In this episode of Stormont Sources, David McCann and Michael McKernan are joined by unionist columnist and commentator Sarah Creighton. Following her viral Irish News column, Sarah discusses the complexities of identity in Northern Ireland, why she identifies as both British and Irish, the 'bravery' of challenging the unionist status quo, and why 'English indifference' doesn't change her constitutional stance.

Throughout the second half, we also dive into:

- The 'binary' trap of Northern Irish politics.

- Why Unionist parties are failing to market the Union to young people.

- The reality of the NHS and economic crisis in NI and

- And why engaging with 'Ireland’s Future' is a risk for Unionist politicians.
