Did Michelle O’Neill just hand the DUP a political win?
In this episode, David McCann, Tim Cairns and Michael McKernan break down the fallout after the First Minister declined to attend UK government security briefings on the escalating Middle East crisis — a decision that sparked sharp criticism from unionists and raised fresh tensions at Stormont.
With Emma Little-Pengelly stepping into the spotlight, has the DUP seized the political initiative — and was this an own goal for Sinn Féin?
We also ask a bigger political question: where are the Greens in Northern Ireland politics? After the Green's triumph in Manchester's Gorton and Denton by-election, the Green Party in Northern Ireland still struggles to break through...so why hasn’t the “green surge” arrived at Stormont?
Plus, Tim explains why he got ID'd at Gatwick Airport - and what this has to do with intelligence and human trafficking.
In this episode: - The Stormont row over the UK security briefing boycott - Did Michelle O'Neill misjudge the politics? - The DUP’s response and political positioning - Why the Greens are still missing from the big political conversation - The Intelligence behind ID'ing at airports
