SDLP Leader Claire Hanna MP has dismissed the latest senior Reform UK figure making clueless comments about the Good Friday Agreement.

She was speaking after Reform MP Richard Tice said the agreement could be altered without consent.

South Belfast and Mid Down MP Ms Hanna said:

“Richard Tice’s comments are the latest in a series of clueless declarations from Reform UK figures who clearly don’t bother to understand the Good Friday Agreement or have any answers to complex challenge.

“The significance of the agreement is clear to everyone who is serious about consensus and stability for people here. Reform politicians, who clearly have no attachment or record, won’t be allowed to weaponise it to pander to their supporters’ immigration fantasies.

“More and more people here are considering what a Reform Government would mean for their and their families’ future. Every time Farage, Tice or another Reform figure speaks, they remind people why a New Ireland offers a better, more inclusive and hopeful future.”
