Stormont gets to work: Politics Weekly podcast

Heather Stewart with Rory Carroll, Henry McDonald, Jill Rutter, and Jonathan Isaby.

The Northern Ireland Assembly reopened for business – three years after power-sharing collapsed – on a historic Saturday sitting in which the DUP first minister and the Sinn Féin deputy first minister promised to “seek common ground”.

So, what can we expect from this newly formed executive? Will the issues of Brexit and a border down the Irish Sea bring opposition parties together, or drive an even greater wedge between them?

The prime minister is trying to keep Europe and the US on side, but news that came out this week is making that slightly difficult.

Last but not least, six became five. Heather Stewart and the panel talk about the latest in the Labour leadership campaign.
