Call an election if Stormont is not restored, shadow NI secretary says

The Secretary of State should call a snap Assembly election if Stormont power-sharing is not restored by October, his Labour opposition counterpart has said.

The MP added: "The previous generation with the Labour government could deliver the sensitivity, the framework that delivered peace in Northern Ireland. This lot are falling out because they can't even negotiate a prawn sandwich across the Irish Sea." Mr Kyle said "the legislation has to be followed", but added: "I think it would be a sign of real failure if we have to return to voters in Northern Ireland having not sat a single day, meaningfully, of the democratic institutions since the last election."

Mr Kyle described the government's Westminster bill aimed at overriding the protocol as "incredibly provocative" and "destabilising for the island of Ireland". From the Northern Ireland Protocol to other thorny issues inside Stormont and exclusive interviews - we’ve got you covered.The shadow Northern Ireland secretary said that while he and Labour voted against the protocol, they "respect the rule of law" and negotiation with the European Union is the "only one way forward".

He said: "This is an afterthought, and it's paled into insignificance compared to what the government is going to be spending on households across the rest of the United Kingdom. He said Mr Maskey's speech expressing condolences on behalf of the people of Northern Ireland was "very well-judged" and "you could certainly see flashes of emotion going across King Charles' face".

"The reason that you had a Sinn Fein representative doing those speeches was because there's no functioning democratic institutions.
