Tory ineptitude slammed by South Down MP Chris Hazzard

Sinn Féin MP Chris Hazzard has said people in South Down are ‘paying the price’ for Tory chaos and told the British government to stop giving cover to the DUP to block a devolved government being formed at Stormont.

Speaking from Westminster, the South Down MP said: “Ordinary people and businesses across South Down are paying the price from the uncertainty and instability caused by Tory power struggles and chaos at Westminster.

Chris Hazzard MP says the Tory Government are falling short on a number of fronts in providing stable government for the people of the North and in his constituency in South Down.

“The Tories’ determination to undermine the Protocol, break International Law and attack the Good Friday Agreement demonstrates the contempt that they have for people here in the North of Ireland.

“It is unforgivable that the British government is giving cover to the DUP to block an Executive being formed and money being spent to help workers and families who are struggling to heat their homes and put food on the table.

“The Protocol is working.

“Our businesses are benefiting from the opportunities afforded unique dual market access to create jobs and expand.

“The British government should stop giving cover to the DUP to block an Executive being formed and work with the EU in the negotiations to find solutions.”
