@harriettmb This is interesting from the Inquiry (via GPLB, as always):
"Inquiry will consider whether collapse in power sharing affected pandemic planning in Northern Ireland, Keith (KC for the Inquiry) says"

Council election results overshadowed by question of when #Stormont will return
Rarely has any election campaign been quite so dominated by the fallout from the result of a poll which took place a full year before.

#SinnFein chose to make the 2023 council elections all about the fact that its vice president, Michelle O’Neill, has been prevented from taking up the position of First Minister at Stormont – and is set to deliver another historic victory.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Today’s #indyref #supremecourt ruling sets a dangerous precedent to say that despite “legal” outcomes, the “practical” outcomes impact on the “strength of the Union” - relating to #UK sovereignty ergo reserved power

With the Internal #Markets Act and #Brexit Freedoms #Bill - #Westminster could justify overruling #Holyrood #Senedd or #Stormont on devolved matters if they say there’s a practical impact on reserved powers

#Scotland isn’t an #equal; our consent is ignored. #democracy #politics

N Ireland Protocol.
