Sinn Fein Launches Election Manifesto
Sinn Féin has launched its Westminster election manifesto at a ceremony in Dungannon.
Leader in the North, Michelle O'Neill, said it is an opportunity to tell both the Tories and the DUP that the party rejects Brexit and rejects the border.
She said: "This election is a serious political fight back and call to action to defend our electorate whose democratic and human rights are under ferocious assault by the Tories and the DUP.
"We must keep the momentum going and to make our voices heard and our anger felt by the spineless British Tory Government in London.
"We have put forward a credible alternative to Brexit with our case for the north to achieve designated special status within the EU and it has already received significant support in Europe.
"The choice for voters is clear; vote for parties that will sit on the side of the Tories and their cuts and for Brexit or with us in Sinn Féin to safeguard their rights, agreements, prosperity and our future in the EU with the rest of Ireland and who are anti-Brexit."
