What a way to kick off the week! Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann has landed in Belfast for the very first time, and the city sounds and feels completely alive with it. Music spilling out of every pub, dancers in the streets, and a genuine buzz you can’t fake. 1/4

Yesterday, the Green Party & Queer Greens were proud to stand alongside our community at Causeway Pride. It was a fantastic day, full of joy, solidarity and resilience, a reminder that Pride belongs everywhere, not just in our biggest city. 1/4

Stormont’s Executive parties dysfunction costs lives. The Executive Office’s admission it can’t confirm funding for the second Ending Violence Against Women & Girls (EVAWG) delivery plan is further proof of this. The Local Change Fund, which supports community VAWG groups, is now in limbo. 1/7

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

Saturday night was a tragic reminder of why Pride is both needed and a protest. We stand with those affected by the Berlin Pride attack, and with the wider LGBT+ community. We call on everyone to challenge hate wherever they see it, and to help build a world where people can live free from fear.
