I just listened to the discussion re UUP & then abt MLMD & SF…and to listen to Cairns state that he knew nothing abt southern politics was nothing short of pathetic…btw I don’t believe that for one second…whose the audience he’s trying to impress? FFS scratch the surface of a DUPer & what? contemptible northern, or should that be Northern , provincialism..& an insecure identity…from a low bar he’s fallen below it…deary me..Cairns needs to broaden his horizons…as if🙄
I have only come to this podcast over the last 2/3 months. As someone who can not listen to the blatant bias of the BBC I really appreciate listening to conversations happy to look at NI issues from all perspectives - even the awkward ones. The three contributors are sufficiently independent of mind not to be tied to standard tropes about unionism or irish nationalism. Keep er lit guys!

A Northern Ireland politics show focusing on power-sharing, governance, and constitutional questions through a journalist-led lens with insider perspectives. Episodes frequently dissect Stormont dynamics, party strategies, and UK-wide implications, blending policy detail with topical debates on education reform, maternity leave in politics, and cross-border issues. Noteworthy is the mix of actual policymakers, former advisers, and cross-party commentary, which tends to yield pragmatic, policy-forward discourse that appeals to listeners who want to understand how decisions at Stormont affect everyday life and broader UK politics.
