— about the courts. I know, but be honest. When you say that there is a problem, name it and diagnose it as what it is. Yes, there are things that are stuck that we want to see advanced quicker but have not been. Yes, there are things that the DUP has turned its mind towards thwarting at every turn. You would be better working with me to ensure that we get those things over the line, as opposed to trying to point-score. I take the point that politics has to deliver for people. We need to do everything that we can to work together where we can, but we also need to diagnose things as what they are, Matthew. Let us be honest as well.
