“The SDLP has a plan, we have a fully drafted emergency bill that could unlock the millions of pounds resting in Stormont Ministers’ bank accounts and instead put it directly into families pockets.'
The SDLP has announced they are set to form an Official Opposition at Stormont in a bid to end the current deadlock as the Assembly is set to be recalled on Tuesday.
“That’s why I have formally written to the Speaker of the Assembly today informing him that the SDLP will immediately form the Official Opposition at Stormont. We have already provided strong opposition to the Tory/DUP axis at Westminster, now the party will provide a constructive alternative to the politics of division, deadlock and failure that has gripped this place for far too long.
He continued: "The SDLP team will hold the provisional Executive to account and provide a radical alternative to the politics of failure. Ministers and politicians taking home full salaries cannot be allowed to hide or fail to account for their decisions while families and businesses across the North struggle to make ends meet.
