120,000 people across Northern Ireland juggle work while caring for a sick or disabled loved one.

Sinn Féin promised them paid carer’s leave. Now they’ve watered it down to unpaid leave instead.

Carers deserve support, not more broken promises.

We're one step closer to banning fox hunting today after MLAs backed @JohnBlairAPNI’s bill at its latest stage 🦊🎉

Let's make 2026 the last year this cruel practice remains legal in Northern Ireland.

[Kellie Armstrong @Kelmba]

Change starts with awareness. Our constituency staff took part in training with @Nexus_NI and have signed the pledge to #BreakTheCycle. We’re committed to standing with survivors and building safer communities.

Once upon a time, Nigel Farage sold unionist politicians a fantasy with Brexit and we're all worse off for it.

We cannot let Reform UK do the same.

If there’s one thing DUP & SF agree on, it's maintaining division.

The cost of doing so in health, education, and community services could run into the £100s of millions.

Last week, they teamed up to block looking into how much we’d save from creating a more integrated society.

[Alliance Party @allianceparty]

Without reform, we risk condemning our institutions to either death by a thousand collapses, or by a slow bleed of public confidence in their ability to deliver.

Politics in Northern Ireland is broken. But we have a plan to fix it.

Schools are held together by Special Educational Needs Coordinators but they’re at breaking point.

Workloads are soaring and we risk losing the people our children rely on.

Alliance is bringing this for debate in the Assembly; we need action to reduce their workload.

[Sorcha Eastwood MP @SorchaEastwood]

Sometimes you've got to stand up and speak truth to power ✊️

This government have no idea of just how bad people have it right now. In fact, they've no clue. The cost of living crisis is crushing people. Crushing their hopes. Ordinary people kept their end of the bargain, paying in working hard but they've been let down by successive govts and have nothing to show for it.

The govt need to urgently change economic course now and deliver for people, this can't continue.

[Kate Nicholl @KateNicholl]

Thinking of staff who will be very worried. I have tabled urgent questions to the Minister & sought a meeting with Ulster in relation to this. Full details yet to emerge but something @allianceparty are actively seeking.

[Competition & Markets Authority @CMAgovUK]

We’ve ordered the AA and BSM driving schools to refund thousands of learner drivers + pay a fine of £4.2m over illegal drip pricing.

More than 80,000 customers will be refunded after they weren’t shown the total price upfront when booking lessons online:

In a world where politics is built on fear – fear of difference, of our neighbours, of the future – we choose something better.

Choose Hope. Not Fear.

Join Alliance.
