Instead of prioritising our children's education, DUP Minister Paul Givan has chosen to provoke confrontation with teachers. The announcement of the ballot sends a clear message that Givan must heed.

"The Council backed our motion calling on the DFI Minister to provide funding to equalise train access on the Derry line. Translink estimate this will cost a mere £1m... compared to the hundreds of millions announced to upgrade rail services between Belfast and Dublin." - Cllr. Shaun Harkin

The cases against all protestors will go ahead though a judge had decided to drop prosecution against Derry & Strabane People Before Profit Cllr Shaun Harkin alone. The challenge will continue. The legislation is as wrong as Starmer is, who's banned solidarity instead of arms sales, says Harkin.

Cllr Harkin: "If Stormont doesn't halt the further privatisation of the health service here, it follows logic for the likes of Palantir to ultimately be given full access to patient data here too. This is unacceptable. This is exactly why People Before Profit will challenge the Health Minister..."

Cllr Shaun Harkin: "This is not just unethical; it is a direct assault on the well-being of millions. The continued reliance on fossil fuels is driving the climate crisis, yet companies like BP prioritise short-term gain over the planet’s future."

"Instead of investing in a murder machine... we should and can be investing in jobs in health, in education, in building housing... The arms industry should be abolished, not normalised as an 'area of opportunity' and profit."

Urgent action is needed on skyrocketing fuel prices during a cost-of-living crisis that’s crushing ordinary people.
Fossil fuel dependence leaves workers exposed every time there is a global shock.
We need a wider fightback with workers and trade unions at the core.

“We offer our solidarity to all workers at UU at this time and look forward to joining you on the picket line if and when you decide to fight these job cuts.”

Stormont Executive Parties and SDLP must now support implementation of People Before Profit Council motion which they unanimously endorsed demanding energy price caps and regulation says Shaun Harkin.

People Before Profit Councillor Shaun Harkin condemns continued Israeli barbarism in Lebanon despite a ceasefire agreement

Coleraine was a defeat for the ONIV's 'bizarre' would-be campaigners this weekend. Less than 1 in 10 of their projected numbers actually turned out and they were outnumbered by a vibrant counter-protest organised by Causeway Trade Union Council union members and members of People Before Profit.

People need assurances that government will be ready to support those potentially impacted, instead the Minister is eager to say "nothing to see here".

Cuts to Community and Voluntary Sector Will Have Devastating Impact on Support for Vulnerable People. Stormont Must Intervene

People Before Profit Cllr Shaun Harkin reports from the shameful 20% hike on the cost of school meals imposed by the Education Minister and the Stormont Executive in January.

Cllr Shaun Harkin: 'Millions thrown at private health companies every year while services get worse... it has to stop! - Stormont's main parties are facilitating the destruction of the Health Service. Over £300 million was spent on private contractors in just the last five years.'

People Before Profit condemns the alleged sectarian attack on a young man in the city centre at the weekend.

We welcome the High Court's conclusion that the British government's proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful. Charges against all members of the Filton 24 and others should be dropped. Arrests made in response to protests against the ban should be rescinded. - PBP Cllr Shaun Harkin

"The DUP are the original Trumpsters: stir up sectarian hate to keep the working class down for elites and their corrupt status quo..." - Cllr Shaun Harkin
