1623654079221170177 | This is a very powerful, thought-provoking & timely piece by @EmmandJDeSouza who offers a piercing examination of DUP's ultimate political agenda with respect to the Good Friday Agreement. @BylineTimes @BelfastAgmt @DUPleader @peterjukes @Byline_Media https://t.co/j7qTFTrpdl | 61 |
1625190588147462145 | Friend asked me to verify his identity for UK passport. Turns out I can’t do it because I have an Irish passport! Bizarrely, if the applicant lived outside the UK I could! Discrimination against Irish passport holders. Another issue to add to the list @EmmandJDeSouza #GFA25 https://t.co/56YIvhDLPd | 28 |
1625707509913624577 | @knit1slip1psso @EmmandJDeSouza The DUP are not the only ones: "the power of the European Research Group...acted almost as a shadow government, with a whipping system, media briefings and devising alternative legislation" = "democracy", #Brexiter-style https://t.co/Jx3fBoubgk @LizWebsterLD @Sillyshib @eyejosh | 16 |
1625495195763769349 | @EmmandJDeSouza Make no illusion, the DUP have never shown a sincere act of humility, empathy or sympathy in the past that didn’t involve money. They’ve never cared about how their actions impact peoples lives before and they won’t lose sleep on how their actions affect a child’s life today. | 4 |
1625816941041442816 | @HereBeProof @MrYesWeCan @knit1slip1psso @EmmandJDeSouza @LizWebsterLD @Sillyshib @eyejosh Yes, it's very concerning for UK democracy. The Conservatives were always a RW party, but were similar to other equivalent European parties such as the CDU in Germany. Cameron's decision to leave the EPP grouping in Europe was a serious error. Now, the ERG have us all hostage. | 3 |
1625516712115204098 | @EmmandJDeSouza @Johnmfitzp The bitterness of the DUP runs that deep. A nasty outfit of bigots from the days of Cromwell. | 3 |
1626860207367135234 | .@EmmandJDeSouza identifies the challenges faced with comparative shorthand. #German #reunification parallels pose the post consent puzzle. What happens after ja? #Germany #Ireland #unity @IrishTimesOpEd @tobiaslock https://t.co/m11yXDPBom | 3 |
1625531859118526464 | @EmmandJDeSouza I thought they were as bad as the Tories, but they've gone to a new low here. They really do not give a toss about anything other than their ridiculous ideals which are obsolete (to put it nicely), not to mention the ease in which they quash democracy on the alter of them. | 2 |
1623659184460890114 | @Jacobbe79601492 @EmmandJDeSouza @BylineTimes @BelfastAgmt @DUPleader @peterjukes @Byline_Media This is the DUP: https://t.co/9o6RbP6whn | 2 |
1625501784532979713 | @EmmandJDeSouza They agreed the protocol & gave it to councillors to implement Once the UVF UDA realised they had sold out Unionism by losing stormont to SInn Fein they pulled DUP out refusing to let them serve with a Nationalist FM Now they put a protocol they agreed above our loved ones | 2 |

1625505389176320001 | @EmmandJDeSouza They should be made criminally culpable for any deaths that occur which could have been prevented. | 15 |

1625215748636286978 | @CllrSiLee @EmmandJDeSouza How can I put this…some people in NI may not know anyone from the required professions who also knows them well enough to verify their identity who ALSO has British passport, especially if they don’t have many contacts outside of their own community. | 13 |
