A clip from my conference speech on why I love Northern Ireland. Our exceptional talent, achievements & enormous potential deserve to be championed like never before. Let’s challenge those who call us a “basket case” by showing the world just how much we have to offer.

Today we remembered the 18 soldiers murdered at Narrow Water 47 years ago. Their service & sacrifice must not be forgotten. We stand with all victims of terrorism. As we build a brighter future, we must never allow history to be rewritten or terrorism to be excused or glorified.

Part one of my speech on the Matter of the Day - the Sinn Fein, Plaid Cymru & SNP manifesto signing exercise in Cardiff. The event is part charade & part circus. We are stronger together in the United Kingdom and it’s the people of Northern Ireland who determine our future.

Great news: the flags stolen from the Somme memorial in Ballymena last month have been recovered from Londonderry & returned to the 12th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles Memorial Association. Cllr Rodney Quigley & I did an appeal & vital cross community work delivered a result.

The Taliban has banned women from playing cricket and yet there wasn’t a whimper from rights organisations or other political groups when Cricket Ireland hosted the Afghanistan men’s teams for friendlies. Other international teams have refused to do so. My video last month 👇

Sinn Féin created the “Ooh, ah, up the ’Ra” chanting problem through their Disneyfication of brutal IRA terrorism. They have a responsibility to call it out clearly and help bring it to an end. Terrorism was never entertainment. Victims matter. From Nolan Show yesterday 👇

UUP’s agriculture lead Robbie Butler has secured an AERA Committee recall tomorrow at 10am to demand answers from Minister Muir on the cull of 51 cows in Fivemiletown. Full accountability is essential. Our farmers produce the best food & care for their livestock -they’re outraged

Sinn Féin are having a wobble after the PM confirmed a border poll is off the table. On BBC Talkback, I made the case directly to Deirdre Hargey: the Union makes us safer, more economically secure and better placed to prosper. A confident case Sinn Féin cannot answer.

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.

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.

Once again yesterday, Sinn Féin ran Northern Ireland down. Theyy’ve called our home a “basket case” & worse. The reality is very different: a highly skilled workforce, world-class agri-food, superb tourism & success far beyond our size - from sport to film production. Proud of home.

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.

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.

Congratulations to everyone celebrating A-level success today. If you didn’t get the results you hoped for, remember: life isn’t a straight path. We must also tackle the brain drain. In this video, I explain what one Ballymena A-level student told me & and what needs to change.

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.

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.
