1 hr 42 mins in.

Time this was done more often and tbh the business community need to step forward and tell it as it is.

Did the SDLP supporters not get the message from the electorate?

The people see right through this bullshit

Learn your lesson lads

The question was rhetorical

[Rossfan]

Meanwhile away from the dreary steeples (sort of) it looks like Sefkovič sent Truss packing?

TBH i couldn't care less whether Stormont is sitting or not. Over the decade or so that it did actually function there have been about 5 pieces of legislation passed that would have any actual impact on daily life here. And these were only to mirror legislation that would probably have been introduced through the Orders in Council process from WM anyway. 

The whole thing is a big white elephant hoovering public money up its trunk.

If the DUP don't want it up and running as far as I'm concerned its a massive own goal as it always was and always will be their parliament for their people.

Direct Rule Lol!

When you are explaining you are losing lol. "Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it."

Isn't that just you saying "anyone who doesn't see things exactly as I do is losing"

The man in the street gets affected the same way, reasons are irrelevant.

The reasons are irrelevant? The DUP had made power sharing unworkable.
- They reneged on Language Act commitments, supported by a majority of MLAs, and as promised as preconditions to power sharing, back at St Andrews
- They reneged on the enactment of a Bill of Rights, supported by a majority of MLAs, as was agreed in 1998 in the GFA
- They blocked same sex marriage, despite the majority of MLAs being in support of it
- They took £500m of tax payers money and burned it in wood pellet boilers and then refused to see their leader step aside temporarily pending an investigation
- They blocked funding for legacy inquests

If you are arguing that reasons are irrelevant, then are you suggesting that the Assembly ought to have continued to function like that indefinitely and that the croppies should have just lay down? Are you suggesting that SF collapsing the assembly because the democratic wishes of a majority of MLAs weren't being respected, is no different to the DUP collapsing it because the democratic wishes of a majority of MLAs are being respected and they don't like it?

Arlene was never removed by SF, wise up man, she came straight back in after a 3 year holiday

If you have to rely on dishonesty, then you're not in a good place with your argument. SF weren't trying to get her to retire. They were (as I said above) trying to get her to step aside temporarily so that an inquiry could take place. That is precisely what they achieved by pulling out of the executive.

As I said........

I can see your big red fuming head from here!

SF just won the election last week,

We're in full Unionist DUP/ERG territory here now.

Trailer's posts are straight out of the Eastwood big book of tactics. If the SDLP didn't learn from this election then they are in serious diffs. But at least it reduces the split in nationalists votes.

Can't split the vote in a PR election. Back to school for you.

Sammy was rinsed clean there from all angles, he should stick to Nolan's show

[trueblue1234]

It needs done more often. They get away with too many vague comments that don't get scrutinised.

With regards to the protocol itself, it won't be the politicians who crack it. It will be the business groups who actually know what they are taking about that will come up with the solutions.

Clearly the message has not been received

It is truly disappointing that the SDLP has been reduced to this

Nationalism should be able to provide a decent alternative to SF - and it is weakened as a movement for not doing so

But no - instead we're left with Colum and his band of anti-SF bleaters, who sicken everyone's holes with the same inane nonsense over and over
