“People feel really disempowered… They just feel like it’s a spectacle.” This week, Stormont Sources were live at the SDLP Conference, where the focus is on voter frustration with Northern Ireland politics and the feeling that the system is “broken”. “Vote for us and together we’ll build something.” #NorthernIreland #NorthernIrelandPolitics #SDLP @dmcbfs | @timcairns

You said SDLP might profit from Alliance Party not achieving any of its campaign promises of Stormont reform. When Keir Starmer became PM and made Hilary Benn as SoS NI we saw how that role having no interest in reform makes achieving it impossible, whatever any NI party wants.
