Peter Hitchens predicts "a united Ireland run by Sinn Fein"

Sinn Fein has become the biggest party at Stormont for the first time after it reached 27 seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly election, pushing the DUP into second place.
Talking to Mike Graham, Peter Hitchen's warned that this election result in Northern Ireland could result in the 'death of the union'.
Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis said: “I encourage the parties to form an executive as soon as possible. The people of Northern Ireland deserve a stable and accountable local government that delivers on the issues that matter most to them.
“The electorate delivered a number of messages on Thursday. They were clear that they want a fully functioning devolved government in Northern Ireland, they want the issues around the protocol addressed, and that they want politics to work better.
“Over the coming days I will be meeting with all the party leaders and will urge them to restore the Stormont institutions at the earliest possible moment, starting with the nomination of an Assembly Speaker within eight days.
“The Government remains committed to the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement and will continue to work with the Northern Ireland parties and the Irish Government to deliver its vision for reconciliation, equality, respect for rights and parity of esteem.
“Together, we must move forward towards a brighter future - that means delivering for all the people of Northern Ireland.”
