In 2016 Jeffrey Donaldson is alleged to have raped a woman in Westminster. In Nov 2017 he and other MPs were photographed in the Prime Minister’s office discussing how to tackle abuse and protect staff bringing complaints forward following allegations of sexual harassment at Westminster.
Given the serious issues raised today concerning Jeffrey Donaldson and allegations of rape in the House of Commons, I made a Point of Order in the House tonight highlighting this. It would be absolutely remiss of me not to raise. It is vital that victims and survivors are seen and heard and encouraged to come forward.

Ex staff begging to be paid so we don't fall into poverty is not "harassment". This is a disgusting statement to put out. To blame ex-staff when there clearly wasn't the money there anyway. We still also have no news on when our pension contributions will be paid
The Canary will be closed for the foreseeable future. As of today (Monday 19 October), the Canary will be closed indefinitely. After multiple attacks this year, from Lloyds debanking us to former employees spreading malicious lies on social media, the situation has become unsustainable, both financially and operationally. After 11 years, we take this action with deep sadness and regret. The extent of the lies, defamation, and harassment by ex-staff - coupled with the constant attacks by the state and those who’d see us destroyed - has become too much. However, it is not over. This week, we will publish what really happened at the Canary and push back against the vicious campaign against our team and us. We may be down, but we’re not out yet.

This afternoon I got my double flu and covid vaccinations from Sperrin Family Practice in Gortin. For me, it is vitally important to get, as on the rare occasions I missed them, I ended up in hospital. – at Gortin, Northern Ireland

I've lost count of the amount of fucking Israel flags I've spotted up and down the Newtownards Rd, Shankill, Tigers Bay, Sandy Row, Ballybeen Estate, Mount Vernon, Rathcooke, Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus, Lisburn. We're very fucking far from Tel Aviv.
Just passed a GAA match and I often think to myself, what other sport claims to be “inclusive” and open to everyone, but flys a national flag at it when it’s not even an international match. The answer, none? To my knowledge.

Accessible toilets are not necessarily fully accessible #ChangingPlaces toilets. In publicly funded community buildings, equitable toileting safety & dignity should be available to all, including severely disabled children & adults and many older ppl. #IncLOOsion
Making a difference already for community organisations in Mid Ulster! 🙌 🚾 Accessible toilets ⛪️ Modernised facilities 🧱 Essential repairs That’s how Minister @GordonLyons1’s £10m+ Northern Ireland Community Infrastructure Fund is improving community facilities across Northern Ireland. ✅ Real delivery for our communities. #DfC #Delivering #NICIF

I'm really looking forward to #BeingHeumann in November. I had the pleasure of meeting Judy in Belfast at the Harkin Summit 2022, and the following day at Stormont, where I delivered a hard hitting speech.
Making the world better one federal building takeover at a time. #BeingHeumann is in select theaters November 6. Streaming November 13 on Apple TV.
