I sincerely hope that the events in Northern Ireland receive the coverage, analysis and attention that they deserve in British media and politics today.

Northern Ireland executive holds emergency meeting over Belfast unrest
Well. We warned Theresa Villiers that Brexit would destroy the hard won peace in Northern Ireland, but as a former Northern Iteland Secretary she clearly felt she knew better. So much winning. Local elections coming up: #DontVoteTory(Please)
@cotodd1971 @SandraToFriends And if that happens Northern Ireland will be a tea party in comparison
Also, this violence in Northern Ireland is best eradicated by actually giving communities here meaningful routes out of poverty, future prospects and good quality of life. Young people are much harder to radicalise by paramilitaries when their lives are fulfilling.
Bus hijacked by protesters and set alight on sixth night of unrest in Northern Ireland
@Mattladd1 @BorisJohnson Johnson does not care what happens in Northern Ireland it’s a joke to him evil individual
After days of silence the BBC has seemingly found its backbone and started reporting the Northern Ireland disturbances. Disgraceful dereliction of duty no doubt done at the behest of the Tory government. The BBC has important decisions to make about who it serves #BBCBreakfast
A bus has been hijacked and set on fire in Belfast as violence esaclated on the sixth consecutive night of unrest on the streets of Northern Ireland.
I sincerely hope that the events in Northern Ireland receive the coverage, analysis and attention that they deserve in British media and politics today.
Northern Ireland executive to meet after sixth night of unrest
You helped create this mess you piece of human garbage. The lies from 2016 that you helped spread are coming home to roost and the peace in Northern Ireland is in jeopardy.
Can I say I’m not interested any more in what - if anything - English people have to say about what’s happening in Northern Ireland. I think it’s time time we had the humility to listen to what people who actually live there have to say.
You sacrificed Northern Ireland to become Prime Minister, portraying the backstop as something it really wasn’t, sabotaging any real route to maintaining the peace. This is on you. On you.
I am deeply concerned by the scenes of violence in Northern Ireland, especially attacks on PSNI who are protecting the public and businesses, attacks on a bus driver and the assault of a journalist. The way to resolve differences is through dialogue, not violence or criminality.
If you’d like to listen to people from Northern Ireland please sign up for this panel I’ve arranged for tomorrow, thanks
UK has a 3 way choice for the next 3-4 years - it can keep: 1. Northern Ireland 2. Hard Brexit 3. The Good Friday agreement Any one is easy. Most combinations of 2 are doable. All 3 are impossible. Has been the case since summer 2016.
Calls for calm following attacks on police in NI
Changes to the consent principle in the GFA. That is out. A second solution is the continuation of the failed northern state. That is out. A third solution is repartition of Northern Ireland. That is out. The majority want reunification and they will be heard.
@GaungGaungman @chibuzoikechukw Do your research. Ireland; before they slit into Ireland & Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland then joined Great Britain (Wales, Scotland & England) to form UK.
Police attacked for second night in Northern Ireland Sent via @updayUK
Easter Monday in Northern Ireland is forecast to be a bright but cold day with a mixture of sunny intervals and occasional wintry showers of hail or snow
@TeboMosian Irish? Not sure I understand? If referring to the fact I’m living in Northern Ireland, well truth be told I’m Canadian. To be clear I think the Mail headline is ridiculous and indicative of how deranged the British tabloids can be.
Meanwhile in Northern Ireland !!! Petrol Bomber sets himself on fire !
Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances ; This comes as no surprise, does it? And Brexetiers such as B. Johnson et. al, are directly responsible.
Shocking and totally unacceptable scenes over the last few nights in Northern Ireland as police officers have come under sustained attack by rioters. Thank you to all those men and women who put their uniform on every morning and risk their own lives to protect ours.
@IrishTimes I respectfully suggest that messrs Johnson and Gove come to Northern Ireland to tell people to refrain from violence, dump customs paperwork and join the UK as it heads for sunlit uplands .. that should do the trick.
@NickTorfaen @thetimes Will Labour comment on the Brexit riots in Northern Ireland?
Sorry I meant Northern Ireland. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful ending to a tragic story if Brexit ended up resulting in the unification of the Irelands!
Easter Sunday is a celebration of the Christian gospel of love triumphant over hate, hope over despair, reconciliation over brokenness. The images from across Northern Ireland today instead are of property destroyed, lives endangered. Stop this now, before lives are lost.
Johnson’s drunken Easter message to the people of Northern Ireland.
