Bringing East Antrim’s Voice to the Centre of Decision-Making
The Parades Commission has lost the confidence of Unionists.
Yesterday I challenged the Prime Minister directly.
The Commission has been found wanting, yet its members refuse to go.
Enough is enough.
I asked the Prime Minister to act — speak to the Secretary of State and deal with this discredited body.
Unionists deserve fairness, accountability and institutions they can have confidence in.
I’ll keep speaking up and holding the Government to account.

Irish hypocrisy and lack of shame knows no bounds.
The Irish are always prepared to use Britain’s resources but give nothing in return apart from point scoring and taking pot shots at Britain when it can.
The amazing thing is that successive British governments have allowed the Irish to use our country to free load in terms of security and financially.
It is time we told them where to get off.

I visited the Garden Celebration at Kilcoan Presbyterian Church this morning, marking the tremendous work the congregation has carried out to enhance the atmospheric grounds surrounding this beautiful rural church.
Inside the church, there is also an impressive exhibition of pictures and flower arrangements entitled “From Eden to Eternity”, depicting gardens that played an important part in events recorded throughout the Bible.
If you have some free time over the Bank Holiday weekend, the celebration runs from today through to Monday and is well worth a visit.
Why not make a day of it and enjoy a tour around Islandmagee while you’re there? Take in the lovely beach at Browns Bay, the picturesque views from Portmuck and, of course, finish off with an ice cream at the famous Rinkha!
Get out and go — there’s plenty to see and enjoy right on our doorstep.
