Those figures are a bit of a surprise, could be some lingering angst about the slow withdrawal of covid restrictions, but probably the housing crisis looms large and the government's bungled handling  on almost every aspect of the crisis.

First ministers to be nominated and London to pass Irish Language act letting Poots et al off the hook.

Sinn Fein will get shafted by the Tories on this ...can't believe they are going to trust them on it and nominate a DFM

Will they? I'd say it'll be similar to the abortion and gay marriage issue in that the Brits stepping in allows both sides to save face.

Sure Clare Hanna and Colm are going to table it as well.

Do you trust the Tories to keep their word?

SF looking to the UK parliament, a parliament that they don't take their seats in and that they don't recognise its authority to pass Irish Language act is next level hypocrisy.

Anyway I am glad that Stormont hasn't fallen and everyone can get on with the important work of governing this place.

What choice did they have? I'd say the fact SF of all parties had to look to the Brits shows that only one party is willing to compromise and make Stormont work and shows just how big a shower of c***ts the DUP are, if there was any lingering doubt.

I'd trust a Tory about as far as I could throw Big Ben. But I don't see them caring enough to shaft us here, at the end of the day they want Stormont to work and to not be annoying them.

they need Stormont as they know the NIP is for staying in some form and someone has to take the fall for that as well.

currently Stormont is useful to the Tories so passing this culture bill won't cost them a second thought no matter what their mate Doddsy says.

Exactly. SF pick and choose and spin

It might be Ironic but I dont see how it is hypocrisy unless you think the idea of them even being in stormont is hypocrisy.

Yet again it takes the British Government, a useless, hateful Tory government at that, to deliver for those who identify as Irish in NI - because SF are even more useless

Abortion, same sex marriage and now an Irish language act

Seems to me NI would be better off just going back to direct rule from Westminster, because the British Government stepping in is the only way NI is getting any positive change as it is
