I’m noticing more and more people not ALTing and captioning their posts… this is sad, as it excludes so many people from the deaf and disabled community from fully receiving your content info 🥺💜 #InclusionMatters at all times, even during vacation times!

"Bed blockers" are people who are entitled to receive timely and appropriate social care provision from our health AND SOCIAL CARE trusts. They are not "blocking beds" for the fun of hanging out in our hospitals. These people are being failed too.

We can all do better to make social media more inclusive for those who are visually impaired. Today I made a serious plea, sprinkled with humour and a dash of compassion to encourage MLAs to lead the way on using Alt text. “And may the alt text be with you.”

@little_pengelly To demonstrate commitment to stability yourself & @moneillsf must remove the veto once & for all, to help achieve a thriving NI/NoI that’s best for all -show commitment beyond walking & talking behind closed doors & regard the societal detriment it causes! FYI @MatthewOToole2

@SorchaEastwood 💯 I’m glad the person seen the error of their ways! It is very easy for people to forget that we are all just people surviving to thrive in a public/private world, as best we can…if only people would stop and think a little more…would I like this if someone did this to me etc.

A strong MP, we know & trust to represent us all in #SouthBelfastAndMidDown Claire listens to us on the outside & brings us inside, in her words/actions to reflect & protect how we’re impacted by non-devolved matters, that impact us-showing up, speaking out & voting matters 4 all

“The Green Benches” is far from the only place an MP represents their constituents. I want to keep being a voice in the public conversation for common ground and for politics that works for people.

This is what the SDLP manifesto clearly states regarding committing to ensure D/disabled people achieve full Human Rights protections via the UNCRPD in NI Domestic Laws… Protections we lost as a result of Brexit… 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

I couldn’t agree more with Sorcha its time for change in #LaganValley that change is @RobbieButlerMLA the most genuinely kind, caring & inclusive politician with an empathetic openness that’s matched with experience & dedicated commitment to win for #LaganValley & NI @SuzyJourno

Jeffrey Donaldson's resignation has thrown the Lagan Valley #GE24 race wide open. I join Jonny Buckley as he battles to keep the DUP seat; Robbie Butler who insists he has a real chance; & Sorcha Eastwood who says "it's time for change".

S’th Belfast & Mid Down have the privilege of having a MP we know works every day with & for us all! There isn’t many MP’s that would video call you from Westminster, before a committee meeting to reassure you & clarify points to raise that’s @ClaireHanna #VoteHanna1 NI’s best MP

This is a great skill for anyone to have but especially an MP who goes to so many events in her constituency & beyond to support us - ensuring she represents all of us with a genuine confidence & passion that comes from truly knowing as many of the constituents she represents 🫶

Thanks to @BredaghGAC1 for the opportunity to do CPR & defibrillator training today. A cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time and every second matters if it does. Glad to have more knowledge & confidence to act if the worst ever happens

@SorchaEastwood The irony of this unALTed post🫣… because @SorchaEastwood , you, just ignore the consistent requests for basic free digital inclusion from the Deaf & Disabled Community - helping to further marginalise the largest marginalised community 💜🤔
