Alliance leader Naomi Long has hit back at Northern Ireland secretary Chris Heaton-Harris for blaming local politicians entirely for Stormont's budget problems.
She said the idea "his hands are clean is frankly laughable" as she referenced his support of Brexit and former Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.
Mrs Long said that "rather than lecture and ignore his own flaws", Mr Heaton-Harris should work with parties to make Stormont's finances more stable and sustainable.
