As certain as night following day. Unionism doesn’t have the power, influence nor numbers anymore. Its entitled mindset- encouraged by our local media- fuels unionist frustration & motivates nationalist voters.
The first test of public opinion since the #Drumcree dispute. @Moreincommon_ poll Sinn Féin 30% (+5) DUP 18% (+1) UUP 13% (nc) TUV 11% (–1) Alliance 9% (–2) SDLP 9% (nc) Ind / Others: 4% (-1) Green 3% (-1) People Before Profit 1% (-1) Aontú 1% (nc) (+/- changes since July)

I don't know where to begin with this level of ignorance. This is Carla, having purchased a painting from an exhibition. Delighted to find a 'special place in my office' for a scene of riot police at Drumcree, forcing a march down the road. This is why people are fleeing unionism

Completely overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since my statement. As I continue my treatment and my recovery now know that I simply have to raise more awareness around mental health in the future Best part of 6 weeks before the UK Championships starts and all being well I’ll be in a better place by then but for now it’s just one day at a time Thanks again for all your support. It’s meant so so much to myself and my family

The egos have landed in Portadown tonight. 🎪 But one thing remains crystal clear - you're still not getting down the Garvaghy Road! The residents stood firm for their community and for their rights. And we stood with them. No forced marches. No going back. ✊

The whole narrative of guns, bombs etc is being exposed as fraudulent. Shame on those that made those accusations. They tried to make a sensitive issue a very dangerous one.
This chart on intelligence is very important in context of today’s court case around Drumcree / Garvaghy Road. It’s worth noting that my sources say that PSNI intelligence was separate to the intelligence of MI5 who unlike PSNI intel- were on the Garvaghy Road, in person. That intelligence is unreleased but my source says it significantly differs from that of the PSNI @BelTel

I can now confirm after speaking to officers; that despite a firearms risk assement from the PSNI. Negotiators who were sent into the crowd and the air support unit were not briefed of any firearms risk. They are asking me why they weren’t told if one existed. @BelTel
I can confirm, despite the PSNI assessment that dissidents may have had ready access to weapons on Garvaghy road, no surveillance was launched to follow potential weapons. There was no contact with security services and no counter terrorism specialist firearms teams were put in place at any point. Serious questions now being asked of the PSNI that if they believed weapons were on the road why they did not follow that belief @BelTel

Police also said it was possible that loyalist paramilitaries who supported the parade would go to Portadown and that public disorder at Drumcree Church was possible @rtenews
