A pipe bomb was left outside the SF Offices of Liz Kimmins MLA and Daire Hughes MP.

I try and frame my political discourse in a grace filled way.

Sadly, it is not always the case in today’s political arena.

Very distressing and shocking news coming from Downpatrick today.

Thoughts with all those who bore have been affected by this.

Anyone who witnessed the assault, or has any information, please contact Police on 101 and quoting reference 543 of 10/08/25.

Numerous fires across the hill.

NIFRS asking people to both avoid travelling to the hills and to remove themselves from the hills.

Given the popularity of the hills, and the destructive nature of fire, if this behaviour continues there will be a tragedy.

I noticed on my laps of Carson this morning that my new runners have an orange half and a green half.

I thought this was interesting and reflected on it for a time.

The sun har risen by the time I started and there were also crocuses which had popped up.

I was able to hand in a petition with over 6000 names, opposed to the prospect of a visitor centre on the slopes of Slieve Donard and a gondola to it, today to the Speaker of the House for the attention of the Minister for the Economy.

It’s shameful that other parties have voted against Alliance’s plan to increase penalties for polluters.

Our proposal would’ve reversed the DUP’s cap on cross-compliance penalties.

Only Alliance is committed to protecting our environment and Lough Neagh.

Northern Ireland’s family farmers need our support - it’s not just the rich and famous impacted by inheritance tax changes. Jeremy Clarkson might be better off taking a back seat on this one.
Why NI’s farmers need our support over tax changes — despite Clarkson and sneering landlord detractors
Clarkson’s Farm is absolutely brilliant. I couldn’t recommend the Amazon Prime show highly enough.

The UK Govt and must rethink the application of Agricultural Property Relief/Farm Inheritance Tax.
