One thing I know for sure is who the SDLP flirted with: Starmer's Labour Party. Not only did you praise and highlight time and time again the fact that it is your sister party — it is not just a flirtation; it is a marriage — you crossed the floor of the House to sit with that party. It is, frankly, embarrassing that, before Prime Minister Starmer and his Government came into power, the SDLP said to everyone
that it would have influence on the Labour Party and that it would be good for Northern Ireland. It has been a failure
