'I came off Twitter two years ago, I haven’t missed it, it hasn’t made a button of difference being off it'
A former Stormont MLA, who stepped away from the Assembly to care for her elderly parents, has not ruled out a return in the future to frontline politics.
“I’m very fortunate to have the opportunity, I know lots of people don’t get that opportunity, but it’s not easy. Ms Bradley said she is enjoying council, describing it as “feeling a bit like coming home” as she had sat on the old Newtownabbey Council for eight years.“Some may question why I went back to council, but I think others who know me, who live in the community I represent are glad that I’m back on the council, because they don’t want to see me giving it all up, I’m not giving up everything that I worked so hard to achieve. It’s nice to still have a voice and still be part of my party.
“That’s horrible when you face criticism from people because of, quite often how you look or how you dress, because you’re in the party you’re in, people think they can beat you.
