𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

The @BelTel has spoken to a range of loyalists and republicans about a truth commission. Their answers cast doubt on the viability of the Government’s legacy plans…

✍🏻 @AllisonMorris1

belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…
@AllisonMorris1 Exiled UDA leader Johnny Adair questions the motivation for any former paramilitary to engage with a truth commission.

"It may suit people who think: ‘If I could offload this… maybe it’ll make it easier for me to live with.’”

belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…
@AllisonMorris1 Former IRA prisoner Jake Mac Siacais asks what it would solve.

“Instead of asking who killed X on a certain date, how about asking who made the decision to import arms that the UDA used to murder scores and scores of Catholics?”

"I want to use my visit to affirm some core principles about the UK Government’s approach to Northern Ireland," writes @BorisJohnson belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/commen…
"I know from my time as Mayor of London that there is no substitute for strong local leadership. I will tell party leaders that this progress will be stalled without a functioning Assembly and Executive."
"If NI’s productivity grew to match the UK average by 2030, its goods exports could be around double the level recorded in 2020. The Government will do its part with record investment, funding and the new City Deals."

What Boris Johnson says about @moneillsf:

“I think it is testimony to the path that Sinn Fein have taken from 1998 that Michelle O’Neill is now awarded the position of First Minister. I have no doubt we will work together well.”

.@SJAMcBride reveals the hidden RHI scandal 🔥

Stormont has failed to spend £90m in green energy subsidies available from the Treasury to help move people from fossil fuels to green sources of heat

#renewableenergy #renewables #climateni
Subsidies were cut so deep that payments to participants in the scheme dipped below those in Great Britain and the Republic in the aftermath of the scandal. It means the projected £500m overspend on the RHI scheme was reduced to £33m

Plant-based foods are becoming increasingly popular in Northern Ireland. @aineltoner went vegan for a week for @BelTel . So, how did she fare?
✅: 🥗🥑🍠
❌: 🥛🍳🐟
👇
#climateni #Vegan #sustainable
@aineltoner “I was foolish”, @aineltoner says. “Living a plant-based lifestyle requires planning and preparation unless you want to eat the same thing as I did.”

#Vegan #sustainable
Variety is key: adequate preparation allows you to plan a range of meals and dishes that you’ll actually enjoy and look forward to.
