Cllr Micky Murray

Thank you to everyone who came along tonight to cheer me on as I take up the role of Lord Mayor of Belfast. I am honestly so honoured to have been given this opportunity to represent our great city. I won’t let you down.

Nuala McAllister wouldn't be silenced on the Katie Simpson case. When others looked away, she stood her ground. She didn’t care if people in high places were upset with her. That’s what serious public service looks like & we desperately need more of it. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/comment/opinio…

Malone Road Spar 👌

Schools are held together by Special Educational Needs Coordinators but they’re at breaking point. Workloads are soaring and we risk losing the people our children rely on. Alliance is bringing this for debate in the Assembly; we need action to reduce their workload.

@SorchaEastwood @JordanL74473385 I’ve never had a bag of either 🙈

Never mind the politics, what one you having? 😂 don't tell me neither or you're banned lol

The appearance of tricolour flags in a mixed housing development in South Belfast shows why we need legislation. Using flags to “claim” areas is antagonistic and disrespectful. I will be bringing forward legislation to ensure authorities can remove such displays.

Sorcha Eastwood absolutely DESTROYS Labour's utter failures in the handling of the Mandelson fiasco 🔥🔥🔥

@SorchaEastwood 👏

When a constituent of mine is overpaid their benefits, it's clawed back- no matter how much it'll hurt them. When you, the Prime Minister, apparently unknowingly appoint a man, twice sacked from Govt, a man who maintained a friendship with a convicted Paedophile, a man bloody well nicknamed the Prince of Darkness and it blows up in your face- nah. It's everyone else's fault but yours. It's always one rule for them and another for everyone else!! Disgusting! But I'll keep fighting for you! 💪🏻

@AmandaFBelfast Disgraceful comments Amanda

Right lads don’t make me regret allowing replies on tweets again. Keep it courteous. Keep it legally sound. Keep it country, or something. Thank you/GRMA

Sorcha the Scorcher strikes again! The popular Northern Irish MP Sorcha Eastwood takes Keir Starmer down again, following her excellent takedown at last week’s PMQs.

Sometimes you've got to stand up and speak truth to power ✊️ This government have no idea of just how bad people have it right now. In fact, they've no clue. The cost of living crisis is crushing people. Crushing their hopes. Ordinary people kept their end of the bargain, paying in working hard but they've been let down by successive govts and have nothing to show for it. The govt need to urgently change economic course now and deliver for people, this can't continue.

Unanimous support tonight for my motion on pilot drug & pill testing facilities at major events in Belfast. This is not about enabling drug use, it’s about protecting people, providing better information, and reducing harm. A positive step forward.

Every year, other parties put out statements decrying the state of Lough Neagh. Then, when the time comes, walk into the chamber and vote against the action needed to tackle its decline. Alliance is talking the talk and walking the walk on Lough Neagh. @JohnBlairAPNI

@StripeyMiata I’ll have to go on an adventure!

@micky_murray The Argory near Dungannon has quite a few.

I absolutely love Monkey Puzzle trees, so much so that my friends send me pictures of them. There’s quite a few dotted about, two of my fave ones are at the entrance of Lisburn Rd Library. Where else would you have a local high street w/ so much historical and mature greenery?

It’s disappointing, but not shocking, to see short-term lets hiking prices as much as 134% during the week of the Fleadh in Belfast. irishnews.com/news/northern-…

@jonnyharvey11 @CurbOur @naomi_long Blame where blame is due, the Exec isn’t perfect, but actually the fault here doesn’t lie with them. The bigger picture here is that people will be hurting over this and we need answers, not more bickering.

@micky_murray @CurbOur @naomi_long Uh huh! Class 👏

The community sector are getting hit with huge cuts later this week from the UK Govt. Jobs will be lost. Services will come to an end. Orgs will be battling for scraps. Increased pressure will follow. Politicians shifting blame about for political point scoring serves no one.

@jonnyharvey11 @CurbOur @naomi_long “It’s the fault of the Labour Government” That’s exactly who is at fault here, Naomi was responding to the SDLP shifting blame to the NI Executive.

@micky_murray @CurbOur @naomi_long This Naomi? Maybe you don’t follow her on here or something 😬
