Apparently Keir Starmer is going to announce changes to the winter fuel cuts next week. Could he be more calculating? It's a pathetic attempt to get MPs opposed to the welfare cuts to drop their opposition to them. #TakingThePIP

I'm pleased Kate Pickett will join the 'Labour in Government: one year on conference' in London on July 19. As the Government faces growing calls to take real action against inequality & poverty, join us as we pose the question 'where next?' Info ๐ bit.ly/lab1yearon

This letter made me cringe. Our Lough is dying. Our water is rotten. I'm not prepared to sacrifice the future of our biggest natural asset for the sake of profit. My children deserve to love the Lough as much as I do. Hold strong Andrew Muir MLA - you are doing the right thing.

Dr Ciara Fitzpatrick Andrew Muir MLA Listening to Gavin Robinson this morning with his head in the sand on this was incredible. By all means try to figure out how to support farmers financially in making a greener transition but to suggest not doing anything because of potential financial impact...I can't compute



Dr Ciara Fitzpatrick Absolutely, and health inequalities multiplied a hundred fold. We already see it with struggling practices and difficult access, but this creates another level altogether
