One year ago Stormont returned to much fanfare and positive words.
Today we have seen little of that positivity translate into meaningful action.

Conor Murphy swapping control of a £1bn budget for a backbench Seanad seat is baffling. No Irish party sends their top people to the Seanad any more than British parties send their key people to the House of Lords. There are three possible explanations.
Murphy’s baffling decision to leave Stormont and head south could backfire badly for Sinn Fein
