Alliance leader Naomi Long warns of potential Stormont collapse due to DUP's Brexit stance, advocating reform to end veto power for largest parties.

Labour must "shift the dial" on Stormont reform if elected, says Alliance leader. Naomi Long warns fragile powersharing institutions in Belfast could face another collapse, endangering Northern Ireland's devolution. She claims the DUP's backpedalling on Brexit trading barriers threatens Stormont's stability. Long's cross-community party advocates reform to remove veto power held by largest unionist and nationalist parties. Since 2017, Sinn Fein and DUP have halted powersharing, leaving Northern Ireland without a functioning government.
