Bizarre reporting by ⁦@BBCNews⁩ - where is the mention that the Iranian Embassy published this letter on-line first? Readily available information ‘not’ reported by Aoife Moore - please correct story or this will further add to impartiality concerns bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

If the Permanent Secretary does not step in to ensure adequate electricity generation then the Sec of State should ..... to ensure our lights stay on during peak demand!

Around this time next week, engineers in Kilroot Power Station will wind down its coal fired units for the final time - & their replacements are nowhere near ready. Right now, those units are supplying 35% of NI's power; civil servants have known for a year of this looming crisis

Another example of the gift that keeps on giving- the Northern Ireland Protocol- Orders to the mainland of over a certain amount are free shipping, but not Northern Ireland, where a tenner is chucked on. Great work, rigorous implementers!

Important to remember the past so that it is never repeated. Many today have a limited knowledge of what actually happened and some try to rewrite history

The IRA were traitors to the Irish people, they were traitors to democracy and human rights, and they murdered more Irish Catholics than any other group involved in the conflict.

Ulster Unionist Justice spokesperson, Doug Beattie MC MLA has called for a root and branch investigation into Northern Ireland’s legal aid system. The accounts are qualified due to ‘Fraud and Error’ with eye watering amounts of money. uup.org/news/6552/21/B…

Professor Liam Kennedy is a profound and notable scholar of Irish history at QUB. AS a colleague of @cjhumanrights, with an office nearby, it’s very strange that the “let’s have a conversation guy” doesn’t want to have a conversation with Liam… Quite Orwellian. Via @mairiac31

Mary Lou McDonald talks about there being “combatants” on each side. She doesn’t mention the innocent people, who were anything but combatants, mown down by IRA guns and blown to bits by IRA bombs. Where do they stand in her analysis of IRA criminality?
BBC The View@bbctheview
