The DUP is in no position to lecture anyone on human rights, equality, or the imposition of values, says Eóin Tennyson MLA.

We will take our evidence on RSE from the NSPCC, the Children's Law Centre, and the Children's Commissioner, among many other experts in the field 👇

It is fantastic news that Lurgan Model Primary School has received approval from the Department for Education to transform to integrated status.

I am hugely grateful to the parents, pupils, teachers, Governors and staff who have driven this progressive step. 👏🏻

Super proud of my party colleagues in the Assembly today. In the face of misdirection and dog-whistle politics from opponents, they have stuck to the evidence.

Particular shoutout to Eóin Tennyson MLA for his honest contribution which showed the unfortunate reality of current RSE.

So proud of my colleagues who spoke with conviction & knowledge - in particular Eóin Tennyson MLA who bravely shared his experience as a young LGBT pupil & how our failure in this area impacted him. Shameful treatment from the DUP benches which I will be writing to the speaker about.

Very interesting how many of those opposing our motion on RSE would not allow interventions from Alliance. Almost as though they know their arguments don’t stand up against the recommendations of CLC, NDPCC, NICCY, CEDAW, Gillen Review, NIHRC, Family Mediation NI, Positive Life..

Delighted that the UK Government have agreed to include NI in their bill to overturn convictions as a result of the #Horizon scandal.

This is an important step closer to NI Sub-postmasters getting justice for the wrongs they have suffered.

Relationships and Sexual Education is one of the most powerful safeguarding tools against abuse and coercion.

That’s why we need a standardised approach so all children have access to the same information they need to have happy healthy relationships.

Alliance’s Environment Spokesperson John Blair MLA praised the DAERA Minister’s plan to ban disposable vapes, which aligns perfectly with this year’s Earth Day theme of plant vs plastics.

Thanks to pressure from Naomi Long MLA and Stephen Farry MP the UK Government have agreed to include NI in their bill to overturn convictions as a result of the #Horizon scandal. This is an important step closer to NI sub postmasters getting justice for the wrongs they have suffered.

The DUP’s “let kids be kids” campaign is a disgusting dog-whistle to the far-right.

Information is power. Access to comprehensive, factual & age-appropriate RSE is the best defence our young people have against abuse and coercion - be it in childhood or later in life.

Every child should receive inclusive, evidence-based, and age-appropriate RSE, says Kate Nicholl, ahead of Assembly debate

On Monday, Alliance is bringing a motion calling for inclusive, standardised, and age-appropriate Relationship and Sexuality Education in schools across NI.

RSE is a safeguarding tool, and every young person deserves guidance on how to build healthy, respectful relationships 👇

Really delighted to see another new business opening its doors in Portadown this week. 👏🏻

DejaVu Portadown is an amazing space with a focus on artisan sreeet food. Well worth a visit!

Wishing and the whole team the very best of luck!

The Ladies with Letters have led a determined campaign for answers and accountability on behalf of the 17,500 women affected by the cervical smear review.

I am so grateful to these women for meeting myself and Sorcha Eastwood MLA.

We will speak up until public trust is restored.

Tonight I voted for the Second Reading of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill. Only Northern Ireland MP to do so.

There are strong public health reasons for the limitations in this Bill, including helping people have the freedom from addiction.

Thanks for the big team that came out today to support my re-election campaign in North Down.

Alliance continues to provide the clear progressive alternative, and a focus upon delivery.

The Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel must be condemned. Diplomacy is now key. The cycle of provocation and retaliation must come to an end. Violence only brings further suffering, and creates instability. A wider regional conflict must be avoided.

Out to support our Stephen Farry MP - North Down are lucky to have a man of his integrity & intellect as their representative & we’re going to make sure he’s re-elected! 💛

The community in Banbridge has been left in shock by this senseless act of violence. There is no place for guns on our streets.

I’m grateful for PSNI’s swift action in making an arrest and would appeal for anyone with information to contact police immediately.

Great news for all connected to the school. northernirelandworld.com/news/people/lu…
