Analysis: SDLP not surprised by Labour MP’s border poll comments

She was asked about the prospects of a border poll being called.

“Not imminent” she replied, before adding that it is “not a priority”.

Now in one way that’s no surprise.

After all her boss Sir Keir Starmer told BBC News NI a year ago that such a poll was “not even on the horizon”.

The thing is, he didn’t say it while sitting beside the outgoing leader of the SDLP, Colum Eastwood, and the incoming one, Claire Hanna.

This was their big conference breakfast event.

Fleur Anderson’s definitive dismissal of a border poll made them swallow hard.
