On the 10th of April, we will celebrate the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement which nearly 30 years ago brought an end to the Troubles.
The Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement was signed on 10 April 1998. Marked in 2026 that is 28 years, so '10th of April' is exact and 'nearly 30 years' is a fair approximation.

A key date is in fact 1994, when the main violence perpetrators, the IRA, ... declared a ceasefire. That was then followed by a loyalist paramilitary ceasefire.
The Provisional IRA declared a 'complete cessation of military operations' on 31 August 1994; loyalist paramilitaries (CLMC) announced their own ceasefire six weeks later, on 13 October 1994. The sequence described is correct.

The Jackdaw gas field could be up and running before winter. All that gas would be used here in the UK to heat 1.6 million homes.
Shell's own figures put Jackdaw's peak output at the energy equivalent to heat about 1.4 million homes, not 1.6 million. First production is expected in the second half of 2026. The core point stands but the 1.6 million figure is overstated.

Under his Labour government, we buy half the gas we use from Norway.
In 2024 Norway supplied about 31 billion cubic metres of gas to the UK, roughly half of national consumption (and about three-quarters of all UK gas imports). 'Half the gas we use' is a reasonable characterisation.

For the first time since 1964, under his government, Britain drilled no wells. ... Last year Norway's Labour government drilled 49 wells in the North Sea. How many did Britain drill? Zero.
Industry data confirm that no new exploration wells were drilled in UK waters in 2025 - the first time this has happened since 1964 - while Norway drilled around 30-40 exploration wells over the same year. The headline UK claim (zero, first since 1964) is accurate; the precise Norwegian figure of 49 refers to a broader well count.

Northern Ireland is the one part of the United Kingdom where it is most dangerous to be a woman when it comes to violence against women and girls.
Femicide data show Northern Ireland has the highest rate in the UK: about 0.52 per 100,000 for 2020-2025, versus 0.45 in England and Wales and 0.24 in Scotland. Women in NI are around twice as likely to be killed by a partner or someone known to them than elsewhere in the UK.

Northern Ireland, in 300 areas, is subject to foreign jurisdiction [under the Windsor Framework].
The Windsor Framework retains a list of over 300 pieces of EU legislation that continue to apply in Northern Ireland (goods, agri-food, VAT/excise on goods, state aid, etc.). The figure of around 300 areas of applicable EU law is accurate, though 'foreign jurisdiction' is the speaker's characterisation.

Thames Water is allowed to [pump sewage into rivers] under rules that are laid out in the Water Act of 1991.
The Water Industry Act 1991 is the principal statute governing water and sewerage companies in England and Wales and Ofwat's regulatory and enforcement powers. The MP's reference to the '1991' framework is correct (its precise title is the Water Industry Act 1991).

We got the best ambulance response times for half a decade.
NHS England ambulance data show Category 2 response times in 2025/26 fell to around 29-30 minutes, the best performance in roughly five years and a sharp improvement on the December 2022 peak of over 90 minutes. 'Best for half a decade' is broadly supported.

We've sanctioned the IRGC in its entirety. We've posed over 230 sanctions since coming into office.
It is correct that the UK has sanctioned the IRGC in its entirety, and the UK has more than 300 Iran-related sanctions overall. However, the precise figure of 'over 230 sanctions since coming into office' cannot be confirmed from published government sources and appears to be a non-verifiable subset.

Hospitality adds nearly 2 billion pounds to Northern Ireland's economy, supporting more than 75,000 jobs.
Hospitality Ulster figures put the sector at around £2 billion for the NI economy, which matches. However, employment is generally cited as about 72,000 jobs, so 'more than 75,000' is somewhat overstated.
