Again, shame on you —

Shame on you. You shake weakly in the face of calling out Sinn Féin, but you are happy to call out the DUP at every turn. May I give you some advice? It will not do the SDLP any electoral good to stand in the shadow of Sinn Féin and the dissidents on the Garvaghy Road and not stand up for the rule of law and what is right. I have made very clear that one party has been reckless in all that, and that is Sinn Féin, and one party is being responsible, and that is the DUP.
