Joined Sdlp ,Cllr Donal Lyons and Simon Hamilton to exchange views on the state of our City economy. Jobs in retail, office hospitality and services are all being squeezed during this covid recession . Sdlp will lobby or challenge Stormont to keep our economy growing

Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

Today is also my 41st Birthday and I have decided to take the afternoon off and spend a little time with my dog Mirta.

[Seán Fitzsimons @ballyaltonboy]

Recent months have challenged us like never before.

STILL WE RISE ✊

Today on #IDDP2020 we connect, reflect & celebrate our community.

To my brothers, sisters & allies around the globe hold your heads high.

Our rights, value & agency as #DisabledPeople can never be eroded 💜

[Paul Doherty @PaulDoherty___]

The response in the last few days to both our foodbank & Christmas appeal has been nothing short of phenomenal! To everyone who reached out in order to help those less fortunate, thank-you!
Our work continues again this week with teams out providing support within communities.

[Michaela Hollywood MBE @KylaHollywood]

So today I did this... never in a zillion years did I think I would get to take to the red dot. And to do it in 2020 is an even bigger dream. Thank you @TEDxCookstown & @Clairelohanlon for letting me share my big idea. #TEDxCookstown

[Claire Hanna @ClaireHanna]

Confirmed, Conservatives are cutting overseas aid & repealing their legal commitment to 0.7%, right in the middle of a pandemic. This is money to help the poorest, promote security & address climate change.

Short sighted, mean spirited, inward looking - Brexit Britain all over

[Cllr Brian Heading @CllrHeadingSDLP]
