Ulster Unionist Party Leader, Robin Swann MLA, has wished former Northern Ireland Secretary of State James Brokenshire well following his resignation from the Cabinet.
Ulster Unionist Party Leader Robin Swann MLA said:
“It is with sincere regret that I have learned of James Brokenshire’s resignation. I respected his honesty and how he played with a straight bat. I wish him well for the future both with his health and in his political career.
“I hope that we will see a new Secretary of State appointed soon. Given the state of politics in Northern Ireland it is important that the future Minister is able to hit the ground running. It is shameful that we still do not have an Executive and Assembly in place and I hope that the incoming Secretary of State will reconvene talks as a matter of urgency”
