YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“The responsible thing for both governments is actually to begin that early engagement and to start to map out how that would be managed.”

Andy Burnham would be the first prime minister since Tony Blair with strong family ties to Ireland, and he should prepare to build on his predecessor’s diplomacy with the Emerald Isle as opinion “irreversibly” shifts towards a Unification referendum, says Sinn Féin leader in the Seanad, Senator Conor Murphy.

Senator Conor Murphy was speaking to Stephen Sackur on The Times At One. Listen live every Monday to Thursday, from 1pm.
