"In Despair"

Mark Devenport | 15:39 UK time, Friday, 2 May 2008

That's how Nigel Dodds sums up the mood of Labour MPs reflecting on the local election results in England and Wales. I drove up to his new north Belfast constituency office to record an interview with the Enterprise Minister for tomorrow's Inside Politics.

The programme covers next week's investment conference, the Independent Monitoring Commission's verdict on Paul Quinn's murder and the perspective of Westminister's 4th largest party on Labour's latest election setbacks.

The North Belfast MP plays his cards close to his chest when questioned about his party's attitude to the forthcoming vote on the detention of terror suspects for 42 days without charge. I got the sense that the soon to be DUP Deputy Leader is looking forward with some relish to the possibility of a future hung parliament.

You can hear the interview with Nigel Dodds in full on Inside Politics at a quarter to one tomorrow afternoon on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Ulster.
