@TUVonline Speak to your puppet master, he championed it

Speaking up for you on the Protocol - uniting with other Unionists to stop the motion, calling out the nationalist & republican Alliance & reminding people of broken promises #TUV #TimothyGaston

@JBuckleyMLA It’s called accountability, Army are not above the law. They will be grand if they operated with in it.

As the IRA attempt daily to rewrite the history of the past, I’m sure they never thought they would find such a willing partner as the UK gov. The Northern Ireland Troubles Bill leaves those who defended us at the mercy of terrorists and their revisionism. Clonoe proves that.

@squinteratn @mooreholmes24 😂😂😂 but he doesn’t fear Irish unity😂

@mooreholmes24 That’s 3,748 posts on Irish unity in a fortnight, Mooreso. You think about it more than all the members of the army council and the Alliance Party put together. Did you ever think of starting a hobby?

The more Sinn Fein are rattled, the more they talk up Irish Unity. It’s a tried and tested diversion. As hollow as it is unimaginative. The Great Distraction. Under pressure on immigration, no casement, and bowing their head at British cenotaphs, better roll out the classics!

@JimAllister Some people *

Last night in the Commons I reflected on what remembrance means to me and the people of Northern Ireland #JimAllister #TUV #wewillrememberthem

@PaisleyJnr @uuponline @AndyAllen88 That’s why the paint the curbs every year, Equality scares these people the most, if their identity was so strong Irish signs wouldn’t bother them🫣

@uuponline @AndyAllen88 Equality is not weaponising anything. This is exactly why the North is a failed bastard statelet. If my native tongue shakes your identity then surely your own identity is as weak as water.

East Belfast MLA Andy Allen speaking on the Irish Language Street Signage Policy in Belfast City Council. “The Irish language has been weaponised… signage is being railroaded through… it sows division and it does a disservice to the language” @AndyAllen88

@squinteratn @mooreholmes24 For a man who keeps saying it’ll never happen, you never stop talking about it🫣 50 +1

@mooreholmes24 Stop going on about a united Ireland, Mooreso. It’s all you ever talk about, ffs.

A United Ireland will happen by…

@mooreholmes24 Let’s have the vote then?

There’s a growing habit among Crotty and others to paint everything Britain ever did in Ireland as evil or deceitful. Every few months someone claims to have uncovered a “new revelation” proving the same tired story. It’s nonsense. The history is complicated, but it’s not the schoolboy cartoon green-tinted version they keep pushing. Partition didn’t happen because Britain wanted to divide and rule. It happened because a million people in Ulster refused to be ruled by Dublin. They were British then, they’re British now, and they had every right to say so. The creation of Northern Ireland recognised that reality. It was a compromise, not a conspiracy. On the Second World War, while tens of thousands of Irishmen volunteered to fight Hitler, the Dublin government stayed neutral - largely because they wanted to reinforce another difference from Britain. While the free world fought against the tyranny of fascism the Republic of Ireland stayed on the sidelines. They refused to let Britain use their ports while British sailors were dying off their coast. Churchill’s frustration wasn’t propaganda. It was perfectly reasonable. And the Primary School level understanding that the Troubles were simply British aggression is pure revisionism. The Army went into Northern Ireland in 1969 to restore order and peace; to protect Protestants and Catholics, not to persecute them. What followed was 30 years of IRA terrorism, answered by violence that scarred both communities. Mistakes happened, but the British state didn’t start the war. They broke the IRA and stopped it. Northern Ireland remains in the United Kingdom because its people want it there. Every poll, every election, every agreement confirms it. Unionism isn’t clinging to the past. It’s standing for a future based on stability, prosperity, and respect for both traditions. Abolishing Northern Ireland does not have support despite how many desperately try and manufacture momentum for it. So yes, keep digging through the archives. But the truth is simple. Northern Ireland’s place in the UK isn’t the result of deceit or domination. It’s the free and democratic choice of its people. And that is how it should stay.

@TUVonline The mans terrified of a border poll😂😂 worried about benefits😂 does he think benefits don’t exist in Ireland? They keep saying the people don’t want a border poll then let’s vote and get it out of the way🫣

Unionism shouldn’t engage in the Nationalist fantasy of an all-Ireland #TimothyGaston #TUV

@JimAllister @ConHome @UKLabour 😂😂😂 Jim quoting the Windsor framework🙈 the irony of it.

Read my @ConHome article out today on the Irish Sea Border impact of @UKLabour not renewing the Movement Assistance Scheme +how this will promote more trade diversion in violation of Windsor Framework Article 16 Safeguards + S 46 Internal Market Act bit.ly/3IUNJMH

@51Batman @KilclooneyJohn Jumped? So what is your argument? Increase Irish teaching? Let’s see your stats backing up your comment then. Most people get English and maths to tick a box also?

@b4nty @KilclooneyJohn See Gary you jumped to conclusions there. I never suggested stop teaching Irish. Indeed I’d argue against that. All I’m saying is it’s wrong to suggest there is increasing interest in the language. Stats would suggest otherwise despite record levels of funding. Same on RoI.

I have absolutely no interest in the Irish Language nor has it any role in my family background. In contrast I realise that almost 100 per cent of NI people speak English fluently. However Irish Language has an increasing interest of many NI people and is part of our history

@51Batman @KilclooneyJohn Most kids don’t like English or maths either should we stop teaching it? Based on your theory ?

@KilclooneyJohn Is Irish of increasing interest? Genuinely.. most young people don’t want to learn it. Schools that teach it most youth hate having to learn it. They don’t care for it, they learn enough to pass the exam, tick the box but to suggest it actually means anything to them isn’t true

@newsoncool @duponline @GRobinsonDUP Did he speak about conns water?

🚨🗣NEW: Gordon Lyons says he never believed Michelle O’Neill was “a First Minister for all” and voices “anger” at the Army jobs fair row. 👥The Army has pulled out of a jobs fair in Derry following opposition from nationalist councillors. @duponline Leader @GRobinsonDUP described the move as a “lack of leadership.” Mr Lyons told Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 that recent events reinforced his view that Michelle O’Neill does not represent everyone as First Minister. Asked whether he understood sensitivities given the history in the city. He said he has instructed officials to seek legal advice on whether the decision is in line with equality duties. Adding that this does not impact on relationships within Executive and how there will always be challenges. Sinn Féin has been approached for comment.

@mooreholmes24 Did Brexit require cross community support?

The Belfast Agreement is already in tatters. The cross-community consent principle was shredded by the Protocol, and those now climbing onto their soapboxes, gaslit by Farage, not only turned a blind eye but cheered it on. Yet here we are, being lectured about keeping the Agreement’s corpse untouched. Spare us the selective outrage. The Agreement only ever seems to matter when it suits your interests. The moment it stood in the way of the Protocol, you were happy to discard and misapply it. The reality is the Agreement no longer carries the authority it once did, and nor should it. It should not be allowed to hold Northern Ireland, or the United Kingdom, back any further.

@JimAllister Fear of an end of unionist dominance is the problem, equality is seen as giving something up by unionists. They held all the power in the North and then days are over.

TUV warns again of the powers of Irish Language Commissioner tuv.org.uk/tuv-warns-agai…

@Alex732086931 @TeamUnion_UK It’ll always be a show of weakness and insecurity, like a cat pishing on a lamppost.

@TeamUnion_UK Raise the colours for what? What is it with the obsession to hang a 🇬🇧 off every lamppost. Does it make you feel like Churchill reincarnated? Patriotism isn’t measured in how many flegs you can tie to a pole. Asking for a friend, but if you reply, try using your brain.

England is starting to resemble Northern Ireland at the Twelfth with this flag raising campaign. Gotta love the patriotism 🇬🇧🇬🇬

@conorg2305 @premierleague Settle down sir, refs always right😂😂

Absolute madness how this wasn’t given clear penalty. @premierleague refs and var so inconsistent it’s a joke

@SeanBra33633981 Brought to us by @duponline and @JimAllister👏👏

@mooreholmes24 That’s the problem unionism can’t adapt to a new reality🙄 they see equality as a concession to the nationalist community and think they are giving something away. Control of the power stations are over. 50+1 isn’t that how it works?

Since launching What Next? at Brownlow House on Thursday, the genuine interest, positive responses, and constructive feedback have been overwhelming. It is proof that unionists and loyalists are not only willing, but eager, to engage, reflect, and proactively progress. Anyone still wanting a copy of the report, please get in touch.

@JimAllister Anyword on the important stuff like waiting lists etc
