@10DowningStreet @BorisJohnson 🔴 BREAKING | Sam McBride on @BorisJohnson message ahead of his visit to Belfast: PM indicates to unionists #NIProtocol will not be scrapped but must be fundamentally altered, regardless of whether the EU agrees

belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…
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.”

What Boris Johnson says about @allianceparty after #AE22:

“They are an important voice in the new Northern Ireland but also, let’s be clear, a party which stuck to its principles in a darker and more difficult past."

belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/commen…
What Boris Johnson says about the Stormont stalemate:

“Focus on everyday issues. Schools. Hospitals. Cost of living. So, it is time for all of the local parties to get back to Stormont. Elect a Speaker. Create an Executive. Get back to work.”

On the abortion debate, Boris Johnson tells @BelTel:

“We will intervene to ensure that women and girls have access to abortion services in Northern Ireland that are their legal right, following the failure of the Executive to deliver this.”

On legacy issues, the PM tells @BelTel: “Dealing with the past will still require difficult decisions but there will be no blanket amnesty. Immunity will only be available to those who co-operate and prosecutions could follow for those who do not.”

"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."

.@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.

#climateni
