Colum Eastwood

I also really want to commend his bravery in not just talking about his own mental health challenges, but taking a difficult decision that puts his health first. That’s not always easy but I’ve no ...

Really sorry to hear that Gary Middleton is stepping down as a Foyle MLA. Over the last 15 years we’ve disagreed on a lot but we’ve also worked together on common challenges in the city and he’s be...

The situation is deteriorating just when the international community is planning to wind down the UNFIL force next year. That’s a big mistake - we need governments to invest in a peace process in t...

In an act of extreme bad faith, Netanyahu is already refusing to honour the ceasefire in Lebanon hours after it was announced. Israel has already killed 1500 people and displaced more than 1.1 mill...

Garbhán’s right! And Derry’s lovely!

So sorry to hear that Rory O’Hanlon has died. As Ceann Comhairle, Minister and TD, he made an immense contribution to our island and our peace in difficult times. Thinking of his family, his collea...

@PaulGosling1 Completely unacceptable if that’s what has happened. A facility like this would make Derry a global leader in an emerging technology and deliver good quality, low carbon jobs. I’ve wr...

Devastating, but what a brave group of men who gave everything for their country. We haven’t felt hope like that for a a long time. Onwards @IrelandFootball

And it’s maybe a good reminder to the Paisleys of the world that no amount of sucking up matters when it comes to hard political realities…

Those of us who believe in change need to factor that into the prospectus we’re building, the vision we’ll set out and the campaign that we’ll run. This was a light hearted moment during St Patri...

One of the things that we don’t often talk about is how constitutional change needs international support - or at least as few barriers as possible. The US administration will, whether we like it o...

Joking aside - it is interesting that even President Trump, possibly the least likely of any modern president, seems to have a natural predisposition toward Irish unity.

Trump’s a Lundy now too I see

This is fantastic!

They can’t even do us one favour! #SixNations

I’ve written to the Economy Minister outlining the political, economic and historic reasons why Derry needs this investment but ultimately it’s about fairness. Young people here deserve the chance ...

To be clear, I negotiated this commitment with the British and Irish governments, it was a part of the deal that restored Stormont. Ministers in Belfast have no room to wriggle out of it now. Peopl...

Expanding university places in Derry to at least 10,000 isn’t a pledge that can be brushed under the carpet and people here won’t be fobbed off. I was shocked to read the commentary from Stormont y...

The collective, deliberate amnesia shared by many in British politics and media is stunning. It’s as if Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. never happened. The uncontrollable chaos that has been the last 25 y...
