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. But the DUP has continued to raise concerns, saying it will not restore devolution until it receives further legislative assurances of Northern Ireland's place within the UK internal market.
"Given that east-west divergence has been the entire justification for the DUP boycott, today’s news makes their continued boycott even more indefensible. 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".
