Today's @irish_news column. Over the past decade, we have had a revolving door of Northern Ireland Secretaries. Chris Bryant has a reputation for being a straight talker, but what works in Westminster might not work in Stormont Castle https://www.irishnews.com/opinion/david-mccann-what-chris-bryant-must-do-if-he-is-to-leave-his-mark-in-northern-ireland-YPU4HPDQX5E2DEL25E4THDRFT4/

R to @dmcbfs: He continued, "It is not for me to decide what should happen in Northern Ireland." Well, now he's in a job where he has the power to call one under the GFA.

R to @dmcbfs: Commenting on a border poll in 2024 he said “You can never predict what is going to happen in the future just because of what happened in the past but, yes, that (a border poll) may come at some point, I don’t know.”

Taking bets on which declaration the new NI Secretary makes first. 1-NI gets enough money 2-I am not calling a border poll

At just over 2 years in post, Hilary Benn comes ahead of Peter Mandelson and John Reid in tenure for Labour NIO Secs. Behind Mowlam, Woodward, Rees, Mason, and Hain (only just behind him). The next NI Secretary will be the 8th person to hold the role in the past decade.

Continues the trend. You have to go all the way back to Paddy Mayhew to find an NI Secretary who served a full parliamentary term.

RT by @dmcbfs: Gavin Robinson's leadership is facing the ultimate trial. He has shown genuine resilience in the face of absolute adversity. But a slow start to a crucial inquiry left a dangerous communications vacuum — and in politics, vacuums are quickly filled with speculation. The big question? You can be a highly skilled leader, but if the crisis itself is overwhelming, can you ever really survive it? Or are the events simply too big to outrun? #NIPolitics #DUP #GavinRobinson #UKPolitics #PoliticalLeadership

RT by @dmcbfs: The Alliance Party is having an identity crisis. Historically, they parked the constitutional question to focus on governance, accepting their base's unionist majority. Now, under new leadership, that stance is shifting—with younger members embracing nationalist symbols and an all-Ireland outlook. The big question? The party’s electorate remains traditional, "small-u" unionists. Can the party bridge this growing disconnect between its trajectory and its voter base? #NorthernIreland #AllianceParty #NIpolitics #UKPolitics
