If devolved governments reject UK’s return to work strategy, will they also be rejecting the UK Govt’s generous funding package to pay furloughed workers? Or, do they want it both ways?

BBC Newsnight behaviour tonight appalling. Early in the evening they booked me as the local MP to appear to discuss Ballymena situation. Then, they cancelled me, but still run the story, referencing me but denying me a voice, while giving 2 GB MPs their say and an unelected Alliance MLA!!

The UK can sell steel to the US tariff free but has to pay EU tariffs within its own country. When will the Prime Minister stand up for the United Kingdom? #JimAllister #TUV #PMQS #Brexit

I’ve raised with Speaker’s staff the need to fly the Union flag at half mast on Parliament Buildings, as elsewhere in devolved regions, to mark the passing of HRH Prince Philip. Let’s have some respect, Stormont!

Shameful that today Stormont failed to fly the national flag to mark this special celebration of VE Day. An act of utter disrespect to those who fought and died for our freedom. First wouldn’t illuminate for Victims’ Day, now won’t even mark VE Day. SF rule in action.

Would Biden ever tolerate Texas following Mexican laws, with trade barriers to the rest of USA? I think not. So, he needs to jettison his Irish republican bias and get real if he wants to be constructive. His comments confirm that the Belfast Agreement is only for nationalists.

When four fully armed terrorists go out on a murder mission, that mission includes their escape plan. If the continuing threat posed by such fully armed would be murderers is neutralised, then that is a service to the public to whom they are a danger.
Today we had another illustration of the coronial system - which Labour is pledged to continue - putting the security forces, but never the terrorists, in the dock!

Northern Ireland is sovereign UK territory, not sovereign EU territory, so the UK, not the EU, will decide single market and customs union issues. Time for UK to put EU in its place.

Prime Minister, I’ll tell you what I’ve had enough of - YOU and your conniving to foist your rejected deal on the nation. Now Tusk tries to add to the blackmail. Leave means leave.

Wonderful night of Ulster culture in Portrush tonight. Enjoyed by huge crowds, despite the puerile attempts of anti-unionists to demonise the parade. What a weekend Portrush is having!

Of all the hundreds of speeches I’ve made in the Assembly, the one when IRA Commander McGuinness died is the one I felt was most necessary in deference to the thousands of victims of his IRA. If I could be remembered for only one speech, that would be it.
Watch and share.

Though our paths in politics seldom crossed, my perception of Seamus Mallon was that while of unyielding nationalist conviction his opposition to IRA violence made him a constitutional nationalist worthy of respect. Condolences to his family.

What am I missing here? 30+ people gather in apparent breach of COVID Rules, PSNI arrives, abuse follows and a public order arrest is made - but with no regard to due process a PC is suspended and all talk of lawbreaking swept under the carpet? SF, of course, still not satisfied.

As Dublin & EU kick off to try and strangle at birth UK’s rational border proposals, they should remember if No Deal it will be them who will be erecting Infrastructure to protect their Customs Union and Single Market. So much humbug from EU & Varadkar.

Varadkar enters irony free zone in telling BBC U.K. Govt not ‘even-handed’ over Protocol. Just how would one describe Mr Varadkar’s partisan, anti-NI campaigning to cut us off from our biggest market and divert trade n/s to benefit of ROI? Duty of Govt to restore integrity of UK.

A man who buried his young wife of 33 on Sunday with 25 mourners, asked me why a terrorist godfather mattered so much more and why it is one law for him and another for SF. I can’t tell him - can you Chief Constable?

Let the media, SF and Alliance demand what they will, there can be no surrender on the Union-dismantling Protocol or any implementation through Stormont. Protocol or Stormont - that’s the choice.

Noting the hypocrisy of some who call vehemently for the PM to resign over covid breaches, but who continued to serve with Michelle O’Neill after her participation in mass breach of Covid rules at funeral of terrorist Storey.

So POTUS says of Windsor Framework “it's going to help to ensure that all the people in Northern Ireland have an opportunity to realise their full potential," - unless you’re a unionist who wants to be a full part of the U.K. rather than in an EU colony ruled by foreign law & court.

Thanks to all who supported my Private Member’s Bill today. Though voted down by the pan-nationalist front of Alliance, SDLP and SF, you all took a strong stand in support of innocent victims and the elevation of victim-makers.

Today’s judgement by the Supreme Court is a telling contrast with the innocent victims of the IRA who never enjoyed a right of appeal against the IRA’s summary decision to murder them. Still no justice for them!

When Varadkar says he doesn’t want any Customs variation between ROI & NI, it is the same as saying he doesn’t want NI in the UK. Naked republican aggression, as ever.

The Chief Medical Officer has publicly stated that the R figure is low enough to justify relaxations in the restrictions. The NHS has not been overwhelmed. The surge did not happen. The Nightingale has been stood down. Our economy is on free-fall. What are we waiting on?

The fact that the EU’s legal threats involve action against even the existing ‘grace periods’ illustrates both how vengeful and malicious the EU is and its desire to bring into full force the economy-wrecking Protocol. It cares nothing for the people of NI.

Who does this threat issuing foreigner think she is?
"If Britain wishes to Brexit who are we to stop them? But they won’t take the North with them and they’re not going to wreck the Irish economy and upend our peace process."

What an absurd position for Govt: admits no exit from Backstop, but proceeds on basis that those who demanded the Backstop (EU) will one day let them out. Crazy. This is not Brexit, thus is craven subjection.

What a worldwide laughing stock our Remain PM has made the UK. What was the point in asking the people if PM and ilk determined to defy the people’s vote. Their selfish political elitism is crucifying democracy.

Acquittal of Soldier F
Statement by Jim Allister MP:
“The acquittal of Soldier F is most welcome, but raises the fundamental question of why this veteran was put through the ordeal of the last few years, given the self evident inadequacy of the ’evidence’!
“The PPS was right the first time in declining to prosecute, but wholly wrong to succumb the second time. Just as the Court of Appeal is now shown to be wrong in its determination.
“It is probably too much to ask, but all, including those who have agitated for years on this matter, should now accept the verdict of Not Guilty in respect of Soldier F and allow him to live in peace.”

PSNI now discrediting Coronavirus Regulations by declaring no action over flagrant breaches at City Hall. Yet, I think of the hounding of a man wanting to walk his dog at Portrush strand. Such selectivity aids the law falling into disrepute.

While the ‘terror fest’ in West Belfast disgusts all but Provo acolytes, the complicity of Belfast City Council in funding such an event cannot be ignored. Given equally offensive outbursts in previous years, the Council - and other funders - knew what they were facilitating.

Truly shocking scenes of Hamas murder squads terrorising Israelis and celebrating their gruesome murders. Some scenes not dissimilar to the IRA Casement Park murders of the Corporals. Same genre of terror. Israel will rightly respond in defence of its citizens.

Refusing to squander £400m on Casement is the right decision. From a government which has raided pensioners’ winter fuel fund it would have been unconscionable to do otherwise than pull the plug.
Let’s hope it is fully pulled and there will be no side deals to give preferential funding to the GAA, considering neither rugby or football got central government funding.
GAA greed has caught up with them as they belligerently refused to increase their paltry £15m contribution but expected government to bail them out to the tune of hundreds of millions.
Instead the government will, foolishly, waste millions on the Finucane Inquiry - maybe republicanism should have better targeted their demands!

Even a humiliating climbdown by EU will not erase the lesson that the Protocol is but a one sided EU tool with no concern for NI in its DNA. Protocol must go. Unionists must not permit its resuscitation.

Starmer’s recognition of Palestine is inescapably a reward for terrorism, compounded by any lack of requirement for the release of the Hamas held hostages.
Demands were made of Israel, but none of Hamas!
Now, there can be a full blown embassy in London with all the privileges and immunity that such offers to Palestinian activists.
Meanwhile Hamas can feel validated by not even having to surrender a single hostage!
This is yet another folly by our out of touch government.

If SOS thinks cutting MLA salaries will cause Unionists to roll over, then, I trust he will be gravely disappointed. I’ve no quibble with a salary reduction; until he does so I will happily donate the percentage he plans to remove to the Supreme Court fight against the Protocol.
