It is not good enough for other parties to play lip service to the disbandment of paramilitaries, @eointennyson.bsky.social has said, as the DUP and Sinn Féin voiced their support for the appointment of a Government go-between for paramilitary groups. www.allianceparty.org/not_good_eno...

UK and Irish Governments must abandon plans for engaging with paramilitaries, says @eointennyson.bsky.social, ahead of our party motion. More than a quarter of a century has passed since the Good Friday Agreement. Enough talking, it's time to disband. Read here: www.allianceparty.org/uk_and...

@naomilong.bsky.social calls on incoming Irish Government to make political reform here a high priority. See more here - www.allianceparty.org/long_calls_o...

Today, DUP Education Minister Paul Givan blocked two North Down schools from becoming integrated despite a majority of parents voting in favour. Integrated education is a cornerstone of the united community we're trying to build. The minister must urgently explain his decision.

It is disgraceful that Paul Givan has blocked two schools from transforming to integrated status, despite overwhelming support from parents. It seems parental choice is only paramount when it suits the DUP’s agenda. Why, in 2025, would any minister stand in the way of educating children together?

Flags symbolise our heritage and identity, but they can also be used to sow division, mark territory and instil fear. That's why Paula Bradshaw has launched a consultation on her bill to change how we display flags in public spaces. Make your voice heard. www.allianceparty.org/flags_and_em...

Text reads: 1. Set out the rules and guidelines. – Establish a regulatory framework for the display of emblems (including on flags, banners and posters) on lamp posts and other street furniture.

Text reads: Determine who takes them down. – Clarify whose responsibility it is to remove emblems displayed unlawfully, including paramilitary flags and posters expressing racial hatred.

The Banbridge community came together last night in memory of Karen Cummings and the 24 other women who have been murdered in Northern Ireland since 2020. We must unite to end violence against women and girls. Enough is enough.

I’m delighted that agreement has been reached to deliver a 5.5% pay increase for healthcare workers, maintaining parity with England and Wales. Our public sector workers are the backbone of our public services, and deserve to be paid fairly for the vital work that they do.

My thoughts are with the loved ones of Karen Cummings as they come to terms with this devastating loss. Karen is the seventh woman to be killed in NI this year. We must unite to say enough is enough. Violence against women and girls is a sickening scourge on our society that must be eradicated.

History will judge those who pursued a hard Brexit against the wishes of people here. The Windsor Framework provides the only viable means to mitigate its impact. As a pro-EU party, Alliance is committed to protecting dual market access and a stronger relationship with Europe.

With no credible alternatives, the Windsor Framework is necessary for political stability. Alliance has always been firmly pro-European. In a debate where all members’ votes are of equal worth, ours have made the difference in ensuring the strength of our relationship with the EU.

Softer Brexit alternatives were dismissed by those now opposing the Windsor Framework. Ironically, the DUP called it a success earlier this year. Alliance backs the Framework, not because it’s perfect, but because it’s the best choice for stability over chaos.

“The last thing Northern Ireland needs is more political instability," says @naomilong.bsky.social. That's why Alliance will vote in favour of retaining the Windsor Framework in today's Assembly vote. See more here: allianceparty.org/windsor_fram...

So-called conversion practices are torture, not treatment. These cruel practices have no place in society. No one should face harm because of who they are or who they love. Today, I’m launching a consultation on proposals to ban them.👇 www.allianceparty.org/banning_conv...

This is a pathetic move from SF, DUP, UUP & SDLP. Our plan would have reversed the cap placed on cross-compliance penalties by the DUP, and is the bare minimum we can do to tackle pollution and protect Lough Neagh. Only Alliance can be trusted to stand up for our environment.

Nikita Hand’s bravery and determination in taking this case have been remarkable. It’s hard to fathom what she and her family have been through over the past six years. I hope this outcome brings her some comfort.

Very sorry to hear of Ken Reid's passing. He was an experienced, insightful journalist and a warm, engaging human being. His loss will be felt by his journalist colleagues in UTV and beyond and by politicians of all shades. Most of all, he'll be missed by his family, who he adored.
