A UK government decision to indefinitely retain the EU's product safety mark makes the DUP's Stormont boycott 'ever more indefensible', the SDLP's Stormont leader has said

A UK government decision to indefinitely retain the EU's product safety mark makes the DUP's Stormont boycott "ever more indefensible", the SDLP's Stormont leader has said.

"By extending CE marking use across the UK, firms can focus their time and money on creating jobs and growing the economy," he added.

From the Northern Ireland Protocol to other thorny issues inside Stormont and exclusive interviews - we’ve got you covered.The South Belfast MLA said the DUP blocking Stormont is "punishing the ordinary people of Northern Ireland by deepening the crisis in public services and governance".
