I will be interested to hear from @deirdreheenan on her thoughts of Naomi running in East Belfast AND staying as Justice Minister. Heenan had a lot to say about Robin. Hope she gives Naomi the same treatment.

DUP: boycotted the Assembly for 2 years UUP: advocated tirelessly for the return of Stormont UUP: running in constituencies for election DUP: UUP selfish to run without talking to other unionist parties Was it not selfish of the DUP to hold the Assembly at ransom for 2 years?🤷🏼‍♀️

@deirdreheenan @RobinSwann_MLA Hi Deirdre, I'm waiting patiently for you to create a similar post about Long. At least Robin is standing down, Naomi isn't. Can we have your thoughts on this. Many thanks😊

The fact that the @duponline have now decided to steal the UUPs slogan of #makeNIwork is compeltely laughable. They didn't care for making NI work a year ago when they all boycotted the Assembly. Oh but wait, yes, there's an election in 6 weeks and they need your vote! Chancers!

I lost my dad to prostate cancer after he ignored signs for years. Late diagnosis is often due to a lack of understanding of the signs. So, if you're male, 40+ and haven't had a PSA test done, I recommend booking in - it could save your life.

@MartinG1492 I'm more specifically talking about the media in this case. The media and twitter had a lot to say about Robin, yet no doubt will be radio silence over Naomi. The fact she is staying as Justice Minister shows she is scared to not be Minister if unsuccessful in EB.

@jillybeattie @PoliceServiceNI @Daera I completely agree. There needs to be a comprehensive review of all existing animal welfare legislation. The Minster said it was a priority for him and his party, and I've seen no action yet. He even ruled out an animal cruelty register.
