An instructive disagreement
Three Thousand Versts of Loneliness (Free subscription) | 29/07/2008
The SDLP’s reaction to the UUP / Conservative talks has been confusing Michael Shilliday on Slugger O’Toole and well it might. Alasdair McDonnell’s measured response is at odds with that of his party colleague John Dallat. McDonnell sees the process in a context of normalisation and realignment, which for unionists will take place on an East-West axis and which nationalists will seek to develop North-South....

Freudian slip
Slugger O'Toole (Free subscription) | 16/07/2008
The News Letter’s city edition gave Alasdair McDonnell MP a new position today, Deputy Leader of the DUP. However, considering the manner and tone of the attack on Sinn Fein the sub-editor could be forgiven for the error. McDonnell argued: Peter Robinson and the DUP are running rings around Sinn Fein in the Executive, blocking them at every turn on every major issue. So Gerry Adams has resorted to...

McDonnell: Sinn Fein will sign up to Robinson’s deal…
Slugger O'Toole (Free subscription) | 03/06/2008
With Gerry Adams going to see Gordon Brown today, Alasdair McDonnell believes Sinn Féin is “simply talking up a crisis to cover up its negotiating mistakes at St Andrews, and its subsequent political failures”: They built their trap themselves and they walked into it. Sinn Féin will cut a deal very soon, but let there be absolutely no doubt, it will be Peter Robinson's deal. It will keep Sinn Féin...

At 9.30 am he described the arson attacks as "the last straw for hard pressed residents...We may not yet know precisely who was...
