Like Sammy Wilson I was also in Islandmagee today and had a lovely ice cream from @TheRinkha . I respected the staff and other customers enough to wear a mask. Then I went outside took the mask off and ate the ice cream - simple really ! #WearAMask

I would strongly encourage people not to attend the protest organised tonight in Carrickfergus against the presence of asylum seekers in the town. Such a protest will no doubt be very frightening and intimidating for this vulnerable group. #AsylumIsARight

I am very concerned to see that paramilitary flags have been erected for the first time outside a Catholic Church and Primary school in Larne. This is blatant sectarian intimidation. They should be removed. Police have been informed.

This has nothing to do with Republicans re-writing history. Soldier F is an ex-British soldier being tried for murder under British law.

Republicans don’t want people to remember their sectarian murder campaign. They seek to justify their terror by dragging elderly veterans through the courts. We won’t let them re-write history. Addressing Clyde Valley supporters tonight in a very wet Larne 👇🏻

I am shocked and saddened to see such an intrusive article so soon after such tragic occurrence for the family involved. #Shame

Is that the DUP MP who was thrown out by his wife after being caught having an affair at an event discussing concerns about same sex marriage ? ! #YouCantBeSerious

Meeting with Church representatives in Portadown today to discuss concerns about abortion and same sex marriage. The DUP continues to fight for a functioning Assembly. Important that Churches have a voice on matters affecting here.

To recap - Ian Paisley MP who is currently being investigated for not declaring free luxury holidays he took in a country with an appalling human rights record is now also at the centre of a scandal where the local council paid £1500 into his party fundraiser! #DinnerWithTheDUP

The DUP opposed the Good Friday Agreement, they dispute the terms of the St Andrews Agreement & backed out of an agreed deal on Irish language with SF (for some reason) at the very last minute last Feb. They are the worst possible advisors on negotiations. #DUPingNoOne

As we have always said, negotiations with the EU inevitably go down to the wire and the Government has been far too willing to capitulate before securing the necessary changes which would get an agreement through the House of Commons. 1/2

If you live in East Antrim & value the NHS you should know our current MP Sammy Wilson voted AGAINST a bill protecting the NHS from privatisation. I believe our health service is precious. If elected I will defend our #NHS . #DonnellyForEastAntrim

The subject of the song wasn’t a member of a terrorist organisation or even a political activist. She was a young Catholic woman who was brutally murdered on her honeymoon and yet it appeared that lots of people in that room knew the words of that sick song.

"They hammered & they hammered & they bate her about," the men in the Orange hall sing about a strangled woman. Nobody is seen to intervene, reprimand them, or ask them to leave. That's the most damning & depressing part of this whole horrible episode.
