Last week footage of a shocking stabbing in Belfast went viral. After it emerged that the perpetrator was an asylum seeker originally from Sudan, protests were called that soon devolved into a racist pogrom. Gangs of young men created checkpoints, burnt out cars, and set fire to the homes of people suspected to be migrants. An old friend of the podcast, Matthew O'Toole, got a frontline view to the impact. The constitutency office he now runs as an elected official for the SDLP was converted into a temporary shelter for families fleeing their burning homes. He drove a family in the back of his car to safety in a convoy through Belfast as the violence still raged. Thanks to longtime listener James and to supporter Kathy for suggesting the topic.

Lewis, writing in the Screwtape Letters, predicted what would happen in the aftermath of the Belfast stabbing…Episode links:Dr Philip Kiszely: Cultural Historian. Academic, author & political commentator."We've seen police officers and firefighters having to actually rescue families from those buildings, bringing them out through the flames." Dan Johnson, BBC News correspondent, describes the violent disorder taking place in Belfast this evening.“I wish people didn't see that video” - The Minister of Northern Ireland blames Tommy Robinson and Elon for what happened in Belfast last night…Look at the reaction of people in Ireland when they are told the top boys name in Galway is Mohamed Mohamed one of the most frequently used male names among Sudanese people, including those in Ireland. Yesterday a Sudanese migrant tried to behead a man in Belfast! Wake up! "Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.“What you're seeing is a race based pogrom, we are seeing men going door to door asking to 'get the foreigners out' based exclusively on the colour of their skin.” SDLP leader Claire Hannah criticises the unrest taking place in Belfast. - Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) and the Member of Parliament (MP) for South Belfast and Mid DownThis woman posted this video after the horrific Belfast attack, defending the migrant. In a video last week, she states white Irish men don't like immigrants because they “feel sexually inferior to them”. This is who we let vote. She does not and will never speak for us'It's not a colour problem. It's a culture problem.' @beattie2_dougie speaks to a Belfast resident who explains how Protestant and Catholic communities met 'as concerned parents' to protest in wake of the knife attack carried out by a Sudanese migrantDoes the Northern Ireland Secretary really not think that attempting to behead someone in the street is alien to our culture? Why do they insist on not seeing what is plain as day to the rest of us?

Well, folks, it's been a week of delayed recordings and riveting exchanges. This week, Lesley and Fraser weigh in on a fair old rammy at Holyrood regarding the SNP, plus the deeply troubling scenes playing out on the streets of Belfast and beyond. From a Scottish Parliamentary debate that saw the Green amendment triumph, to the surprising political unity across the water in Northern Ireland, we try to make sense of a highly charged political landscape. In this episode, we discuss:The Peter Murrell Scandal & Holyrood's Response: We unpack the recent debate on whether there should be a Scottish Parliamentary inquiry into the SNP's financial scandal. Fraser argues Holyrood has ducked out of the thornier issues regarding the separation of powers and the Crown Office, leaving the door wide open for Westminster's Scottish Affairs Committee to step in. Lesley, however, reckons an independent inquiry—sparked by the successful Green amendment—is actually the better move, meaning politicians won't just be marking their own homework.A Question of Competence: Does the Scottish Parliament even have the legislative authority to investigate political parties, or is that strictly reserved to Westminster under the Scotland Act? We get into the weeds of who actually holds the power to scrutinise party registration and funding.The Future of Independence Funds: With Peter Murrell reportedly offering to voluntarily repay embezzled funds, we ask what should happen to that money. Fraser suggests a new, democratic independence vehicle should be established to take the ring-fenced crowdfunder cash, rather than simply returning it to the SNP's coffers.Far-Right Riots and The Belfast Response: We turn to the appalling, racist violence in Belfast and across the UK, fueled by outside agitators and Nigel Farage's "pure cold fury" remarks. Yet amidst the nightmare, there is a surprisingly upbeat takeaway: the refreshingly robust, united front from Northern Irish politicians across the divide. From the SDLP to the Democratic Unionists, local leaders have explicitly repudiated the racism and told the armchair warriors exactly where to go. ★ Support this podcast ★

the DUP's Philip Brett and SDLP's Claire Hanna react & are fat jabs just for the rich?

I am against MonarchiesCurrently, the British state is convulsed around allegations surrounding a member of its Royal family. Norway too is in the midst of a crisis around its monarchy. The law of both states will take their course, as is right.However, these controversies raise for me the very existence of monarchies. A family elite which through past colonial conquest and patronage, and in alliance with business and societal elites, continues to enjoy a place of wealth and privilege and influence. Given that the British state includes a part of Ireland, at least for the time being, this is more than an academic issue for those of us who are captives of this undemocratic system of privilege. I am instinctively against monarchies. Of any kind. Constitutional or otherwise. Monarchies are bad. The late Tony Benn put it well when he said that “the existence of a hereditary monarchy helps to prop up all the privilege and patronage that corrupts our society; that is why the crown is seen as being of such importance to those who run the country - or enjoy the privileges it affords.”Conradh na Gaeilge Votes for UnityAt the end of last year Oireachtas na Samhna in Belfast was a huge success. Thousands of Irish speakers, including Uachtarán Catherine Connolly, spent several days enjoying the music, dance, culture, arts, craic and discussions that are part of the oldest Irish language and arts event on the island of Ireland. In August Belfast will host the Comhaltas Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, the world's biggest celebration of Irish music and culture.All of this is evidence of the change that is taking place. I was pleased to attend An Conradh's Ard Fheis. The conference was alive and vibrant with a new generation of young gaeilgeoirí determined to assert their Irishness, proud of their language and determined to stand up for their language and national rights. They were articulate, positive, funny, hopeful and generous. Micheál Martin out of step on UnityLast week, An Taoiseach Micheál Martin, in an interview with TG4, claimed that there is not much substance behind Sinn Féin's campaign on Unity.  The Fianna Fáil leader, who has consistently rejected any common sense suggestions to prepare for unity, returned to his favourite and bogus argument that we need reconciliation before unity.Martin's comments are out of step with the political reality and popular opinion North and South. He also misses entirely the point that the demand for unity is not simply being put by Sinn Féin. Former leaders of Fine Gael and the SDLP, as well the SDLP leadership, Ireland's Future, the Irish Labour Party, the Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Good Friday Agreement and others are part of the growing demand for the Irish government to prepare for unity.

Stormont should not be treated as a “soft-play area” for politicians, the SDLP leader Claire Hanna has said in an in-depth interview with the BelTel podcast. In it, she gave her views on Irish unity, on Stormont reform and on the SDLP's chances of recovery. Claire Hanna became the leader of the SDLP unopposed in October 2024 having been an MP for south Belfast since 2019. Many commentators say the SDLP has been more stridently pro-unity under Hanna's leadership. Does she agree? Can she square making Northern Ireland work with not wanting it at all? And can she turn around the SDLP's long-term decline. Claire Hanna, joined Ciarán Dunbar on the BelTel. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Hunger Strike of 1981 saw a surge in violence that left scores killed. With no end to the Troubles imaginable and Sinn Féin emerging as a serious electoral force, constitutional nationalism decided it had to do something. Taoiseach Garrett Fitzgerald and the SDLP leader John Hume had a meeting of minds resulting in The New Ireland Forum. What does the Forum recommend? Was it more than just a talking shop? And did it lead to the later Anglo-Irish Agreement? Ciarán Dunbar spoke to historian Séan Ó Duibhir. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Domestically, NI politics has been consumed by Irish language issues this week and unionists reel in the wake of Belfast City Council's new bilingual policy – is it just the result of demographics? October is party conference season – why did Starmer not mention us in his speech? The SDLP is presenting itself as both an alternative to Alliance and pushing Irish unity, can they do both? And finally, an MLA says the current Stormont executive is the worst one since devolution returned in 1998 – is he right? Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph's Liam Tunney, political commentator Alex Kane and by Ulster University lecturer David McCann. Hosted on Acast.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an cúigiú lá déag de mhí an Mhárta. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Dúirt Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe, Donald Trump, ag a chruinniú leis an Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, sa Teach Bán tráthnóna Dé Máirt go bhfuil “grá mór” ag muintir na hÉireann dó. Dúirt sé freisin, áfach, go bhfuil “ár gcomhlachtaí pharma ag Éirinn”. Ba mhaith leis an Uachtarán iad a thabhairt ar ais chuig na Stáit Aontaithe, cé gur mhol sé na hÉireannaigh as ucht na comhlachtaí sin a mhealladh. Ní raibh aon cheilt ag an Trumpach ach an oiread ar a naimhdeas leis an Aontas Eorpach, agus mar sin de ba bheag an t-iontas gurbh iad na taraifí an téama ba lárnaí ag an bpreasócáid san Oifig Ubhchruthach. Nuair a fuair an Taoiseach deis cainte, luaigh sé an caidreamh stairiúil idir an dá thír, agus dúirt sé gurb í an fhadhb is mó a bhí le réiteach in Éirinn ná an ghéarchéim tithíochta. Maidir leis na cogaí in Gaza agus san Úcráin, thug sé freagraí taidhleoireachta gan cur isteach ar an Uachtarán ná ar an Leas-Uachtarán, J.D. Vance, a rinne argóint phoiblí le déanaí le hUachtarán na hÚcráine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.Bhí an Ghaeilge á labhairt den chéad uair riamh le linn Cheisteanna an Phríomh-Aire in Westminster an tseachtain seo. Luaigh ceannaire an SDLP, Claire Hanna, go bhfuil Seachtain na Gaeilge ar siúl anois, agus go bhfuil ceiliúradh Lá Fhéile Pádraig ar na bacáin freisin. An méid sin ráite, lean sí uirthi ansin i mBéarla, agus mhol sí an Príomh-Aire, Keir Starmer, as caidreamh “cairdiúil agus dlúth” a chothú idir Éire agus an Bhreatain. Thug sí cuireadh dó freisin teacht go Béal Feirste an bhliain seo chugainn chun freastal ar Fhleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. Ghabh an Príomh-Aire buíochas léi agus ghuigh sé Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona dóibh siúd a bheadh ag ceiliúradh na féile. Dúirt an SDLP gur gníomh “siombalach” don Ghaeilge é ráiteas a gceannaire.Tá póilíní na Gearmáine sa tóir ar changarú a bhí caillte de réir dealraimh tar éis do thiománaí a chur in iúl go raibh sé ag léimneach síos an bóthar in aice le baile Sebnitz gar don teorainn leis an tSeicia. Tar éis an radharc neamhghnách a fheiceáil, ghlaoigh an tiománaí ar na póilíní agus chuir sé grianghraf chucu mar fhianaise. Ach faoin am a tháinig siad ar an láthair, bhí an cangarú imithe glan. Is beag eolas atá ar fáil faoin ainmhí, a dúirt na póilíní, ach an lá dár gcionn thuairiscigh bean go raibh cangarú áirithe ar iarraidh. In 2023, tharla oibríocht ollmhór póilíneachta i mBeirlín nuair a tuairiscíodh go raibh leon scaoilte ar shráideanna na cathrach. Chuir siad deireadh leis an gcuardach, áfach, tar éis dóibh anailís a dhéanamh ar an bhfíseán agus a thuiscint nach leon a bhí ann, ach torc.taraifí - tariffsfreagraí taidhleoireachta - diplomatic answersar na bacáin - coming soon, in the pipelinecuireadh - invitation

Chris Buckler is joined by guests to discuss the SDLP leader's resignation.

Conor Macauley, Northern Correspondent, reports as Colum Eastwood is expected to announce that he is stepping down as SDLP leader later today.

Tuigtear go bhfuil cinneadh déanta ag ceannaire Pháirtí an SDLP Colum Eastwood éirí as an gceannaireacht agus go bhfuil sé i gceist aige fogra poiblí a dhéanamh faoi seo ag comhdáil nuachta i nDoire inniu.

When Keir Starmer visited Northern Ireland, it was a moment when it was possible to believe that things will start moving again. Casement Park will be built, maybe in time for the Euros in 2028 and the childish stunts of the recent past might not be tolerated with Hilary Benn as Secretary of State. Joe talks about why it's important to distinguish between a politician like Gregory Campbell and honourable unionists. Joe explains why the SDLP would run a candidate against Sinn Fein even if it meant the leader of the Ku Klux Klan won the seat. And Dion makes Joe an offer he can't refuse- will he play a game of cricket if it means meeting one of his heroes?This episode of Free State is sponsored by Manscaped.

"When I came to Northern Ireland, when I was walking on the streets of Derry, I could hardly see a black person. At that time, I think there were only three Kenyans, with me being the fourth person."Lilian Seenoi-Barr is about to make history by becoming Northern Ireland's first black mayor. Ms Seenoi-Barr was selected by the SDLP party to become the next first citizen of Derry City and Strabane District Council but despite the support she received, she has also faced some backlash and racist abuse. She was born in Kenya and left in 2010 to start a new life in Northern Ireland. She proudly comes from the Maasai tribe but since moving to Derry, she has been focused on building community and support for other immigrants.Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja spoke to her about her journey and why she decided to become a politician. Presenter: Alan Kasujja. Guest: Lilian Seenoi-Barr.

Coco and her special guest Femi Oluwole pore over the bin fire that was the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester. Was Sunak strengthened or weakened by the whole HS2 fiasco - and what was the thinking behind wheeling out his wife for a surprise appearance? With the likes of Braverman, Truss - and even Farage - being feted by the party faithful, Coco and Femi discuss the party's lurch to the right. Plus Femi on playing real-life Pokemon Go in Manchester…only with Tory Ministers.What's it like for the people of Northern Ireland to be without a functioning government for the last 18 months?
