North Down MP Lady Sylvia Hermon says, ‘...fishermen in Northern Ireland support Theresa Mays deal’. I’m from Kilkeel, home of the largest fishing port in Northern Ireland. Everyday I speak to fisherman - I have yet to speak to a single one of them who supports the deal.

At the age of 17, Paul Bulter, a then IRA volunteer and future Sinn Fein politician, murdered a 50 year old police officer by shooting him in the back of his head. A police officer who was simply doing his job, simply defending democracy and simply supporting his family.

264 years ago today, Arthur Guinness signed a 9000 lease for St James Gate - And started to brew Guinness. The drink was known as the black Protestant porter - In 1913 the Guinness family donated £10,000 (£1 million in today's money) to the UVF arms fund. To Arthur 💪🏼

Israel - Homosexuality is legal, and is one of the most LGBT friendly countries in the world. Palestine - Homosexuality is illegal. Think it’s fair to say these participates of #BelfastPride care nothing about LGBT rights, and more about just pushing a narrow political agenda.

Thoughts on this difficult day are with Laura, Trinity, Oliver, Cameron, and Abigail as they lay their husband, and father, to rest. Thinking also of the wider family circle, friends and colleagues. Matthew 5:4 - ‘Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.’

How my MP describes Northern Ireland - ‘rotten orange state’. This coming from the same MP that has his constituency office named after two dead IRA terrorists - One of which died when the bomb he was planting at a police station exploded prematurely. #Shameful

As we approach the centenary anniversary of the creation of the rotten orange state there are those within unionism who appear nostalgic for those days of yore when nationalists need not apply

99 years today the Royal Ulster Constabulary came into excistance. Throughout ‘The Troubles’, the police service lost 319 members as a result of terrorism, while a further 9000 were injured. Ordinary people doing an extraordinary job.

If there is a legal loop hole that facilitates the removal of un-necessary customs checks between mainland UK & NI, why would anyone call for them to be reinstated? Checks that are hitting the pockets of the people of NI - Catholic, Protestant & those of all, or no, faith.

An honour and privilege to attend the 45th Anniversary Remembrance Service at Narrow Water this morning. A truly sobering moment when you stand there, and think of the utter carnage and devastation witnessed at that very spot 45 years ago today. We Will Remember Them 🖤

And just a few mile away in Castlewellan, current Sinn Fein MP Chris Hazzard has his office named after 2 terrorists, one of which died when a bomb he was planting exploded prematurely. It wasn’t right in 1985 & it’s not right now. Never Forget Those Murdered By Terrorists 🖤

#OnThisDay in 1985 the IRA murdered William Heenan, 51. Widowed father of 1, digger driver. Protestant shot outside his home, 5 miles outside Castlewellan. No security force connections. 12 year old son ran almost a mile shouting, “Daddy’s shot! Daddy’s shot!” #OTD

6 years ago today I fitted this brass plaque at the site of the 1979 Narrow Water bombing. Over those 6 years the plaque has been replaced 3 times, due to its theft or severe damage. The memory of these brave men will live on forever. #NeverForgetTheVictimsOfTerrorism

Last night Star of Down held their annual parade in their home town of Newcastle. As bands were parading through the middle of the town republicans threatened participants, and shouted sectarian abuse - Which can be seen & heard in the video below. #AbsolutelyAppalling

@DonalLyons "Finaghy is a shared community where people of all traditions and none live happily side by side." If you really believed that, you would not be annoyed by flags being erected to mark the Coronation of the countries new Monarch. The first Coronation in 70 years, for some people

35 years ago today, at the age of 23, UDR Cpl Alan Johnston was murdered by IRA terrorists as he arrived at Kilkeel Joinery Works. He was the 3rd employee of the firm to be killed, the 5th member of his family to be killed and 170th member of the UDR to be killed. #NeverForget
