Quick Glance: Mass Strikes Escalate Political Crisis in Northern Ireland

Mass disruption expected in Northern Ireland as tens of thousands of public sector workers strike over pay.

15 trade unions representing teachers, civil servants, nurses, and transport workers expected to turn out at rallies.

Irish Congress of Trade Unions estimates 170,000 out of 220,000 public sector union workers will strike to demand funding for pay increases.

The mass strike, labeled as the biggest coordinated action since Northern Ireland's founding in 1921 by unions, will likely further disrupt crumbling public services.

Brexit: Rishi Sunak says Northern Ireland in 'unbelievably special position' because of access to EU single market

news.sky.com/story/brexit-rishi-sunak-says-northern-ireland-in-unbelievably-special-position-because-of-access-to-eu-single-market-12821991

Quick Glance: Sunak's gamble is to persuade DUP voters to support his deal and hope the party follows suit.

Sir Keir Starmer has repeatedly attacked Rishi Sunak as "weak" and incapable of confronting his own MPs or vested interests since he became Prime Minister.

The DUP is also deferring its decision, which the Prime Minister is likely to interpret as an early victory.

Mr Sunak will be hoping that by extending the deadline for the restoration of powersharing government in Northern Ireland to January 2024, he will have given unionist voters enough time to support his deal, and that the DUP will follow suit.
