The UK General Election results across Great Britain have been pored over by almost every media outlet on this island. However, there has been an air of the inevitable that the results for Northern Ireland have been largely ignored despite its recent cohorts of MPs having played a crucial role in the twists and turns of the UK's seperation from the European Union since 2016.

Due to the enormous majority of the new UK Labour Parliamentary Group, the 18 seats from the 'nation' / 'province' / 'region' (delete as preferred) of the UK across the water, were never likely to be pivotal for the government of Britain. But for the people, parties, and governeance of Northern Ireland, these small number of individuals could be very influential.

So here at the Hiraeth Pod, we take a deep look at the results and what we have learned from them. To guide us, we are joined by two great friends of the pod, who last joined us to discuss their book "A Troubled Constitutional Future: Northern Ireland After Brexit".
