Peaceful protest is not a crime. And silence on Gaza is not an option. Today in the Assembly, SDLP Leader of the Opposition Matthew O'Toole called out the arrest of peaceful protesters in Belfast, while the world watches the horror unfolding in Gaza.


‼️School Bus Safety Campaign ‼️ Tomorrow is Opposition day at the assembly and The SDLP are bringing a motion asking DfI to bring forward effective legislation to save the lives of our children. No solution is NOT an option. Malachy Quinn Mark H Durkan




SDLP Leader Claire Hanna challenged the PM on Gaza today, saying it’s shameful that Ms Rachel from YouTube has shown more moral clarity than world leaders. As families are killed and shelters bombed, Britain talks of war when it should be pushing for peace and justice.

Great afternoon with Ulster GAA in Westminster, advocating for Casement & for their incredible impact in communities. A good case made. Time for Governments in Belfast & London to get beyond the sound bites and get this done





Well done UsdawUnion Thanks Dónal Lyons & enlightened councillors Belfast City Council


Disgusting. Peadar Tóibín TD is this the proud legacy of your party? Is this acceptable?—spewing hate and calling people “mongrels” while clutching the Irish flag? How dare anyone hijack our flag to justify thus racism. They don’t represent Ireland. They shame everything it stands for.
