It’s after 11pm and Cara Hunter isn’t holding back in Stormont! šŸ‘šŸ”„

She challenged the DUP, UUP & TUV over their bid to block legislation supporting Irish-medium education.

Irish belongs to everyone: Protestant, Catholic or neither.

It’s time to move beyond old divisions.

Its time to abandon Stormont.

Not abandoning devolved Government as some want, but moving it away from the absurd, inaccessible mauseleoum at Stormont to somewhere more fitting and more accessible.

Its part of an SDLP plan to build politics for the common good

I'll be honest: I don't care. And I'm not alone.

This place has no Budget and my constituents are fed up being told that DUP psychodrama is more important than their public services.

Is there anything more to life than post-Drumcree meltdown?

Because you wouldn’t know it if you tuned into a lot of our media - notifications today from just one outlet (before you even turn on the radio).

Teachers, nurses and other public sector workers still don't have a pay deal for this year thanks to the Budget fiasco.

And if the Executive can't agree a Budget they won't get one in time for Christmas wages and their winter fuel bills.

This should be our focus - not parades.

Daniel McCrossan had a few things to say to Jim Allister on the BBC last night.

People are sick and tired of the shouting, division and constant threats to bring down Stormont.

There are real problems facing our communities. Surely it’s time we started focusing on fixing them?

ā€œBig daddy Jim Allisterā€, ā€œReverend Gastonā€ and Jamie Bryson, Daniel McCrossan had a few home truths for the DUP at Stormont yesterday.

But beyond the exchanges, Daniel’s message was clear: It’s time to move beyond division and focus on issues affecting people’s everyday lives.

An incredibly tough, but exceptionally rewarding career and helping to make a real difference in your community. I would urge people from all backgrounds and especially under-represented groups to apply. A successful service will be a representative one @SDLPlive
As a Board we support and encourage people from right across the community to apply to this latest campaign!

After the toxicity, today the SDLP Opposition gets the focus back to what matters: people's lives and services.

And in a first, I've an op-ed in the @News_Letter explaining how we build together rather collapse into divison.

Delighted to be there šŸ‘‡

Both relief for ordinary people on the Garvaghy Road and sadness that our politics got dragged into this fiasco for weeks.

The work of tackling division becomes more urgent - but most urgently, setting a Budget and offering people some sense of leadership.

Pleased that Drumcree march can’t & won’t take place. It should never have got permission + it must never do again.

This has been a deliberate & wasteful problem, creating tensions & resource issues for the sheer hell of it.

Time to get back on track & to drown out the wreckers
