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
In 2022, many people voted for change. That year, the Greens lost two seats. But before that, we had already shown what determined Green politics can achieve. 1/8
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.
Alliance platformed itself on the basis of 'making Northern Ireland work'. It failed spectacularly.
Voters are asking what Alliance has actually achieved with the historic mandate they won. Under their watch, Lough Neagh has continued to deteriorate, the climate and nature crisis has deepened, and inequality has grown. 2/3
Maintaining our highest ever LucidTalk poll rating: 5%. Stormont offers sound bites and photo ops while public services crumble. Lough Neagh is on life support, tangled up by the Agri Food Sector and Ulster Farmers’ Union. 1/3
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.
A dumped car has been left in the River Lagan for years, just 10 minutes from the council chamber, while agencies pass the buck. We reported it, but instead of removal we got excuses. That’s not acceptable. 1/3
Thank you Belfast Pride! Such a great day out! See you all next year. 🌈💚🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈💪✊
This seat doesn't belong to Labour for us to "steal". It belongs to Greater Manchester. This Thursday we have a chance to run this wonderful city-region for people, not profit, by voting Green as your first preference vote. www.newstatesman.com/politics/gre...

The Twelfth is one thread in a rich tapestry of traditions across these islands, each one worth celebrating on its own terms. The tapestry doesn’t fray when it includes more threads, it gets stronger. That’s worth celebrating. 1/2
1/6 Stormont is quietly vandalising our public transport. Translink wants to cut late-night buses/trains and rip away discounts for families & young people to plug a £10m hole. That hole exists because Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has underfunded transport for years. Sign the petition 👇
Northern Ireland women deserve the same rapid endometriosis tests as England and Wales. No more years of waiting, pain and dismissal. The Health Minister must commit to rolling out Endotest and EndoSure here too - with proper staffing, funding and a clear timeline.
