Is degrowth now Alliance policy for Northern Ireland farming? After Andrew Muir told the Belfast Telegraph that if people keep opposing him, we have too big a herd, Deputy Leader Diana Armstrong MLA put the question to his party directly. Our family farms deserve an answer.

🎥 The rule of law must apply equally to everyone. Mediation is the best way to find a workable and permanent solution.

Ulster Unionist Party Leader Jon Burrows MLA has today written to both the Chief Constable and the Chair of the Northern Ireland Policing Board about Sunday's events on the Garvaghy Road. In his letter to the Chief Constable, Jon thanked PSNI officers, who were placed in an exceptionally difficult position through no fault of their own. He has also sought a public assurance that everyone involved will be treated equally under the law, as senior Sinn Féin politicians were among those present on Sunday. Jon said: "Any apparent offences involving them must be investigated exactly as they would be if any other citizen were involved. Office or political position must make no difference whatsoever." He has also asked the Policing Board Chair for an urgent decision on Board member Deirdre Hargey MLA before Thursday's meeting. Footage shows Ms Hargey linking arms across the road during what the PSNI have described as an unlawful and unnotified protest. Jon believes she should not attend Thursday's meeting, and that Sinn Féin should replace her on the Board until the investigation and any proceedings have concluded. "This is not a presumption of guilt. It is basic good governance, and a test of the Board's independence and the appearance of impartiality."
