Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

Maybe because she's the Party's leader?
Maybe it should be up to Parties to decide who to send?

The Sinn Féin party leader in NI is Michelle O'Neill; Ms McDonald has no mandate in this part of the world.

A bit like James Cleverly then.

She is the party leader. This is buffoonery, fair play to both the SDLP and SF.

What reason did the SDLP give? Not like them to back the Shinners so fair play

Because they say Mary Lou is the party leader and shouldn't be excluded.

Just seen their statement there. Really pleasantly surprised. Good to see nationalists showing a united front for a change.

Is someone playing silly buggers here? Who? It would seem more like tories than the DUP?

Not often I would agree with Ben Lowry but think he might be onto something when he said that the Dublin Governments fingerprints maybe all over todays exclusion.

How many votes do the Tories get here?

Cleverly talking about "going down to Ireland".  That triggers me every time.

I have to prefix this with I am not a sf fan... I really don't think varadakar is particularly trustworthy and I wouldn't be surprised if something like this is his work.

I don't trust Varadkar either, but he regretted this and said that he had never restricted a delegation, so it seemingly isn't his work this time.

I am no SF Fan either and this has Varadakar dirty tricks written all over it. He has nothing but disdain for SF.

Wouldn't trust varadkar  as far as I could throw him .  His disdain for sf is because he knows him and his party's days are  numbered. And it's all about  throwing out lies and bullsh1t to try and keep sf out.
