Unfortunately, due to work and family commitments, I won't be able to make it, but I hope everyone has a great time at the conference. Ultimately, I hope the party benefits and grows from events like this.
The Social Democratic Party is gathering in Scarborough this Saturday, 31st October, for its annual Party Conference. SDP Chair @BaloghStephen said: “In these days of insurgent party politics, a question always hangs over challenger parties: are they strong and well founded enough to survive the departure of their leader and main inspiration? It now falls to us in the SDP to show, through the election of a new Party Leader and beyond, that we are far from a personality cult with a party attached."

Supremacy and Supremacist seem to be Sinn Fein's buzzwords these days.
The comments by DUP leader Gavin Robinson today were arrogant and supremacist. The DUP is consumed with their own internal leadership troubles and divisions. They are in turmoil. The days of domination and supremacy are over. The days of treating people like second class citizens are over. There will be no going back. Not now, and not ever. I, as First Minister, will be at the Assembly on Monday morning, along with Sinn Féin’s Ministers, to continue our work. We will keep showing up every day for people.

Beautifully put. If you're not making British lives better as a British politician, what on earth are you doing?

Working people deserve fair wages. Families deserve affordable homes. Our communities deserve safe streets and public services that work. Politics must be about delivering practical solutions, restoring trust, and putting the national interest first.

Politics is broken, but it doesn't have to stay that way. ​From North to South, East to West, the Social Democratic Party is putting public interest ahead of self serving agendas. ​Stand with us 🇬🇧 @SDPhq sdp.org.uk/?recruiter_id=561…

🚨BREAKING: Israel has detained an SNP MP and a Greens MSP who were attempting to enter Palestine
54
Lara Bird and Kate Nevens serving their constituents by being detained in Israel while attempting to get to Palestine. Another SNP & Greens circus. Scotland continues to deteriorate while our MPs & MSPs are off pretending to be heroes somewhere else.

Great to see a healthy campaign for @SDPhq leadership. I have emailed @eleanorrofe @WilliamsAdamUK & @moore4sdp with some questions specific to me. I have in mind who I'll be endorsing but felt it only fair to ask all 3. Regardless of the outcome, they all have a part to play.

“The riots in France are yet more evidence that the global liberalism pursued by successive British and European governments has been a catastrophic mistake. In a few generations, our political class has committed a nation-altering blunder of epic scale, and in doing so, it has surrendered the hard-won achievements of centuries."

Shameful from @RhonddaBryant bowing to Republican mob rule. We see you, dangerous precedent set. Why should people abide by the law? Once again the Loyalist people of Northern Ireland are trampled on by the British government. Take note, never Labour.

This intervention is a very welcome development. This cannot go on indefinitely. Not only costing the public purse an inordinate amount which we can ill afford, but more importantly, the people of the Garvaghy Rd deserve & NEED to get back to normality
Welcome this development, the provision for which the SDLP has been highlighting throughout this crisis. Time for Garvaghy residents to be allowed to return to normality, for Stormont to get on with addressing public services & all of us get back to the work of reconciliation.

Interesting you should count Catalonia, Galicia and the Basque Country as separate from Spain. A fan of partitioning a country now are we?
France. Italy. Belgium. Sweden. Catalonia. Basque Country. Germany. Spain. Galicia. MEPs from across Europe have signed a letter in support of the people of the Garvaghy Road, calling for any attempt to force an Orange march through the community to be stopped. Support for the people of the Garvaghy Road is growing across Ireland and around the world. Go raibh maith agat to Sinn Féin MEP Kathleen Funchion for helping to secure more solidarity for the people of the Garvaghy Road on the international stage.

The land of make-believe. Orangemen on parade midweek while schools are on? I always find in strange that people go to such lengths to fabricate stories for attention on social media.
The first time I ever heard the word ‘fenian’ was when I was six-yeas-old when I was trying to go to school as a mob of elderly men in orange sashes tried to stop me, as the police officers laughed along. The hatred of Catholics runs deep.

Of all the voices speaking on Drumcree over the past week, I've been particularly impressed with the passion and delivery of @JBuckleyMLA who I have no doubt will be a key figure in Unionist politics for a very long time.

On this day in 1912, my Great, Great Grandfather and Great, Great Grandmother joined many thousands more in signing the Ulster Covenant & Women's Declaration. Both came from the village of Donemana and it fills me with pride. Ulster still says No.
