I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'll believe it when I see it.
Although I have to say, I really hope we see FF making a real effort up here. The people of the north deserve no less

What did the people of the north do to deserve that?
I too will believe it when I see it.
Besides when FF are kicked out of Government and the tribunals are finished (hear me out) the rebuilding and the winning of trust FF will need to do in the South will take all their resources and the march North will have to wait, while the North is stableising all the time.
