A wonderfully theatrical walk around the Cathedral Quarter this afternoon with Little Amal, as she was introduced to city customs like the Belfast bap, linen and traditional music. Little Amal (The Walk) #Belfast24

Pleased Translink have created a dedicated walkway at Great Victoria Street/ Glengall Street after I raised concerns about pedestrian safety during pavement upgrade works. The area will look great when it's completed, but it's essential to keep people safe while work's ongoing.

Should schools teach about gender identity?

The government says they shouldn’t, but 60-61% of people say sex education should teach that people can be transgender or non-binary (including 66-67% of parents)

Been a particularly grim time in the politics of asylum & immigration, with the Rwanda bill & the Gov’s failure to have a real strategy of efficient processing & safe routes. The arrival of ‘Little Amal’ in Belfast was timely & a good antidote to Twitter & Tory talking points

Welcome to Belfast, Little Amal!

Chris Hemsworth and I do the Thor “Did they though?” face when somebody mentions aliens building the pyramids.

A very special moment to be there as Little Amal (The Walk) arrived in Belfast. A powerful and important message - that we seek to ensure our city is a place of sanctuary and welcome, particularly for children, in a turbulent world. #Belfast24

A week or so after the UDA nailed a man to a fence in Bushmills their flags are being put up across south Belfast.

Department for Infrastructure needs to finally act and get these flags down as a matter of urgency.

How are people supposed to have faith we’re serious about addressing that - the drug dealing, the loan sharking - when their logos are able to fly undisturbed for months at a time?

.Little Amal (The Walk) arrives in Belfast this evening 👏

📍The Big Fish / Lagan Weir Quay
