My dad, my wonderful daddy left us tonight and my heart is so sore. He was so proud of everything I did, nothing more than my boys - his best role - as Gaga. My heart is sore. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. I’ve lost my biggest fan xx

I was sent the video last night and it brought me tears. Michaela was not a political or public figure. She was a young woman taken so senselessly from her loving family. There’s no justification for the actions in that video. We have a long way to go. My love to her family today

Haven’t been able to get Creeslough out of my head. People just running into the shop on their way home from school, picking up bits for dinner, filling the car. The devastation and impact of losing so many from such a small rural place will be massive. My heart is with them.

It makes me sad that some 10 and 11 year olds will be opening envelopes today and discovering the feeling of acute disappointment. It’s so unfair. It has always been unfair but even moreso with a cohort who haven’t had an uninterrupted school yr since P4. They deserve much more.

18 years of selfies and of utter love for this guy. I’ll never forget how we prayed he’d survive the first few days, then the first few wks, then to get through his open heart surgery at 14wks old. He’s taught me so much and we adore the bones of him. What a joy to celebrate 18!

In the same week we’re told to ‘call out’ casual misogyny and to challenge even the lowest level of inappropriate behaviour because it gives cover for more serious issues -my timeline is full of ppl getting stick for doing just that. Empty words if your behaviour belies them.

Two months today we lost this guy and I’m feeling it this week. No phone call tomorrow morning for the first time in memory to ask if it the election was ‘exes or numbers’ and to tease that he didn’t know anyone to vote for! Still sad that my two boyos have lost the best Gaga ❤️

The absolute best Friday feeling. Our Gaga came home this afternoon after a mammoth 27 days in hospital fighting sepsis, infection and dealing with amputation. We are so happy he is home. Huge thank you to everyone who’s sent well wishes and care over last month. ❤️🥰

Delighted to have it confirmed tonight that @AineGroogan will become Chair and I will become Vice Chair of the BCC Women’s Steering Group. This is a brilliant group that brings together elected reps and senior council officers. Looking forward to seeing what we can achieve. 💪🏻

In May 2015, I woke up after a couple of hrs sleep (&many tears) to remember that someone I looked up to had lost their seat and I’d lost my job. There are quite a few people facing that reality today which is always the harsh and sometimes forgotten side of politics. It’s tough.

It’s not often I see the boss this angry but I feel and agree with every word @naomi_long has said. What a shameful day. Total disgrace.

Feel physically sick to see this appear on my timeline. I worked with Aodhán as his youth worker when he was younger. Shocked that he’s been subjected to this. How is this still happening in 2021?! Can’t imagine how frightening this must be for LGBTQ individuals to see in news

As #AllSoulsDay comes to an end, I’m thinking of my lovely wee daddy and saying a wee prayer for all those who carry a loss with them everyday, be it a recent one or otherwise. May their souls know peace and may your heart know joy again. ❤️🙏

I can’t put into words how happy I am for this woman and for the people she will advocate for as the new MLA for South Belfast. For years I’ve seen how hard she works and how deeply she cares. 💛 so proud of you @KateNicholl xx

Regardless of whatever else is going on tonight nationally - I’ve had my faith restored by people of our city. Spent time in a room full of volunteers packing donated period care packs for homeless women/women with low income etc. Katrina and Rebecca of @HPBelfast are heroes ❤️

It’s a full decade since I made it through my scariest and darkest mental health crisis. Ive had blips but with care, reaching out, medication and love, I’ve not hit that low since. I’m so thankful for those who helped me put myself back together. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Today I managed to get everyone dressed and fed and out of the house to go to a baby group - and all before 10am. This feels like a momentous achievement 😂🙌🏻 Happy Friday!

For some, the theatrics of tonight is entertainment but tomorrow my constituency office will still have people at their wits end coming in for help. I know a functioning government isn’t going to fix it all overnight but it’d be a damn sight better than this. What a mess.

Once again hearing DUP and Gavin Robinson referring to North Antrim ‘losing a Unionist seat’ and it disappoints me. No seat belongs to any political party or ideology. The people of north Antrim are the only ones with ownership and control of who represents them.

I am in bits. The wee melter who reminds me annually that he is exactly 9 years and 364 days younger than me has just done what he promised us all he’d do. He got us that seat in Omagh. My heart is bursting. So SO proud of you Stephen. Lucky number 53. 💛🙌🏻

I was diagnosed at 13 - but only because my mum was a nurse and had read extensively about how ADHD presents differently in girls. I’ve had constituents in my office whose lives are in turmoil waiting for an adult diagnosis. This is so urgently needed. Thank you @PMcReynoldsMLA

My lockdown’s been pretty strict (partly due to postnatal anxiety) so tonight was the first night since the start of March I’ve been outside my own home and it was worth the wait to have an outside dinner party with mum and her best friend. Enjoy the bank holiday and stay safe :)

Huge thanks to @KateNicholl @SeamasBelfast @Briansmyth99 who gave up their Saturday afternoon to come down to @OhYeahCentre and watch the performances of the young people on our @TBUCCamps and talk to them about important issues. (Not pictured- @conormaskey who also came down!)
