The DUP and Sinn Féin have clashed over the cost-of-living crisis as a major gas supplier in Northern Ireland announced its biggest price hike in over a decade.
Sinn Féin criticised the DUP for collapsing the Stormont Executive, saying it means Finance Minister Conor Murphy has £300million that "cannot be spent" to help struggling families.
DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson disputed Sinn Féin arguments that all options to secure a three-year budget had been legally exhausted and urged rivals to "stop playing politics".
