Northern Ireland’s political podcast Stormont Sources is back — and this week, David McCann, Tim Cairns, and Michael McKernan unpack the biggest stories in NI politics.

🏛️ Main topics:

• The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) held its annual conference — but Mike Nesbitt’s speech fell flat. Is this the end for the “grand old party” of unionism?
• Who could replace Mike Nesbitt — John Burroughs, Robbie Butler, or a return for Doug Beattie?
• What is the point of the UUP in 2025? Can liberal unionism survive, or is it time to dissolve and start anew?
• Plus: Philip Brett’s Assembly row over “double standards” in media condemnation — is he right?

From the legacy of the Good Friday Agreement to the rise of the TUV and DUP’s internal liberal wing, David, Tim and Michael dive deep into the identity crisis at the heart of unionism.
