“Honesty, honor, humility, character.

Integrity, truth, compassion.

Humanity, thoughtfulness, morality, true strength.

Don’t let anybody tell you these things don’t matter anymore. They do.”

Springsteen in D.C. last night — and the reaction.

Swam 10k in May for @CR_UK We lost our dad to cancer 25+ yrs ago. His & other v serious diagnoses now have much better prognosis thanks to research. Play your part in shaping a better future by throwing a few pound in the pot for cancer research: https://t.co/H3PPNNJhEo

@NewtonEmerson Eh... we suggested it a year ago.

🆕 @columeastwood tells us about how the first official opposition was formed a decade ago.

The SDLP has been shouting for weeks about the impact of refusing to set a Budget.

For our trouble, we've been called names by the Finance Minister.

Today, the Communities Minister confirmed that funding to groups tackling domestic violence was at risk without a Budget

[Matthew O'Toole @MatthewOToole2]

Every party in the Assembly bar Sinn Féin and the DUP supported our key scrutiny amendments. Alliance, UUP, PBP, TUV

We are often told SF and the DUP are bound to be at each other's throats but the truth is they work together to defend the Stormont status quo when it suits them

[Matthew O'Toole @MatthewOToole2]

The SDLP Opposition has submitted an urgent oral question to find out how and why this vandalism took place. Modest funding for the Placenames NI project has been cut while the Minister has broken the bank to celebrate the foundation of the US.

[Claire Hanna @ClaireHanna]

Always love Belfast Marathon day & yesterday didn’t disappoint. Relay leg for me, @BredaghGAC1 team for the Cancer Centre & Women’s Aid. Incredible support & community effort all along the route. People pushing themselves, strangers cheering strangers & much raised for charity 🙌

[Matthew O'Toole @MatthewOToole2]

Hard to capture in words how contemptible it is to use images of this day, in which soldiers murdered more than a dozen innocent men, in a cheap propaganda video.

[Matthew O'Toole @MatthewOToole2]

This is an absolute farce and an indictment of the Finance Minister and whole Executive.

Public services certain to suffer as a result.

But sure lookit, lets all talk about flags and statues instead.

[Colum Eastwood @columeastwood]

I’m astounded that @KemiBadenoch used footage of soldiers in Derry during Bloody Sunday in this video promoting the actions of the British Army.

It’s disgusting, deeply offensive and an insult to the innocent civil rights protestors who soldiers killed that day.

@dmcbfs I heard they are going to call it Camino de Combelfasta

[Matthew O'Toole @MatthewOToole2]

This was four months ago. Not only has this Budget still not been agreed, in breach of the law, the finance minister who drafted and published the document has disowned it.

The public of NI deserves so much better.

[South Belfast Foodbank @SouthbelfastFB]

A HUGE "Thank you" to ALL our shoppers 🛒 at Tesco Newtownbreda

During Q1 of 2026, over 4 tonnes of food was donated.

That is simply marvellous and we are so grateful.

THANK YOU

Claire Hanna is the most popular NI party leader in @LucidTalk poll for @BelTel. For the first time, she scores higher than Michelle O'Neill among nationalists. Jon Burrows is the second best rated leader, replacing Jim Allister as unionists' favourite.
