The SDLP leader, Colum Eastwood had this to say about a possible deal today
The SDLP has a high standard for any outcome in this process. After so much peace processing, it’s time for a comprehensive resolution, not more shady deals, shabby deals and side deals. People deserve more, we’re listening to what they’re saying and we’ll judge any outcome based on what’s best for this society, not our own narrow interest
