Yesterday Sinn Fein announced it wouldn't run in the south Belfast constituency, where the SDLP's Claire Hanna and Alliance's Paula Bradshaw are hoping to secure the remain vote. There have now been calls from a former Ulster Unionist chairman for the party to stand aside in favour of the DUP candidate Emma Little Pengelly. And we can confirm this morning that the Green Party will be formally endorsing Claire Hanna's bid. But no confirmation from the UUP yet about whether or not they will run a candidate. Vinny was joined by Green Party NI leader Clare Bailey and former UUP Chairman David Campbell.
