@DarranMarshall There is the alliance party tbf

"We are the only centre-right non-sectarian party here." Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris - when asked what makes the NI Conservative party different to the other local parties. #GE24

Get The Brits Out To Vote! This election is of huge importance for Northern Ireland and for Unionism. Do not stay at home. Get The Brits Out To Vote on 4th July.

@alanbouse @R4FcMuK7k8IhUKz The main reason why southerns are choosing to fight for the British is probably because the British army takes you more places, you do a lot more compared to what the Irish army does which is mainly peace keeping. Simply put there is more excitement in the British army.

@R4FcMuK7k8IhUKz The irish defence forces have high standards such as no criminal records leaving cert etc. That the British don't so that is one reason people join the British army

@Ogra_SF You have been trying for a 100 years, you haven’t gotten it yet so you probably will never get it because too many nationalists are comfortable with the status quo.

Play your part. Déan do chuid.

@JamieBrysonCPNI And yet she was able to get elected are you weren’t

Linzi, you’ve been in politics for 5 minutes. Your contribution has been to endorse the Irish Sea border, and Casement Park. I think the people of North Down will be more interested in Alex Easton who has been around decades serving the people, and who opposes the Irish Sea border.

@Michael42683163 @Ireland_Votes But that was because of Brexit and no Stormont. Plus the fact in recent elections the SDLP have been leaning more towards republicanism which has seen a backlash as a result alliance has seen a surge. Thus I think there is a good possibility of the DUP taking the seat.

@William14757819 @Ireland_Votes Unlikely It was a landslide in 2019

🗳️ | NI #GE24 Forecast We’ve been running MRP algorithms and here’s how it looks in on week 1 of the campaign. We’ve characterised party strength in each constituency — and 7 are too close to call — meaning that there are 2+ parties within each other’s margin of error. #GE24

@AmandaFBelfast @jjlowry @duponline The DUP mustn’t like you lol

@jjlowry @duponline Does it, aye. Maybe stick to law, Joel. If you don’t understand the importance of a free press to democracy, and British and Irish people, maybe you should pipe down.

I’ll keep highlighting this when it crops up. A wide range of Belfast-based media outlets which cover politics were not informed about the @duponline #GE24 candidate announcement. Half a dozen or so outlets were invited to the DUP HQ event. Also, taking your message to every part of NI would be easier if more journalists were invited @GRobinsonDUP @NUJofficial @NUJBelfast #freepress #mediafreedom #mediaaccess

@Michael42683163 @Ireland_Votes Idk, if there were a seat for the DUP to gain it would be south Belfast given boundary changes, the date of the election and there being a return to Stormont means if there is a good Unionist turn out then they might take the seat. Regardless it would be close.

@Ireland_Votes I would agree with most of this. South Belfast though is safe SDLP.

@JamieBrysonCPNI Why don’t you negotiate with the eu and British government if you are so confident .

“unionist and loyalist critics…accuse the DUP of misleading people by claiming the deal it struck to return to power-sharing removed the Irish Sea Border. If ‘The Donaldson Deal’ was so good, then why is Northern Ireland still subject to EU law?” rte.ie/news/analysis-…

Pleased to meet with Elie Pieprz and representatives of the Israeli Defence and Security Forum.

Sinn Fein voters endorsing a hard border, who’d have thought it? Life comes at you fast.

#Sindo Poll 🇮🇪 Do you believe there should be checkpoints at the border with Northern Ireland to limit the number of asylum-seekers coming from the U.K.? 52% of Sinn Fein voters said yes 49% of Fine Gael voters said yes 47% of Fianna Fáil voters said yes

@RedBSierra It’s not right to be making money of what happened. That would be like loyalists selling kingsmill cups, it would be disrespectful and wrong.

This feels like it’s in really bad taste to the victims of the attacks.

@Harry__Faulkner Is this a joke ?

This is the new logo of the Canadian Army... They are trying to demoralize you.

@Tipler1983 Pushed for whilst having the republic remain an independent country. All of this can be done and there are logical coherent arguments in favour. Ntm under Fine Gael it is are best chance of getting that.

@Tipler1983 I don’t think it would realistically ever happen but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a United ireland under British rule all but in name. There are logical arguments of establishing a common currency area and establishing a common nhs system. Having a common military could be ….

Today is the day Northern Ireland was born. Maybe one day we can celebrate a day in which we finally unite. We need it now, more than ever.

@BrianODowd5 @BorderSolution_ That literally solves nothing. All your doing is moving the dingy problem to the Irish Sea. All migrants will have to do is cross the channel and make there way across the Irish Sea to NI then cross the border.

@BorderSolution_ Nope. You can't close a 500 mile border but you can put passport controls between NI and GB fairly easily. Of course the Tories would never betray Unionists and do that would they 🤣

"Taoiseach Simon Harris has said that Ireland will not "provide a loophole" for the migration challenges in other countries" He is going to close the land border? 😯

@rtenews What’s to stop a migrant who gets deported to the ni from simply crossing the border again at a different crossing. The border is long and there is so many different crossings unless you man the border there is nothing to stops migrants from crossing again.

Emergency laws will be brought to Cabinet on Tuesday to enable the Government to send asylum seekers back to the UK. Minister for Justice Helen McEntee is expected to discuss a new returns policy with her British counterpart in London on Monday | rte.ie/b/1446053

@JimAllister The North Antrim Consuela strikes again. This man has nothing to offer unionism. He has no plan and is only costing unionism seats.

With some media mischief making trying to create division, I’m looking forward to this rally and our unified message against the iniquitous Protocol.

@UTVNews Well no shit Sherlock, the IRA was a sectarian death squad.

BREAKING - The shooting dead of 10 Protestant workmen at Kingsmill in Co Armagh in 1976 was an “overtly sectarian attack by the IRA”, a coroner has ruled.
