The SDLP Opposition will be highlighting the Executive's lack of delivery in the Assembly today.
SDLP graphic saying

ONE YEAR AGO

'We are committed to standing up for our health service'

Mike Nesbitt

'The Public rightly demands that we co-operate, deliver and work together'.

Michelle O'Neill

'We must learn the lessons of the last 7 years, on health service and schools reform.'

Emma Little-Pengelly

'Addressing the childcare pressures faced by local parents and supporting a dynamic and thriving economy are all essential'

Naomi Long

TODAY

Key deadlines for water quality plans missed.

Half a million people waiting for an outpatient consultant.

New social housing starts 80% below target.

Waiting time targets consistently missed.

One year ago Stormont returned to much fanfare and positive words. Today we have seen little of that positivity translate into meaningful action.
SDLP graphic saying

The Executive One Year On...


50+ week wait for a first outpatient appointment.

£10,000+ annual cost for full-time childcare.

No Justice Strategy for re-offending.

19,000 new homes held up in planning.

Northern Irish productivity 20% less than ROI average.

Out and about in Newbridge and Ballymaguigan tonight with our newsletter. Hope to get to the rest of you in Moyola DEA over next few weeks. It gives you an update on some of the work both I and the rest of the SDLP team, including our new leader Claire Hanna have been doing 💪

Conor Murphy swapping control of a £1bn budget for a backbench Seanad seat is baffling. No Irish party sends their top people to the Seanad any more than British parties send their key people to the House of Lords. There are three possible explanations.

Murphy’s baffling decision to leave Stormont and head south could backfire badly for Sinn Fein
There are political manoeuvres which are obviously clever; ones which are obviously stupid; and ones which demonstrably are based on some hidden reasoning.

A shameful decision by the SoSNI. The cruelty visited upon this family didn’t stop with the bullets pumped into their defenceless father.

This is the most important project of this generation. and @columeastwood.ie is well placed to drive it. Building upon well established relations, playing to @sdlp.bsky.social strengths, we can reach people that others can’t. A New Ireland cannot be delivered by one party alone.

Absolutely delighted for the Brown family! There’s still a long way to go but they are back on the path again. “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”

While proclaiming itself left-wing in Dublin, Sinn Féin in Belfast has just decided to keep the poorest homeowners subsidising the tax bills of the wealthiest people in NI living in multi-million-pound mansions. Whatever this is, it's not left wing.

My constituents Omar & Delma have tried for months to get family to safety from Gaza. Last week they received news they’ve dreaded, that relatives were killed & injured. Situation is getting worse not better & while UK Gov cannot ‘fix’ this they must do so much more than they are

"Belfast is not in crisis" - John O'Dowd just now in the Assembly. The Infrastructure Minister clearly hasn't been in the city centre over the past month to see the congestion crisis. He could reduce metro bus fares, as we proposed, as a start to help people.

Ross Neill, a solicitor from a unionist background living in Dublin, is a valuable, articulate contribution to the debate on forging a new Ireland. Do read it.
