More than £10m has been spent on MLAs’ expenses and allowances in a single year - despite Stormont being mothballed. Taxpayers have forked out around £30,000 every day.

As our politicians prepare to once again pull down the Assembly NHS casualty units warn they're full. Over 200 children have no post-primary school allocation. Families rely on food banks, and local business is on its knees. Wise up, and do the job we're paying you for. 😡😡
I have a huge amount of sympathy for those involved in the travel, aviation and hospitality industries.
Ignored, forgotten and patronised over the last year. Your work matters to millions and so many of us appreciate you.
New: understand ministers have agreed dates for hospitality to reopen in NI:
Outdoor licensed and unlicensed premises from 30 April
Indoor hospitality including pubs and hotels from 24 May
They’re indicative dates and will need to be assessed again nearer the time
@RobinSwannMoH if you’re going to make sweeping statement like this it needs some action to back it up. Ruining the livelihoods of travel agents who cannot forward plan etc.
Grim, grim stuff from the Met Police tonight, casually using physical aggression against women who were protesting peacefully against that very thing.
Unfathomable decision-making.
Lots of people are finding it tough right now. If you’re one of them, please talk to someone. You are not alone.

My girlfriend just said "maybe for valentines we can go to a new park, one we've never been to before" and I have entered what I can only describe as a state of hysteria
Boris Johnson insisted tonight his Government had done "everything it could"
I dare anyone to watch this film & not ask how we ever allowed this criminally incompetent & negligent Government anywhere near office
It should be shown on every news channel
This is what 100k people looks like. Each person was unique, they lived and loved and were loved in return. Their deaths leave family and friends bereft. #COVID
Many will have seen this today, but, one of the greatest, and most shocking front pages I’ve ever seen. All the children who died in Bessborough Mother and Baby Home; from the foundation of the State in 1922, all the way to, unbelievably, 1994. A desparate stain on our history.
Yes, it is the third time I’ve posted these numbers. No, it won’t be the last time. Lockdown is really tough but you are not alone.
