we see students forced to move into damp, unaffordable, unsafe houses that are barely fit for human habitation. @DeirdreHargey and @gordonlyons1 should stop abdicating their responsibility to students and take action now👇

When a University has up to nine MILLION pounds invested in fossil fuel companies it can't claim to be ethically acting in the interests of students and their future! Make sure to vote yes in the Green New Deal referendum TODAY on !

More childcare support = higher incomes, lower poverty rates and improved gender equality. Time to think big about the scale of investment needed.

It’ll take an Assembly to really get into fixes & reforms but I was glad to speak in a debate on childcare this week at Westminster, and to note the positive impact of those locally who have forced this up the political agenda! Time to think big on this, for economy & equality👶
