@naomi_long Maybe it’s because you put text stating “tackle abusive flags” in bold, and chose to use this flag as the only one in the image?

That to me suggests you consider this flag as an abusive flag 🤷‍♂️

How dumb we must all be for thinking that 🙄

[Joshua Lowry @JoshLowry13]

Next week, many of us will gather across the country to celebrate the victory at the Boyne & the civil & religious liberty for all that flowed.

We can & should debate the merits of different beliefs but violence & intimidation is wrong, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@Tuxedo445 Binface will consider keeping his deposit a victory and so will I😊

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

It seems increasingly clear all the major parties will not stand in Clacton. Count Binface Vrs Nigel Farage will be a fun race to watch.

Plus it exposes clearly this stunt for the joke it is.

[Count Binface @CountBinface]

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.

Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.

Leave him to me.

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@JoelKeysNI Just wait to you discover you can leave Belfast! There’s lots more nature once you live the city.

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

Reforms spin-doctors are going to have to change their campaign slogan for the forthcoming bi-election.

“The people v the establishment” doesn’t really work when it’s a millionaire vrs a man with a bin for a head.

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@iffabug Hope you have an enjoyable experience. In terms of safety, like with everything if you go looking trouble you’ll find it. If you don’t go looking trouble you won’t.

Double check with Translink public transport times, my advice would be to bring a folding chair and lots of water

@MrRCain2 @SuzyJourno @BelTel @Choyaa13 @mclaren_linzi @darrenleckey @BaronoftheMaine @DavidWClarke18 Since you asked- the out-workings of this has been disgraceful. It’s all very murky on who knew what. Those who knew about his misconduct should be held accountable. An independent enquiry is needed into his role as MP/Privy Council and DUP need to be transparent in their process

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@stewartcdickson @westiecop Protecting minority groups, such as victims, is very important to the UUP. Does the Alliance Party not wish to protect minority groups?

Your proposals would see victims of heinous crimes, such as hate crime, rape, conspiracy to commit murder unable to ever see justice.

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

Powerful statement from Nichola Corner (Lyra McKee’s sister). She did not mince her words that the culture of silence needs to be broken. 150 people witnessed the event-0 came forward with evidence.

Anti-PSNI rhetoric only helps criminals to remain at large in our communities.

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

Is this the best use of money when QUB students are skipping meals and struggling to heat their homes?

£600,000 would be much better spent on a cost of living package.

[BBC News NI @BBCNewsNI]

Queen's University Belfast has said proposals to introduce "tri-lingual" signage at its students' union building will cost £600,000.

Don’t let the history of the Troubles be rewritten.

The IRA were murderous psychopaths, who killed innocent civilians, assassinated police officers and blew up children.

The military and the police fought against them bravely. The terrorists lost, and democracy won.

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@StuartCan_NI @RobbieButlerMLA Funny enough my Twitter is my point of view 🤷‍♂️

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

We just pretending the UUP don’t exist?

Solid record in Health.
Correct stances taking over Brexit
Committed to reforming Stormont- not tearing it down.
Delivered peace in 1998

Sitting in the wings preparing to lead unionism once again 🇬🇧

[Annie McGinley @annie_mcginley]

The 2027 election is mutual assured destruction

The TUV’s purity is ruined by Bryson acting as the "accidental architect" of the border he hated

Meanwhile, the DUP is poisoned by Donaldson’s duplicitous double life.

Disillusioned unionists will likely just stay home

Discuss.

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@OswaldBaggins11 In the executive and represent a ~100,000 people.

So try again

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@StuartCan_NI @RobbieButlerMLA Campaigned remain- correct decision
Against protocol (when Arlene and Jeffrey supported)- correct decision
Against collapsing Stormont to combat Windsor framework- correct decision

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@StuartCan_NI @columeastwood In fairness Stuart, the realistic alternative in Foyle would be Sinn Fein, whose attendance record would be 0

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@DarrenJohnson66 Must be all the brown envelopes 😂

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@AodhMorONeill It was part of a wider European conflict, so obvs, but what we also remember and commemorate is the Glorious Revolution and birth of Constitutional Monarchy and Parliamentary Democracy.

[Matthew Bell @MatthewBellUUP]

@WillieJohn21 @Frank_Connolly_ And of equal importance, outlining the right for self determination for the people of Northern Ireland!
