Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is at Stormont.
Sir Keir Starmer has met Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill and deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly as he continues his tour of the UK.
Ms O’Neill and Ms Little-Pengelly greeted Sir Keir and new Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn at the castle entrance before they held a meeting inside. Ms O’Neill congratulated him on his electoral success and they discussed Westminster and Stormont parliamentary schedules. Sinn Fein emerged from last week’s election as the Northern Ireland party with the largest representation at Westminster and the republican party’s president, Mary Lou McDonald, has urged the new Prime Minister to “embrace the right of Irish self-determination and constitutional change toward Irish reunification”.
He said his landslide victory in the General Election has given Labour “a clear mandate to govern for all four corners of the United Kingdom”. DUP leader Gavin Robinson said he would use his meeting Sir Keir at Stormont to make the case for “fair and sustainable funding for our essential public services”.
There he is expected to insist Wales has “enormous untapped potential ready to be unleashed”, and will vow to work in “lockstep” with the Welsh Labour administration in Cardiff Bay.
