If you’re comparing the invasion of Ukraine to the Protocol:

✅You’ve lost the argument.

✅And any remaining credibility.

[Michelle O’Neill @moneillsf]

Everyone must have equal opportunities in life.

The days of unionism blocking opportunities for people based on their background are gone and they're not coming back.

Change will not be stopped, we will continue to move forward to an inclusive and better future for all.

[Joe Dwyer @JoeEDwyer]

Conor Murphy delivering some home truths to the DUP benches earlier today… now is time for grown-up, serious politics & delivery not theatrical walk-outs & manufactured crises…

[Katherine Finucane @Kateymcphee]

1/ 33 years ago my Dad was ripped from our lives. The grief is compounded by those who deny us truth and justice. His legacy cannot be denied as it lives in me, exists throughout his whole family and continues in his grandchildren.

[David McCann @dmcbfs]

Expect this line to be used again and again "The DUP only want democracy when it's on their terms"

This will hit home with Nationalist voters.

A vigil took place today at Groves-O’Reilly Corner - old barracks site - to mark 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. Addressing gathering, Mark Thompson of @RelsForJustice said British attempts to introduce an amnesty for its troops & agents guilty of murder would not succeed.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Before yesterday’s Bloody Sunday Memorial Lecture at Derry Guildhall, I paid my respects to those killed on this day 50 years ago.

Their epitaph is in the continuing struggle for democracy.

Today, I announced a £10 million plan to create hundreds of jobs in arts, culture, sport and in local communities.

It will also put in place training and development for workers already working within organisations.

Creating jobs and opportunities is a priority for Sinn Féin.

[Deirdre Hargey @DeirdreHargey]

At stormont today again moving legislation on welfare mitigations, binning the bedroom tax and scrapping the 6 month rule on terminal illness. Two important pieces of legislation that impact on thousands of families & workers.

[John Finucane MP @johnfinucane]

The deliberate vilification & targeting of Professor Colin Harvey needs called out & condemned by all.

Colin Harvey is being targeted because he is a nationalist.

It is reckless & it is dangerous.

Those who engage in this behaviour need to be firmly opposed.

RT if you think 2022 should be the year when we set the date for our referendum on Irish Unity.

Worth a listen off the back of Bernadette's excellent interview last night

[Pádraig Delargy | Sinn Féin MLA @padraig_delargy]

RIP Desmond Tutu, a courageous champion of justice and freedom. 🇿🇦 🇮🇪

[Gerry Adams @GerryAdamsSF]

Had we all stuck to our respective positions there would have been no GFA. Dialogue & negotiation dramatically changed that. It can do so again. That's why An Taoiseach’s 2022 resolution should be to set up a Citizens' Assembly. We must plan for our future

[Mary Lou McDonald @MaryLouMcDonald]

The world has lost a courageous champion of justice and freedom. Desmond Tutu confronted the evil of apartheid in his beloved South Africa. He was a defender of human rights and a relentless,
outspoken voice for the marginalised worldwide. We will never see his likes again.

[Joe Coyle @joecoyledesign]

As a Donegal man who went to college in Dublin, has worked in Dublin media for 20+ years and socialised with folk from many counties, I think @JoeBrolly1993 is spot on. If it wasn't disinterest, it was worse - a snooty 'they're not really Irish...' condescension to Northerners

[Eoin Ó Broin @EOBroin]

Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year! 🎄
