Cheers John🍷

An excellent piece by @davidwkerr

John Hume, a man who despite being criticised and attacked for doing the right thing, continued to do it. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Heavy hearts in the SDLP family with John's passing.

Chilling that Trump shared video w/ 80million followers of someone saying “the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.” This is more than background noise to an imploding presidency. Hatred endangers us all- esp. communities who’ve long been targeted by his dehumanizing attacks.

On the day when America traditionally honours its military, new insight into how 89 residents of Massachusetts veterans home were allowed to languish and die of #coronavirus #MemorialDay nytimes.com/2020/05/24/us/…

There is literally no circumstance in which Trump can bring himself to think about the welfare of another human being.

Having watched this, I accept that I've misjudged this man. More, perhaps, than anybody else in the world.

Hearing some further very encouraging news about indomitable Belfast lawyer Niall Murphy, who has been facing the fight of his life against #COVID19. Hope to see him back in action soon, like this successful court outing last year with journalists @trevorbirney & @Barry_TheDetail

The online abuse of Minister @RobinSwannMoH and his family is utterly despicable. He is working round the clock to try to save lives. He doesn't deserve this and all of us should condemn it.

Delighted to hand over Balmoral MOT Centre to be used by @BelfastTrust for Covid19 testing from tomorrow.Working with other Trusts on the use of other MOT centres.Testing needs ramped up & I’m pleased to play our part Help the fight back by playing your part #StayAtHomeSaveLives

A national initiative #ShineYourLight is announced for Easter Saturday, where everyone is invited to shine a light for frontline staff, healthcare workers & people affected everywhere. Public buildings, Embassies & Peacekeeping posts around the world will be lit up in solidarity.

Following a request for help from the Children’s Hospital, I want to say a huge thank you to all the schools who responded so quickly. Two full car loads of vital PPE delivered directly to our amazing health workers.

Also thanks to @nihecommunity @NIFHA for working with my dept, @CommunitiesNI to secure these measures and protecting people 👏🏻

A beautiful version of The Parting Glass from @Hozier with a dedication to all the people who have lost their lives to this virus, including the health worker who died today. #LateLate #StayAtHome

Remember when nurses had to fight for a paltry pay rise?

First @AerLingus cargo flight for PPE scheduled to leave Dublin on Sat morning, arrive in Beijing early Sun, land at Dublin airport late Sunday. Sail safe! We have got your back.🇮🇪🇨🇳 @HSELive @paulreiddublin @dfatirl @MartinDShanahan

The further restrictions of movement in Ireland announced tonight will further remind the NI public that there is still no agreed policy in NI on what businesses should stay open - and which should close Sinn Fein & DUP will be under more pressure to find an agreed public message

A short message from our ladies and men captains! #areyouateamplayer

Italian mayor addresses his citizens about their irresponsible behavior (in a very Italian way). “Doing your hair?! Why do you need this at the moment? A barbecue?! Are you kidding me? You are making a joke out of your lives!”
