Claire Hanna

An exciting, surreal, weekend as I become leader of the SDLP. We’re building something new, and we’re a party for people of any background who share our vision of a centre left, anti sectarian new Ireland. Take a look at our new party broadcast, shown on UTV & BBC tonight.

Great catchup with @ClaireHanna this afternoon after her visit to Encirc in Derrylin. The SDLP are keen to support local businesses in their plans for the future. Thanks to Cherry Tree Home Bakery for their brilliant service & tasty traybakes 😋

SDLP Leader Claire Hanna MP signed the book of condolences at Maguiresbridge Primary School this morning, in memory of Vanessa, James and Sara. A horrific loss that has stunned and heartbroken communities across the island.

Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…

SDLP MLA @CaraHunterMLA was targeted in a vile deepfake video during the 2022 election. Since then, she’s led the campaign to have this abuse recognised as a serious crime. Deepfake content is now on the table to be criminalised in NI law, with a public consultation open.

It’s hard to find words for the horror in Maguiresbridge. God rest their precious souls. The shock for the community and their wide circle will be huge and lasting, as for those in emergency services who were at the scene.

The genocide in Gaza is moving into a horrific phase of mass starvation and death. There are almost no lifelines left, as people are dying without food and families are being shot while queuing for aid. The UK and US governments aren’t just watching, they are complicit.

“It’s sensical”. My good friend Siobhan backing Philomena’s Law with the best explainer. Proud to be leading this cross-party campaign to deliver justice for more than 13,000 survivors of Ireland’s Mother & Baby Homes living in Britain. It’s within our gift to make it happen.

This really is unbelievable. Cork falling apart, Tipperary soaring, driven on by their youngest players. What a match!!!! @BBCSPORTNI @thomasniblock

Fantastic to hear from @ClaireHanna on the “Fractured Communities” panel at @MacGillSchool this morning - speaking well about NI’s young people & the “new Ireland” conversation (@AwakenHub)

This is what I had feared when I first raised concerns about the pausing of eel fishing back in May We in @SDLPlive will continue to seek compensation for our fishermen.

South Belfast & Mid Down MP Claire Hanna visited our Belfast store recently to donate preloved goods in support of our #ReuseRevolution campaign. This summer we’re encouraging everyone to donate and shop to help fund our lifesaving cardiovascular research ❤️

Back in March in response to @ClaireHanna the SofS set out the proposals on lowering the voting age.

🚨🗣NEW: Cancellation of cross-community sports club with GAA branded 'sectarianism, bigotry, and nonsense.' 🎤Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 speaks to @SDLPlive Stormont Opposition Leader @MatthewOToole2. 🏐North Down Cricket Club in Comber had planned to host a cross-community…

Pathetically short sighted and bigoted. Forcing children to live on Ulster's narrow ground lest they enjoy - God forbid - holding both a hurl and a cricket bat. We are inching towards a more shared future, and some people are petrified of it.

Well done. We should all support this. Francesca Albanese has bravely promoted peace in the face of intimidation. Please retweet.

SDLP Leader @ClaireHanna MP & Foyle MP @columeastwood have nominated Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, for the Nobel Peace Prize, recognising her fearless voice for Palestinian civilians and demand for justice.

Attended the National Day of Commemoration at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin this morning. We gathered to reflect on those irish men and irish women who lost their lives in war and in the service of peace around the world. As Deputy Mayor of Belfast, it was a privilege…

Just over two weeks to go! Join us at Breastival in the Park for an amazing free day of fun, celebration, exhibitors, music, food and dancing! Hope to see you there! #WorldBreastfeedingWeek
