    ‘I never thought in terms of being a leader. I thought very simply in terms of helping people’. Nobel Laureate and former SDLP Leader John Hume passed away last night. We all live in the Ireland he imagined - at peace and free to decide our own destiny. Thank you, John.

    Real politics shouldn't be about waving flags, it should be about developing the standard of living of all sections of your people. 23 years on from the Good Friday Agreement, we all need to spill our sweat to change our society for the better.

    Difference is an accident of birth. Difference is of the essence of humanity. Respect for difference is the first and deepest principle of real peace. Today, on John Hume’s 4th anniversary, his core belief is more important than ever.

    We had a blunt meeting with the new British Prime Minister this morning. We went in concerned that he would have a limited understanding of the complexities and fragilities of this place. Those concerns were confirmed. @NicholaMallon

    SDLP Leader Claire Hanna MP calls out the UK Government’s double standards on terror. Palestine Action and Kneecap are branded as terrorists, while the UK government turns a blind eye to the real terror, the genocide in Gaza.
