Northern Ireland parties react to general election

The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) leader Colm Eastwood said he was not expecting the move, but added that “you never know what to expect with this Tory government”.

“This is probably the first time I have ever agreed with Rishi Sunak on anything because, after 14 years, it really is time to get rid of the Tories.

“They have been a disaster for Northern Ireland – destroying our economy, wrecking our public services, starving departments of money and bringing in the Legacy Bill.

Mr Eastwood confirmed that he and Claire Hanna will be standing for the SDLP bringing “more positive representation in Westminster for Northern Ireland”.

“I think the people in Northern Ireland are sick of the Tories, and we could be looking at a hung parliament, so every single vote will count,” he said.

“We know Sinn Féin don’t take their seats, but we (SDLP) do, so it’s important that we are there to vote on behalf of Northern Ireland,” he added.

Mr Eastwood also said relationships between London and Dublin had “been destroyed because of these Tories”.
