Arlene Foster: This Employment Rights Bill will create problems for many employers

1 month ago | impartialreporter.com | Arlene Foster

The second reading of the Employment Rights Bill took place in the House of Lords very recently, and there were a lot of us who wanted to put a marker down in relation to this important piece of legislation – more than 60 peers were listed to speak, and it’s not difficult to understand why. Most of the Bill does not apply directly to Northern Ireland, but is being replicated in a local Stormont Bill from the Sinn Féin Minister there.
Overseas territories are not relics, they are key to UK security

Having recently returned from the Falkland Islands, I am reminded, more than ever, of the crucial role that British overseas territories play in our global security network. These territories are not scattered remnants of the past; they are vital assets that provide the UK with an unmatched global footprint. As the world faces mounting geopolitical tension, their strategic significance has never been more apparent. Take Gibraltar.
Arlene Foster: Why the UK must protect its overseas territories

Feb 27, 2025 | impartialreporter.com | Arlene Foster

Our British family of nations is not confined to simply the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It includes the people of Gibraltar, the Falklands, Bermuda, Montserrat, and the other territories scattered across the globe. The UK Overseas Territories are not distant lands inhabited by strangers - they are a core part of our shared identity and country, and the people that live in them are as British as those in Belfast, Edinburgh, Cardiff and London.

Arlene Foster: The toxic threat to women from 'deepfake' tech is very real

Jan 16, 2025 | impartialreporter.com | Arlene Foster

It's time to act now to protect people, primarily girls and women, from the potential trauma of being targeted with deepfake technology for all kinds of toxic reasons. Photo: PA. There used to be a saying that the camera never lies. Unfortunately, now that is not the case. In an era where our lives are splashed across screens 24/7, there’s a dark underbelly to the digital world targeting women and girls like never before. It’s time we stopped turning a blind eye.

Arlene Foster: The politics of envy should not strangle farming life

Nov 27, 2024 | impartialreporter.com | Arlene Foster

Labour’s proposed inheritance tax changes is a policy so out of touch, it could only come from a party increasingly defined by the politics of envy. These changes are not only a financial blow but an attack on a way of life that has sustained our country for generations. As someone who has seen first-hand the relentless challenges farmers face, I will continue to use my voice to argue against this pernicious tax. Farming is not merely a job.
Arlene Foster: From grief to debate and the challenge of assisted dying

Sep 25, 2024 | impartialreporter.com | Arlene Foster

Last week a dear uncle of ours passed away at the great age of 96 years old. He was a wonderful, quiet, rural gentleman and lived the last three years of his earthly life in a private residential home which provided him with care and attention when he could no longer live on his own. He and his wife very sadly were unable to have children of their own, but both took much joy from their wider family.
Arlene Foster: The seasons are changing, but let’s all keep a thankful outlook

Sep 4, 2024 | impartialreporter.com | Arlene Foster

So here we are now in early September – like me, you are probably asking how that happened! Despite the weather, I have enjoyed the summer with the annual parades and celebrations, the coming together of family and friends, and the milestones marked for a number of bands and lodges. I noticed several bands were celebrating anniversaries this year.
