Were she alive, Lady Thatcher would be six months from her 101st birthday. She died at 87, exceeding the average expected lifespan, and outliving the provisional IRA, which died long before she did.

A really fantastic event this morning at the Elk in Toome, raising money for the @TheStrokeAssoc. Hosted by Dick McKeague and family. Amazing breakfast and music with a huge turn out. Lovely to get chatting to so many great people. Well done to all 👏

For the Irish republicans on here - Hugh Torney of the INLA was 100% an MI5 agent and in bed with the British. It’s not been said enough. Given information on Gino Gallagher. Also given information on Gerard Steenson that led to Torney being able to kill him up off Springfield.

Given the seriousness of the circumstances surrounding Michelle O’Neill’s recent reckless conduct, and the damage it has done to the operation of our joint office, I have withdrawn agreement to attendance at tomorrow’s engagements in Glasgow. This follows on the back of stopping separate planned engagements, including with the President of Ireland, Catherine Connelly over the last number of weeks and I have not agreed further activities or events. I do not take this action lightly. The situation surrounding the First Minister’s recent conduct remains extremely serious. There is significant anger, hurt and legitimate public discontent arising from her actions. These concerns cannot simply be dismissed or minimised. This is an exceptionally serious matter, particularly given the responsibilities of the office she holds and the importance of public confidence in the rule of law. Of further concern is the First Minister’s continuing refusal to recognise or meaningfully acknowledge the depth and legitimacy of the discontent caused by her behaviour. Her approach has contributed to a significant deterioration in confidence and in the working relationship necessary to discharge the responsibilities of our joint office. Northern Ireland will not miss out. I have requested a separate meeting with the Prime Minister to ensure Northern Ireland’s interests, including the urgent budgetary and funding challenges facing the Executive, continue to be represented directly.
