Daily: BELFAST AND FURIOUS – Northern Ireland explainer with Naomi Long MLA

Peace in Northern Ireland has not looked this fragile in decades. Violence erupted in Belfast and elsewhere with both Brexit and resurgent gangs to blame. The duped DUP have replaced their leader with a creationist evangelical. And it’s all happening against the backdrop of increasing support for a United Ireland. In a Two Naomis special, leader of the Alliance Party and MLA for East Belfast Naomi Long talks to Naomi Smith about Northern Ireland’s precarious peace – and how it might fall apart.


• “Boris Johnson never listened to Northern Ireland as a collective. He only listened to the DUP”

• “A United Ireland is more likely than at any point in my lifetime, and Brexit has been a big driver in that”

• “Northern Ireland is like a child caught up in a very difficult divorce”

• “Poots is in the soul of Paisley’s DUP… whoever leads the party, it will not be moving forwards”


Presented by Naomi Smith. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. The Bunker is a Podmasters Production
