General Election 2019: SDLP Launches Manifesto

The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) has launched its manifesto ahead of the 2019 General Election.

SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said withdrawal from the European Union was a roadblock in the way of future progress, and said his MPs would show up and try to block it in parliament.

Mr Eastwood said: "Turning your back on Brexit and ignoring it won't prevent it from happening.

"Preventing it means facing it head on - it means voting against it. It means voting for people who will go to work and vote against it."
