The French police have just illegally stopped me and my friends, despite us holding press credentials and working as bona fide journalists. They’ve also seized my gas mask, which I believe is an attempt to obstruct our ability to report freely. So much for freedom of the press.

The French police are still holding these lads for the "crime" of documenting the invasion of the UK.
Admin post. Today is an incredibly difficult day for five friends of mine Ay Audits, Steven Cridland, Dec Lea, Ash Denzil, The patriotic Biker who have been arrested in France and are now being taken through the court process. After spending nearly 24 hours in custody, being held in cells and facing an extremely difficult experience, they are now going straight into court. It’s hard to comprehend how exhausting, frightening and overwhelming this must be, particularly when they have had so little time to process everything that has happened. Today, I’m hoping the proceedings are fair, that their voices are properly heard, that they have access to the legal support they need and that they are treated with the respect every person deserves. Thinking of all five of them and their families today. Sending strength to them all.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

When Deirdre Hargey screeches from her sanctimonious pedestal, The family and friends of Robert McCartney are re-traumatised. 21 years after that abhorrent murder, @DeirdreHargey still refuses to explain her actions (or lack thereof) on that fateful night.
Today’s decision by the Parades Commission not to allow an unwanted orange march down the lower Ormeau Road is the correct one. Sinn Féin will continue to stand with local residents. There is no going back.

Some people are under the impression that only elected ministers can do the job efficiently and effectively. Seems to me the opposite is the case. Most MLAs can’t see past the next election.
We all know the financial fixes needed here. Water charges 🚰 Higher uni fees 🎓 Reformed hospital services 🏨 No free stuff without revenue raising 🚌⚕️ But nobody can get re-elected carrying out these policies. So we stumble around and hope someone else will pay instead.

Police will arrest ANYONE they consider to be an organiser or giving support to offenders. Not just the placard holders. I am loving this new robust approach to terrorist fans 🙌
Anyone planning to attend a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in the vicinity of the US Embassy on Saturday, 31 October will face arrest as part of a robust policing operation. Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act following its proscription in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in June 2026.

An illegal migrant boat has just left France for England 7:30 AM French time The French lifeguards attempted to hand over life jackets to the waiting illegal migrants and had the audacity to ask me to move away, as they wanted to do it secretly and not be filmed At one point during the crossing, a lifeguard was very close to aiding a migrant onto a boat, another chaotic crossing

I just identified and chased a people smuggler from the boat onto the beach with the gendarmes, and they had opportunity to arrest him and they did not. I got so close to him while running. I could’ve tackled However, I’m sure they would’ve arrested me instead The footage should be incredible

A woman on a flight to Belfast says to a passenger wearing a niqab: "Can you come on this flight with that on your face?" Instantly branded a racist, then hounded by some Muslim man wanting a reaction! Questioning a face-covering garment is about a cultural practice, security, or social norms; open disagreement is treated as hate. Practical concerns get shut down, opinions are policed, and people are told they can’t question or disapprove.

Detectives from the Terrorism Investigation Unit are conducting searches in north Belfast, as part of a proactive investigation into suspected terrorism offences. A number of properties have been evacuated as items have been located: orlo.uk/SGip3

It feels like this has just been ignored and hasn't received appropriate media attention. 'High grade police intelligence indicates that dissident republicans have now secreted firearms in and around the Garvaghy Road area' @AlexKane221b @NewtonEmerson @Saraita101

Ah! My Member of Parliament who refuses to sit in the House he’s elected to, complaining about others not being able to attend an event. No one has inflicted economic sabotage on the people of this place more than the Shinners.
Sinn Fein MP @johnfinucane said the @duponline is inflicting economic sabotage by preventing FM Michelle O’Neill and dFM Emma Little-Pengelly from attending an economic event in Glasgow with the UK PM Andy Burnham today.

It will be the case that @thePPSNI Code for Prosecutors is going to be poured over very soon. ppsni.gov.uk/files/ppsni/202… Focus will also be drawn towards Stephen Herron, Michael Agnew, Marianne O’Kane, Peter Lundy and, of course, Naomi Long as serving Justice Minister.

We’ve just arrived at our hotel in France, only to find a protest outside calling for the legalisation of undocumented migrants. Paris is even MORE chaotic than London.
