Once again, vulnerable children are paying the price of inaction and parents are left scrambling for alternatives that don’t exist. Alliance has submitted a petition to recall the Assembly and ensure the Health and Education Ministers get it fixed.

Nature is for all of us, but sadly, the warning signs in NI have been visible for decades 🚨 Minister @andrewmuirni.bsky.social is determined to change that, but we all have a part to play.  That's why he is asking for your views on our first Nature Recovery Strategy🌱 Link below:

"If we’re serious about ending VAWG, then we need to be serious about how this technology is being misused. Our law has to keep pace with reality; it’s the non-consensual creation of sexual images. That is abuse." -@katenicholl.bsky.social. Read more: www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/...

BREAKING: The Assembly has backed our call for the Secretary of State to begin institutional reform. No single party should be able to hold Stormont to ransom. This is a historic chance to move beyond division and dysfunction, and towards politics that works for everyone.

Our institutions cannot remain stuck in 1998. Society has evolved, and our institutions need to as well. Enough is enough. Alliance's motion today is calling for Stormont to be reformed so we can end dysfunctional decision making and deliver for the people of NI.

AI offers many opportunities for society, but it also poses many risks and challenges. @katenicholl.bsky.social's new group on AI seeks to bring people together to engage in discussions about the responsible use of AI and its evolving nature, helping us enhance jobs rather than replace them.

People in mental health crisis are being left with nowhere to turn but the police. It’s bad for the PSNI and worse for those who need care. That's why Alliance is calling on the Health Minister to act so people can get the right support from the right service.
020
Alliance Party @allianceparty.bsky.social · 30/11/2025
The PSNI has become a service of last resort for people experiencing a mental health crisis. That’s why need the Health Minister to take action so anyone facing a mental health crisis gets the right support, from the right service, at the right time.

Today marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, with the theme 'No Excuse for Online Abuse'. Sadly, 1 in 10 women and girls in NI have experienced online violence. We urgently need stronger regulations in the online world to help end VAWG - @connieegan.bsky.social

People have had enough of endless culture wars. While some parties seek to distract and divide, Alliance is focused on building a brighter, more united community for everyone, says @eointennyson.bsky.social

Everyone deserves to remember loved ones with dignity and respect, but never in a way that glorifies violence or deepens division. Our motion today calls for an audit of memorials on public land and action to remove paramilitary imagery once and for all.

Alliance Party @allianceparty.bsky.social · 10/11/2025
Alliance is calling for action to ensure that memorials in NI are lawful and respectful. It’s time to stop glorifying terrorism and acts of violence. Let’s create spaces defined by respect, not rivalry, and show that memory in NI can become a bridge, not a barrier. -@paulaballiance.bsky.social

It's extremely concerning that our Education Minister attended a trip funded by the Israeli state, knowing the atrocities its government has inflicted on Gaza. This is utterly shameful, and the Minister and his department have serious questions to answer.- Nick Mathison MLA

It’s time for an independent Environmental Protection Agency. 🌱 People deserve clean water, thriving nature and beautiful landscapes. From Europe's largest illegal dump in Mobuoy to Lough Neagh, the case for an EPA is clear, says @andrewmuirni.bsky.social

Every day the cruel two-child benefit cap remains in place, children continue to suffer. The UK Government has been in power for well over a year, and there is simply no justification for allowing this policy to persist any longer, says @SorchaEastwood. It's time to scrap it.

No one should ever have to choose between heating and eating. That's why we're calling on the Communities Minister today to propose higher and more energy efficient housing standards🏠 By doing so, we can put more money in people’s pockets and make our environment cleaner.

1 in 5 women experience mental health issues either during or after pregnancy, yet NI is still without a Mother and Baby Unit, says @sianalliance.bsky.social. NI can no longer be left behind. Perinatal mental health care is essential, and mothers and babies must be supported.

Paramilitaries are a poison on our society.  The Secretary of State’s appointment of a “go-between” to negotiate with them risks legitimising their coercion and criminality.  It’s time they were off the backs of our community and out of the murky shadows of our politics.

- Stop bankrolling them.

While Alliance fought for more funding in talks with the UK Gov, the UUP argued for a corporation tax cut that would have left us with less. “Doug hasn’t heard us calling for more PSNI funding, not because we haven’t, but because he hasn’t been listening,” says @eointennyson.bsky.social.

Parents need certainty on school uniform costs. A cap is the clearest way to obtain that. The Bill the Education Minister has brought forward today risks having zero impact on costs. We have put forward amendments which will hold the Minister to account, says Nick Mathison MLA.
