Orange Order Demands Border Fix | Belfast News

The Orange Order’s grand master, Harold Henning, has delivered a bold letter to new PM Andy Burnham, urging urgent action on Northern Ireland’s constitutional future. Citing deep-seated betrayal from past governments, Henning warns that Brexit’s Irish Sea border and unresolved legacy issues have left Northern Ireland “semi-detached” from the UK economy. He lambasts former Secretary of State Hilary Benn for promoting an all-island economy, arguing policies have instead reinforced the border — a barrier Northern Ireland’s citizens deserve to cross without restriction. Henning also voices frustration with Ireland’s handling of legacy matters and offers to meet with new Secretary of State Chris Bryant to explore collaboration on revitalizing Northern Ireland’s high streets. While acknowledging Burnham’s past associations may influence his stance, Henning insists the Orange Order is ready to engage constructively to strengthen Northern Ireland’s place within a united, prosperous UK.
