A message to all our communities following on from the recent disorder.

Thank you to all the police officers working tonight to protect & support local communities.

Thank you to the community and faith leaders and the police I visited today for keeping our communities safe.

I joined Keir Starmer today to speak to faith leaders and those impacted by recent disorder. Amidst the shocking scenes over the past week we’ve also seen the very best of Britain. To call upon the motto of my great city of Birmingham we only go one way from here: forward.

Every best wish to Colum Eastwood whatever he decides to do next. A consummate communicator with a tough job at a tough time. But most importantly, one of life’s genuine good guys. He’s been hugely supportive of my family and that won’t ever be forgotten. Ádh mór agus beir bua.

Politics is always about the next challenge. The next challenge for me is building a new Ireland that we can all share together. It’s an honour to be Derry’s MP - a job I love, to have led the SDLP and I’m excited about what comes next.

Thank you Colum Eastwood for the great contribution you have made over 9 years as SDLP leader. I know your Foyle constituents and Parliament will continue to benefit from your wisdom and passion. I look forward to working with your successor

This week Lord Wajid Khan’s time at the Vatican has underscored the importance of interfaith dialogue in bringing our communities closer. It’s so important to create spaces to remind us of what unites us. From this we can build understanding, patience, and respect.

Colum Eastwood has put in a heck of a shift, leading the SDLP through 10 elections in 9 years! As a friend & colleague I’ve seen the relentless challenges he’s navigated. He’ll continue to be a passionate & skilled MP for Derry with a mega role to play in shaping the new Ireland
