A magical night at the Titanic Slipways Festival of Marching Bands, organised by Belfast Bands Forum as part of Fleadh Cheoil. As dusk fell, the Loyal, East Belfast finished the event with The Sash to a roaring reception. Culture. Mutual respect. Proud of Northern Ireland.

It was clear yesterday during the debate on the minimum age of criminal responsibility that the Alliance, Sinn Fein & SDLP parties did not understand the law change they were proposing. I revealed the PSNI would not even be able to take forensics from suspects of serious crimes.

Yesterday, I was pleased to support a bill that permits girls to wear trousers in schools if they wish. This is basic common sense. I don’t believe a man should force a girl to wear a skirt against her & her parents wishes. The DUP should have supported this & it could have be been addressed through the new school uniform guidelines, but wasn’t.

Mid & East Antrim Borough Council have used a Noise Abatement Notice to stop my constituent practicing his Lambeg Drum; he now faces a £5k if he drums. I’ve written to the Director of Environmental Services pressing for an immediate review of this action.

I was asked by Claire Hanna MP at the Northern Ireland Affairs Select Committee on Wednesday about my actions in relation to the Petition of Concern, the minimum age of criminal responsibility debate and democratic legitimacy in Northern Ireland. Bad laws damage legitimacy.

I reflected during my interview on Nolan Live that the people in Northern Ireland would despair at listening to politician’s criticising others efforts to promote Northern Ireland and drive prosperity for all our people. Pretty point scoring is not what our people deserve.

Clip View From Stormont . Instead of being unable to set a budget, we should be showing fiscal responsibility & then with credibility making a case to the government for NI to reduce corporation tax and pilot a reduction in VAT for hospitality & tourism to transform our economy.

I made a statement today in the Assembly outlining previously unknown details about the incident at the Police Ombudsman’s home. Serious concerns exist about her fitness for office & her security clearance. There was immense public interest in favour of making this statement.

When reality collided with ideology I was simply abused. Under the proposed law change - If a male 1 day less than 14 years old upskirted a female teacher/pupil; the victim would be told he hadn’t committed a crime & the phone couldn’t be seized as evidence even if he denied it.

Let’s hope that 2025 is the last year a pupil in Northern Ireland can be denied the right to wear a coat to and fro school. Progress has been made. I’ve had a lot of feedback whilst I’ve been raising this issue from parents & pupils. #Practicalpolitics

Today I spoke in the Assembly chamber about the dreadful assassination of Charlie Kirk. We are all too aware of political violence in Northern Ireland - I challenged some of my Assembly colleagues to end the narrative that violence can ever be justified.

Apologies for not getting back to the people who’ve contacted me. I’m in a remote location with poor signal. It will be the honour of a lifetime to serve the people of North Antrim as their next MLA; I won’t let them down. North Antrim 🥩 on the BBQ. 😎Ulster Unionist Party

In yesterday’s Sinn Fein motion proposing tax raising powers, I highlighted the failure of many politicians to promote our economy. We’ve record low unemployment, a highly skilled workforce & world class sectors such as fintech, agri-food & cyber security.
