BelTel Politics: Irish signs, Labour snubs, the SDLP targeting Alliance, and will Farage eat the Tories?

from The BelTel

Domestically, NI politics has been consumed by Irish language issues this week and unionists reel in the wake of Belfast City Council’s new bilingual policy – is it just the result of demographics? October is party conference season – why did Starmer not mention us in his speech? The SDLP is presenting itself as both an alternative to Alliance and pushing Irish unity, can they do both?   And finally, an MLA says the current Stormont executive is the worst one since devolution returned in 1998 – is he right?  Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph’s Liam Tunney, political commentator Alex Kane and by Ulster University lecturer David McCann.  Hosted on Acast.
