Heating oil distributors should not hike prices for existing stock once there's a sniff of conflict❗

[Carl Whyte @CarlJWhyte]

I'm an SDLP member & representative, whose family were harassed & murdered by loyalist paramilitaries, and I'm now being told that my party is aligning itself with 'extreme voices in loyalism.'

This is embarrassing nonsense which no-one believes and which should be deleted.

Derry & Strabane had lowest rate of housing allocations last year

590 homes allocated, while 6,495 people wait patiently for an offer

9.1% of applicants got housed, compared to NI average of 11.5% - Mid & East Antrim and Lisburn & Castlereagh got 17.1% and 16.9% ⁉️

[Rory Farrell @rory_farrell]

A record 6,495 applicants on housing list in @dcsdcouncil, per capita we have

🔴 longest waiting list across north
🔵 highest rate of housing stress
🟢 most people with homeless status

This is a growing crisis and it is simply unacceptable that Stormont won't fund more homes 😞

Promising progress at Magee, but sustained investment needed to reach 10,000 students #Derry

[Rory Farrell @rory_farrell]

The new Templemore Sports Complex will be amazing👌 #Derry

[Rory Farrell @rory_farrell]

Really positive investment update at @dcsdcouncil today, including:

🟢 £340m for City Deal projects
🔵 £100m for Templemore new build
🟡 £175m for community projects
🔴 £20m for heritage & regeneration

Investment of over £700m led by our Council-#Derry will be transformed✊

[Rory Farrell @rory_farrell]

Good to see @SDLPlive making common sense proposals in Stormont to tackle our housing crisis

Rent controls across private rental sector will provide comfort to tens of thousands of people

While a moratorium on sale of social homes will help protect the existing housing stock

[Rory Farrell @rory_farrell]

The widespread unacceptable postal delays in #Derry were discussed at @dcsdcouncil yesterday

We have requested urgent meetings with the union and @RoyalMail management

Hospital appointments missed, bills arriving after payment deadline - people deserve much, much better

[Rory Farrell @rory_farrell]

Great to hear from @NIElectricity on its £250m Big Network Rebuild at @dcsdcouncil today

Replacing aging infrastructure, it will create a more robust & resilient #Derry power grid

The upgrade will unlock capacity needed for new housing, business growth & our journey to Net Zero

[Rory Farrell @rory_farrell]

Still no movement with widening of Buncrana Road, but we'll keep challenging Stormont decision makers

[Rory Farrell @rory_farrell]

The big #Derry lights switch-on 🎄

The DUP’s moral standard cannot be the baseline for this place. Ministers were elected to serve people and improve lives, not to coast through office without accountability.

[The SDLP @SDLPlive]

There’s real energy in the SDLP right now and it was clear at our 2025 conference.

People coming together with purpose and ambition to build a better future.

We’ve done it before. We can do it again.

The capture and detention of civilians and vessels as part of the Global Sumud flotilla breaches international law.

Israel is again placing an embargo against peaceful humanitarian missions carrying food and critical aid to Gaza.

Governments across Europe must take a stand.

[The SDLP @SDLPlive]

Stormont is back, but the Executive is comatose.

That’s why today, the SDLP Opposition have set out six clear tests, tests that any government worth its salt should be able to meet.

If they can’t, it proves what we all know, this Executive is failing Northern Ireland.

[The SDLP @SDLPlive]

🌱 The SDLP is today launching "The Road to Recovery", our plan to reverse decades of environmental decline.

🏞️ Through legislative action, investment and long-term planning we can revitalise our environment.

55 years ago today, the SDLP was founded.

From the very start, we stood for civil rights, social justice, anti-sectarian politics and unity by consent.

Join us for the next chapter.

[The SDLP @SDLPlive]

The SDLP stands with bereaved families. The A5 must be delivered. Today's ruling exposes failure at the top and this delay could cost lives.

The Executive must act now. The SDLP are calling for emergency legislation to deliver the A5.

[Rory Farrell @rory_farrell]

@Middleo50552024 That was one of the factors
