Inspiring service of remembrance at East Belfast Mission at which @REVBBA reminded us that today is about both remembrance and hope for and in the future.

We had our plaque of remembrance on display on which there are recorded the names of those who served in the UAD. Does anybody know what that is?

Absolutely disgusted to hear about this potentially racially-motivated attack. I hope Mutasim knows that the vast majority of people in East Belfast are proud to offer a place of safety, sanctuary and welcome to all.
A man has described the “terrifying” moment his east Belfast home was attacked in what police are treating as a “racially motivated hate crime”, as he admitted he no longer feels “safe in this house or this area”. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

So delighted to share in this moment with my wonderful colleague @fionamcateer
.@fionamcateer sworn in as High Sheriff of Belfast. "It’s so important that women in particular feel empowered to enter public life and make their voices heard, and that comes about by having women in these positions." Read more: allianceparty.org/mcateer_sw…

Delighted my colleague @fionamcateer spoke about this at Council. Often the work of youth workers who do street outreach is not heard about but is so vital.
Attending full council tonight. I put on record my thanks for the youth workers in East Belfast @WalkwayCommuni1 @ledleyhall Bloomfield community association,Short Strand and all community facing organisations for the work they did during the unrest in lower Newtownards road.

Great news for Belfast
I’m absolutely delighted that we’ve been successful in our bid for £15m of PEACE for vital capital projects in Belfast. This will transform our city & delivery projects such as an LGBTQIA+ Hub, Access to the Hills, Annadale Open Space, Distillery St redevelopment & so much more!

#Undertones at the Telegraph were just brilliant. I did wonder though how many bands have to cut their set short to be done by 11.

Gone. I'm just gone.
This is Annie. She was surrendered to a shelter at 19 years old in poor condition and given just a month to live. After Lauren Siler and Lisa Flores heard about the pup, they decided to make the last months of her life the best…

Like so many scams, this looks so genuine. Thank you for making people aware of this @AMcCracken_
Hey @sseairtricity looks like someone is using your brand to #scam people out of their money. Happy to provide details.

This is massive. I loved working with Claire when she was with youth@clc. She will be a brilliant representative in and for Killultagh.
And we're off! First Alliance Councillor of #LE23 elected, in the Killultagh DEA of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council. Welcome Claire Kemp. #AllianceWorks

I'm a massive fan of both Linda and Jason. Both of them do so much work uncovering the rich and diverse culture of the place I love to call my home - East, East, East Belfast!
I couldn’t let this go since my name was mentioned in the article. Disappointed that Anne Smyth/TUV would attack a local history project in a cheap attempt to win votes. Wait ‘til she reads my book chapter on East Belfast and the Easter Rising…!! belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

The good people of Balmoral deserve hardworking and compassionate councillors - @TrBrk and @micky_murray are those councillors. I look forward to working with them as we continue to serve South Belfast.
⁦@micky_murray⁩ & I have pounded pavements, knocked doors & had some good conversations on the doorsteps. Thanks to everyone who has stopped to talk, thanks to the fab team who have supported us - it’s all over to the voters now. Vote Alliance in Balmoral tomorrow!
