On Saturday @ClaireHanna will officially become the next Leader of the SDLP.
Claire’s politics is rooted in hope, ambition and bringing people together.
This is an exciting time to get involved in our mission to build something new. We hope you’ll join us!

Teachers, nurses and other public sector workers still don't have a pay deal for this year thanks to the Budget fiasco.
And if the Executive can't agree a Budget they won't get one in time for Christmas wages and their winter fuel bills.
This should be our focus - not parades.
Daniel McCrossan had a few things to say to Jim Allister on the BBC last night.
People are sick and tired of the shouting, division and constant threats to bring down Stormont.
There are real problems facing our communities. Surely it’s time we started focusing on fixing them?
“Big daddy Jim Allister”, “Reverend Gaston” and Jamie Bryson, Daniel McCrossan had a few home truths for the DUP at Stormont yesterday.
But beyond the exchanges, Daniel’s message was clear: It’s time to move beyond division and focus on issues affecting people’s everyday lives.

An incredibly tough, but exceptionally rewarding career and helping to make a real difference in your community. I would urge people from all backgrounds and especially under-represented groups to apply. A successful service will be a representative one @SDLPlive
The SDLP retweeted
After the toxicity, today the SDLP Opposition gets the focus back to what matters: people's lives and services.
And in a first, I've an op-ed in the @News_Letter explaining how we build together rather collapse into divison.
Delighted to be there 👇

The absolute right decision. Now let those people live in peace, they’ve been through far too much.

Both relief for ordinary people on the Garvaghy Road and sadness that our politics got dragged into this fiasco for weeks.
The work of tackling division becomes more urgent - but most urgently, setting a Budget and offering people some sense of leadership.

Pleased that Drumcree march can’t & won’t take place. It should never have got permission + it must never do again.
This has been a deliberate & wasteful problem, creating tensions & resource issues for the sheer hell of it.
Time to get back on track & to drown out the wreckers

DUP have been smearing our party for 5 decades - we’ve been on the right side of the argument then and now.

The SDLP retweeted
The SDLP has stood for civil rights, non violence & dialogue for 5 decades and counting.
The SDLP retweeted
I’m at the Garvaghy Road and I know people all over the place are worried about the moment we’re in.
SDLP Leader @ClaireHanna is on the Garvaghy Road, standing in solidarity with local residents.
She has spoken to the Chief Constable and Secretary of State to make clear: allowing this parade to proceed violates the rights of people who live here. They must see sense and stop it
The SDLP retweeted
Statement on the resignation of Mike Nesbitt.
I wish Mike well, but tonight's news is a deep indictment of our politics in general, and the antics of the new UUP leader in particular.
The SDLP retweeted
Three years ago the SDLP was on 6% and written off.
Constructive Opposition, a hugely popular leader and most importantly a hopeful vision for our future has transformed that.
We can build something new on this island.
