A warm welcome to @NorwichChloe , new @DWP SoS and @chhcalling new NI SoS

Could I suggest that as a matter of urgency there is a focus on:
- helping our poorest households cope with the #CostOfLivingCrisis
- getting our @niexecutive back to work to develop local support schemes

Today we launched East Belfast chatty benches, with colourful benches located in 18 community organisations across East Belfast. A visual reminder for us all to keep connecting with each other.

Advice Space client Katrina is delighted after success in her three year battle to get her Employment and Support Allowance reinstated. With the help of Advice Space, Katrina took ESA to an appeal which was resolved in her favour. Back payment of 3 years is also due.

Just out from @Economy_NI ... https://t.co/2KGUuQGd9J

Is this right? Nearly half of electricity consumption in NI was generated from renewable sources?

Should this not, to some extent, protect us electricity price hikes?

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

An apology. In my broadcasts earlier I should've noted the price cap does not apply to Northern Ireland which is on a separate regulatory system.

Sorry about that.

[Bob Stronge @bobweak]
