How many more racist attacks will it take before NI Executive stops making excuses and starts protecting minority communities? Broken promises, half-built homes, and ignored hate crime reforms are putting lives at risk. Watch the truth they don’t want to face. #NIPolitics #EndRacism #Accountability

This is what hope looks like. 💚

Bill Ackman, once a Trump supporter, now warns that Trump’s trade war is destroying business confidence. Yet, Emma Little-Pengelly & DUP chooses to align with this failing leadership. 6C deserves better judgment. #Stormont #NIPolitics #DUP #PublicServices #HealthCrisisNI #DUPfailures #Trump #MAGA
