Sorcha Eastwood MP: Keir Starmer vs Northern Ireland

Sorcha Eastwood talks through Keir Starmer, Stormont reform, and the pressures on households — but are politicians actually delivering any real change, or just more of the same? In this episode of Stormont Sources, host David McCann is joined by regulars Tim Cairns and Michael McKernan to talk to the MP for Lagan Valley, Sorcha Eastwood. Sorcha has been a vocal critic of Keir Starmer’s Labour government in the House of Commons. We dive deep into why she feels the Prime Minister has "disconnected" from the public, the devastating impact of the Local Growth Fund cuts in Northern Ireland, and why she believes the current two-party system is fraying at the edges. Topics covered in this episode: * Keir Starmer’s leadership. * Stormont reform. * The impact of recent economic decisions. * Growing security concerns in Northern Ireland. * Andy Burnham’s appearance at the Alliance conference. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

episode Is Unionism Failing the Next Generation? artwork

Is Unionism Failing the Next Generation?

In this episode of Stormont Sources, David McCann and Michael McKernan are joined by unionist columnist and commentator Sarah Creighton. Following her viral Irish News column, Sarah discusses the complexities of identity in Northern Ireland, why she identifies as both British and Irish, the 'bravery' of challenging the unionist status quo, and why 'English indifference' doesn't change her constitutional stance. Throughout the second half, we also dive into: - The 'binary' trap of Northern Irish politics. - Why Unionist parties are failing to market the Union to young people. - The reality of the NHS and economic crisis in NI and - And why engaging with 'Ireland’s Future' is a risk for Unionist politicians. **** Click stormontsources.com to listen and for all of our episodes Welcome inside politics in Northern Ireland.
