I know who I would trust more to get it right for the people
This weekend, members of the Citizens' Forum on Housing will gather in Derry to finalise and ratify their recommendations for the NI assembly, UK and Irish governments, on ways to address the Housing crisis.
Citizens' assemblies work, I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of the process.

We submitted our response to the NI Homelessness Prevention Bill.
We support extending prevention support from 28 to 60+ days, but it’s time for a full, independent review of homelessness law in NI. Our response here - bit.ly/3HexyJn

The @niassembly is debating household water charges today. We know @niwnews is underfunded and needs almost £2b to improve its infrastructure... meanwhile houses can't be built & waterways suffer. Hopefully MLAs and @JohnODowdSF can find a better way ahead

So, this Saturday (17th May) is #InternationalDayAgainstHomophobiaTransphobiaAndBiphobia
In recognition of this, #Alliance have raised a motion in the #NIAssembly to acknowledge the event.
However #DUP wanted to add an amendment that recognises and accepts the #UKSupremeCourt ruling on gender.
