Do you think it's a good idea to give robots "living skin"? Because that is what's happening right now.

When 2 nuclear superpowers are escalating their proxy-wars, we need to ensure peace remains a mainstream concept!

Derry people are some of the most dedicated workers in the world. Treat us right and there's nothing that will stop us from bringing success to a business that invests in this city.

Since investing in Derry, Seagate's value has increased by more than 1800%. The American tech manufacturing company was valued at less than $5 a share as recently as 2008, but after a long fruitful relationship with Derry Seagate now trades at more than $94 a share.

The new Union recognition agreement at Seagate will only make those jobs even more attractive and ensure the caliber of work remains world leading, just as it always has been.

Well done to the historic Derry Seagate workers!

Solidarity with all the workers of the world! ✊

There is a May Day march tomorrow assembling at 1pm at Waterloo Place in Derry. The march is for peace, workers rights, and unity among the working class.

When it comes to the life saving cause of fair pay and fair housing, ALL workers need to stand together, even if we all disagree and are at odds about everything else.

If you've ever sung the words "workers united will never be defeated" then it's time to put those words ahead of personal political ambition and ego.

Without good pay and secure living conditions the global and national influence ordinary people have can be strangled by pulling on the leash of insecure jobs and expensive housing.

With better pay and housing for workers, we would gain more freedom and power to build a better world using our extra time and financial security.

Working class unity is for everyone that is:
- Overworked
- Underpaid
- Overlooked
- Disenfranchised
- Struggling
- Oppressed
- Mistreated

No matter your:
- Politics
- Religion
- Social views

No Union worth it's salt will survey your social or political views before standing in solidarity with you over pay and conditions.

Power to us all! ✊

As a group, I am confident that workers DO oppose ALL war crimes and genocide. Our hearts bleed for everyone suffering in Gaza and all warzones around the world. War crushes ordinary people and has no place in a modern world. We need to change the world together! ✊

MOT Booking Tips: Time Your Tax Renewal

You can't renew your tax if your MOT has expired so if your MOT runs out first you will find yourself off the road.

To avoid this try the following tip.

If your tax and MOT runs out at the same time as your MOT, for example both in January, then get 6 months tax to July, when that runs out get 12 months tax to following July. That way when the January MOT comes around again you'll still have 6 months tax and can stay on the road as long as you have an MOT booked and are insured and the car is roadworthy etc. (for as long as the PSNI statement on MOT delays stays active. See NI Direct for more details.) Also, check in with your insurance, they should be accommodating.

This can give you an extra 6 months to find a cancellation appointment with a date and location that suits you better, without being off the road.

I don't often say nice things about political parties, but fair play SDLP. This is a beautiful way to show solidarity. ✊

🕊️NEWS: SDLP Success! Twinning Derry with Bethlehem! 🇵🇸

The Mayor of Bethlehem has thanked the Irish People for their “steadfast position and support to our Palestinian just cause.” Following SDLP Councillor Catherine McDaid’s motion asking council to propose a twinning arrangement with Bethlehem.

This is an important development in strengthening the relationship between our two cities and we’re delighted to be able to give this update on our solidarity campaign with the Palestinian people!

“This decision reflects the historical unshakable reaction between the Palestinian and the Irish people, and our shared commitment to fostering mutual understanding as well as strengthening the bonds of cooperation and friendship between our two cities.”

Raise a stable of horses or a community of people with the belief that war is normal and they will do war when and where you don't want war.

The war rhetoric in the media and from politicians has been manic recently. Between advocating for conscription, increased war spending, and less diplomacy, it's been hard to see what the end game is other than the complete decimation of humanity.

I hope no one and no horses were hurt during this unfortunate incident. I also hope this isn't an omen for the things to come. Is peace still possible or has that horse bolted?

One of the most direct ways a worker can change the world is by standing by all fellow workers to do good!

You don't need to like the people you stand beside when you are defending life and hope!
