  20. 'This is about the revival of the SDLP' - Colum Eastwood

    SDLP leader Colum Eastwood has won back Foyle with a thumping majority of more than 17,000.

    "This is a story about the revival of the SDLP, but it is more about the message and the desires of our city and the people of the north generally," said Mr Eastwood, making his victory speech.

    "We heard you loud and clear, we know you want someone to go to Westminster to fight your case."

    He added the focus now had to be on restoring Stormont.

    "No more excuses will be accepted by the people of our city and the people of Northern Ireland," he said.
