'There's no money': Health, Education and abortion key issues in South Antrim

With only one week to go until Northern Ireland goes to the polls as part of the UK General Election on 4 July, we are continuing our tour of each constituency to hear the issues which matter to our readers.

The state of the health service is an issue that came up multiple times with concerns around how it would be funded a major priority for some. Meanwhile, one man told us: "They have to get something done about . But I don't think there is going to be anything done because the British aren't going to cough up the money."

Looking at who our next Prime Minister might be, we also asked for people's opinions on both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer. Both leaders had a mixed reception in the constituency. A man added: "I think he was very brave coming in at covid and taking that risk to save thousands of jobs and businesses and maybe people have forgotten that. It looks like he is maybe going to be voted out but I think he is a straight man and he is an honest man and I think a lot more people should be voting for the person not just the party."

"It looks very like he is going to get in but as a pensioner I am concerned about what he is going to do. The triple-lock might go the first day he comes in and while it doesn't really affect me, I don't like what he might do on some of the schools and the tax he might impose here."
