Carmel Hanna (SDLP) has declared herself open to a pact and presumably this would be in return for her party standing aside in the north ward.

With rumours of Martin O’Muilleoir leaving politics then this can all be very timely.

I was surprised O’Muilleoir ran the last time (I didn’t know he was leaving politics BTW)

Alex Maskey pulled out of South Belfast at the election before.

Just a rumour at this stage but I think it has legs.

With a proper pact between SDLP and SF then you would be confident that they would take both North and South, particularly if they ask their voters to support the other.

And they should both pull out of East Belfast, irrespective of non pacts with Alliance.

Neither party does well there but their voters might help get Naomi over the line :)
 
I'd recommend watching the No Stone Unturned documentary to anyone who gets a chance to see it. It's a US production on the Loughinisland Massacre and the subsequent cover-up and the victims' families fight for justice. Compelling viewing.
 
Big Arlene is on the warpath....NO SURRENDER TO THE EU.......

DUP leader Arlene Foster has said that alleged comments by German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Northern Ireland must remain in the Customs Union for any Brexit deal to be reached reveal "the real objective of Dublin and the European Union".

Ms Foster was speaking after sources claimed that following a call earlier between British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Ms Merkel a Brexit deal was now "essentially impossible".

Ms Foster said no UK government would ever concede leaving part of its sovereign territory in a foreign organisation that it is not part of.

She said: "For the United Kingdom to be asked to leave a part of its sovereign territory in a foreign organisation of which the UK would no longer be a part and over which we would have no say whatsoever is beyond crazy. No UK government could ever concede such a surrender."
 
Plus the British. But if you remember, the British army came in to assist the RC community, they were greeter with tea & cakes, until the provisionals saw the English were doing their job and turned the nationalist community against the army. I know, I was there. The conflict needs to be seen in its entirety, not piecemeal to suit adgenda.
