I know 11 years sounds a lot, but for raping 2 young girls I think it is still too lenient. He waited till the last minute to plead guilty so he would have received up to 25% reduction in sentence. I think this is wrong. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/fo…

It’s impossible to know the truth as there is no independent verification. But using food as a weapon of war is wrong & not in keeping with the LoAC. We need proper, UN run humanitarian aid corridors with a monitoring force such as OSCE type organisation bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

My comments on the devastating Maguiresbridge Incident 🙏🕊️ My thoughts are with the families of those affected and with everyone in this rural local community as they come to terms with this tragedy.

This is the scene this morning on the Drummeer Road in Maguiresbridge, where a shooting incident has occurred. I understand at least one person has died at the scene. The Air Ambulance was tasked shortly after 8:30am @BelTel belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…

Rape carries a potential life sentence. The victims ALWAYS have a life sentence of trauma. Rapists RARELY get the life sentence.

This is an example of how deterrence works & why 🇮🇪 is an easier option for 🇷🇺 Now move forward to a time when Moscow chooses to compromise either 🇪🇺&/or🇬🇧 undersea infrastructure 🇮🇪 will be the low hanging fruit & will not avoid the obvious consequences

A closure is currently in place on the M12 following heavy rainfall. The country bound lane is currently impassable at Portadown (junction 12) due to heavy rainfall, and we would ask that motorists come off the motorway at junction 10. An update will be provided in due course.

Great to watch the British and Irish Lions beat Australia yesterday in Pollock Park - home of Lurgan Rugby.

Maybe the biggest issue with the bands being in Portrush, whilst tourists from all over the world are in the town for the golf, is that the tourists might actually enjoy the bands. And we can’t be having tourists enjoying themselves. Not whilst listening to loyalist musicians.

The ‘McDonnell gang’ 🤣🤣🤣 I suppose it’s more original than the various pic-n-mix IRA drug dealing groups. It’s all the same wasters supported by the same people peddling the same message but really just lining their pockets. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/ne…

👏👏👏…… well done.

🚨🗣 NEW – GAA Comber: 'My vision of the Union? Let kids play sport and leave them alone. I’m disappointed in this.' 🎥🎤@uuponline MLA and former party Leader @BeattieDoug speaking to Chief Reporter @jamesgould23. 🚫It comes after the cancellation of a cross-community sports…

Great to see a Lurgan College man take over as head of the @RoyalAirForce 👏👏👏

“children are not responsible for the actions of their parents” These kids should not be held accountable for failure of GAA to address issues of concern. Allowing kids of all religions & backgrounds to play together is what builds tolerance & understanding. That’s my unionism

A public body's stance against former police officers investigating legacy cases is 'highly political and unhelpful' - @BeattieDoug says NIHRC chief Alyson Kilpatrick said an ICRIR investigator's position is 'untenable' given his former police role newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/…
