Whatever happens during these strikes is on the NI Executive. Pay the nurses & the rest of our HSC staff what they should get & strikes don’t have to happen.

This just doesn’t make sense 🤔
A graphic showing a series of pics of news articles how the PSNI is unable to work properly without certain funding & pics of them from this weekend arresting Palestine Action protestors in London. And text saying: It the PSNI are so short on funding & resources that they can't police NI properly THEN WHY ARE THEY SENDING OFFICERS TO LONDON TO HELP THEIR POLICE ARREST PEACEFUL PROTESTORS?

This is an extremely worrying precedent being set here. An authoritarian move to end the freedom of assembly - one of our basic rights. Shame on this government.

Disgusting homophobic language from the DUP MLA Jonathan Buckley as he says “pansying around”. A term long known to be used as a homophobic slur.

The conflating of criticism of Israel and antisemitism has been disgusting
Tweet from Zarah Sultana: You can protest against Israel's genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester. Don't let politicians or the media tell you that you can't do both.
