Musk as a trillionaire- anyone as a trillionaire- is a grotesque economic, moral and political problem. We cannot have individuals with that level of power, whatever they might have achieved.

Some of the absolute best in our society being bullied, threatened and terrorised by some of the worst.

What sort of world is this?

[Danny Donnelly MLA @DannyDonnelly1]

I am absolutely disgusted to hear that a nurse from another country was chased by masked men into work the Ulster hospital. This is sickening, cowardly racism and deserves nothing but utter revulsion from everyone in NI. I hope the PSNI can identify and apprehend them.

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

I know this is going to annoy literally everyone but I'm going to say it anyway:

Whether it's Brixton 1981, London 2011, or Belfast 2026; rioters, looters, and arsonists always try to claim noble political motivations for their thuggery.

But it is always bollocks. The Brixton riots weren't really about 'racism'. The London riots weren't really about 'austerity'. And the Belfast riots aren't really about 'public safety'.

There's a reason this specific kind of lawlessness, thuggery, and arson only takes place in the summer months. Because it's not about politics. It's about adrenaline. It's about fun.

It's a form of grotesque entertainment for a specific type of dimwit with a high propensity to violence.

Don't defend the dimwits who are literally torching their communities for laugh. Who are picking fights as a form of entertainment. Who are no more righteous in their anger than your common or garden playground bully.

Up with this we must not put. From left nor from right. It's the same low IQ, temperamentally violent bullshit every single time.

Not sure the man who did an ‘Up the Ra’ video for £50 is best placed to determine what the “vast majority” of the people of NI want

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Earlier today, the family of the Belfast attack victim said they "do not want this terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostilities".

Sky's @BethRigby asked Reform UK leader Nigel Farage about their comments ⬇️

Everyone who went on to the streets last night is to blame for the violence to a lesser or greater degree.
Every.
Last.
Person.
The details of locations were posted online not by political parties/reps or bona fide community groups.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable.

There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere.

It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it. Those responsible will feel the full force of the law.

I’ve spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe. I’ve also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation.

Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.

Belfast riots : Immigrant family rescued by Police after rioters set their house and car on fire while the family was still inside.

This is an attempted murder.

Those poor kids will live that trauma.

[Phil Mynes @pmynes]

Truly despicable.

The pogromists ever primed to answer the dog whistle. God help the families cowering in fear in their homes tonight.
Not one of these masked thugs gives a damn about that poor man attacked in north Belfast last night.

People letting their pet cat roam free is partly to blame for the “massive decline in birds around the country”, a conservationist has warned.
