Exclusive analysis by our @FactCheck team shows just how bad things are getting in Northern Ireland’s health service.
The number of people waiting more than 12 hours in A&E is now 36 times higher than it was in 2009.

It’s with deep regret that I learned of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
The British people will miss the leadership she gave as monarch.
I would like to offer my sincere sympathies and condolences to her children, and wider family as they come to terms with their grief 1/4
I’m sure you all feel great🙄 Everyone can stand around and clap each other on the back in the, ‘politically correct brigade’. How about getting on with the real issues affecting people such as tackling drugs, theft and crime?
The decision of the British Secretary of State to approve a PII certificate to hide information relating to Noah Donohoe’s death is deeply concerning & shameful.
We will continue to stand with Fiona Donohoe & her family in their campaign for truth & justice.
It’s extremely disappointing to see my election posters alongside this sectarian message on an eleventh night bonfire. Leaders in the unionist community need to call these actions out and put a stop to this once and for all.
NEW: A majority of MLAs in the Northern Ireland Assembly have signed a joint letter to PM Boris Johnson this afternoon outlining their opposition to the government’s proposed legislation that would give Ministers the power to unilaterally disapply sections of the protocol.
Talking of the Protocol, the European Commission has just approved Northern Ireland's "map" for granting regional aid from Jan 2022 to Dec 2027.
These are desiged to allow support to "least favoured regions in catching up and to reduce disparities" in income and unemployment
"While this is a sad day for Northern Ireland, it is a shameful day for the DUP"
Alliance Party leader Naomi Long criticises members of the DUP for taking their salaries but refusing "to take their seats and do the work to earn it"

Everyone switch on to Al Jazeera right now. This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve seen.
IOF is attacking mourners carrying Shireen’s body from the hospital right now. They’re using stun grenades and tear gas and charging at them with horses and batons.
6 years ago, the DUP backed the wrong horse. They gambled on a monumentally significant referendum that gave us brexit. NI voted to remain, but now, 6 yrs later, they are punishing us all because they have buyer's remorse. Shameful. DUP care not one jot about NI or its people
@J_Donaldson_MP Any party walking away from their jobs need the pay cut immediately. No doubt you will scutter back to the halls of Westminster for your hefty MP salary…
Another depressing day for young people growing up here desperate for some stability and chance to do well in life.
Michelle O'Neill(VP Sinn Fein) - "Anything that happens in this executive & assembly will not change the protocol... so the DUP is holding society to ransom... the DUP are telling the world that they do not accept the democratic outcome of this election"
