🔥 January was the world's warmest on record.
🤯 And yet Labour are backing climate-wrecking airport expansion and more oil & gas.
💚 We need real investment in renewables, home insulation and public transport to bring down bills AND emissions.
We need full implementation of our Climate Change Act.

“Activism and Social Change”—a battle cry, not just a theme. LGBTQ+ warriors have shattered barriers from Stonewall to Stormont. Their courage transformed lives. Act. Attend events. Learn history. Support LGBTQ+ groups. Every action matters. This isn’t about remembering history—it’s about making it.

Lá Fhéile Bríde faoi mhaise daoibh! Inniu, déanaimid ceiliúradh ar finscéal a bhaineann le tosú úr, cúram fíochmhar don Domhan, agus cumhacht an phobail. Cibé an bhfuil aithne agat uirthi mar naomh, mar íocón Ceilteach, nó mar shiombail den earrach, tá scéal Bhríde ina chaoineadh ar ár saol.

Happy St Brigid’s Day! Saint, Celtic icon, OG eco-warrior. Her flame wasn’t kept alive alone: it took communities tending it through storms. As habitats shrink and temps rise, we need that same grit. Plant wildness. Fight pollution. Demand better. Progress shouldn’t cost the Earth. 🌱

While Britain faces cost-of-living crisis & climate breakdown, Labour's leadership just greenlit massive airport expansion. They're laughing - at our expense.

Glasgow just opened Scotland’s first Overdose Prevention Centre, a bold move to tackle the drugs crisis. It’s time for Belfast to follow suit. GPNI leader Mal O’Hara has long advocated for these centres, which save lives, reduce harm, and connect people to support. Let’s act now.

58,238 people in NI are officially homeless. That’s enough to fill Belfast City Hall’s main function rooms 67 times over.
Our plan to deliver 2,500 energy-efficient social homes yearly tackles this crisis head-on. It’s time for urgent action to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home.
