@SimonCalvert14 I saw you there and meant to chat! It was a shame we didn't have you on the panel I thought

“For too long, discussions about identity in Northern Ireland have been framed as a choice between competing alternatives. Yet identity does not have to work like that.”

We're delighted to launch RenewNI today after months of building strong foundations and making exciting future plans! I am looking forward to serving as Head of Strategy.

We believe the positive case for Northern Ireland can be made and will be renewed for a new generation

Northern Ireland today is a place transformed. In a generation, we have come from conflict to build a peaceful, democratic society. Across our communities, people live, work and build their lives together, within a settlement that respects difference. There is a shared sense of belonging and a quiet pride in what we call home.

Too often, that story is overlooked. The conversation drifts towards division. Confidence has been shaken by instability, pressure on public services and uncertainty about what lies ahead. We focus too much on competing futures, instead of improving the present we already share.

But Northern Ireland is changing. More people are looking beyond old divisions. The foundations are already in place. A growing economy. Ambitious and talented young people, with the ability to deliver. This is our moment to move forward with confidence.

To realise that opportunity, a stronger case for Northern Ireland must be made. Renew NI exists to lead that work. Bringing together evidence, ideas and practical solutions. Building a clear, positive vision that reflects our strengths and meets our challenges head on.

A future where more people feel proud, not just of what we have overcome, but of what we are building together. A Northern Ireland that delivers. Confident in ourselves. Clear in our direction. We can build a Northern Ireland people don’t just live in, but believe in.

Wow, looking forward to the next generation of French conservatives - they'll knock our socks off

[Voices of Liberty @VoLDaily]

Roger Scruton recalls the exact moment he became a conservative during the 1968 Paris riots:

“When I looked down the street and saw all these rowdy students throwing stones at policemen, I just said to myself, ‘Whatever they believe, I believe the opposite.’”

This thread is gold. Why did I leave Twitter?

Just found out about recency bias. Maybe the most important bias ever

British politics: Andy Burnham might call an election, or maybe not

Northern Ireland subplot:

[Mark Gilmore @MarkGilmore2000]

The Scottish first minister, the Welsh first minister and the Northern Irish first minister walked into a press conference. Sadly the rest wasn't a joke

🚨 NEW: The leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland say the future of their nations "belongs in the European Union" as they call for independence from the UK

As flippant as this seems, the way the bill is drafted literally makes this an issue. Not for the first time, MLAs are in over their heads

MUST READ: The Women's Policy Centre Case for a Universal Ban on Surrogacy

Surrogacy turns women’s bodies into a service and children into commodities. It must be universally prohibited.

Every Prime Minister deserves to be able to speak in Downing Street without being drowned out by 'music'.

After Keir Starmer’s resignation speech last month, I wrote to the Met Police Commissioner and asked him to take action.

Today, the Commissioner has done the right thing.

@fleurmeston Wouldn't get that at SSZ!
