🗣️ Renew NI featured in the @BelTel this morning 📰 Grant Warren, Head of Research & Policy: “Regardless of what Northern Ireland’s constitutional status is, a lot of these bread-and-butter issues, these problems, will still be there.” “One of the understated aspects of the New Ireland agenda is that it’s advocating for the abolition of Northern Ireland, whereas I think a lot of people value Northern Ireland as a distinctive place.” Ryan Hoey, Director: “That’s what our argument is going to be around – how you can have change within the current constitutional framework on different policy issues that’s better than the alternative of a big constitutional upheaval.” Read the full piece here: belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

Fantastic 💯 way forward
Yesterday we launched our positive case for the Union: national security, peace, a lower cost of living, our NHS & economic strength. We finish with pride in our contribution to the UK - from food security to specialised skills in cybersecurity & manufacturing. Stronger together.

Let’s hope @News_Letter can cover this campaign. I get them avoiding Drumcree coverage to avoid being seen to whip it up but for a paper of unionism this shouldn’t be a problem…..
The UUP trying-wisely I think-to attract some attention at a time when Drumcree is making the headlines.
