'It's frustrating this constituency is always first under the knife.'
SDLP MP Claire Hanna has said planned boundary changes cement her constituency as the "most diverse" in Northern Ireland.
Ms Hanna won her South Belfast seat in the 2019 election with a 57% majority, ousting the DUP Brexiteer Emma Little-Pengelly. The republican party last year made a submission to the Boundary Commission proposing that the South Belfast constituency was axed, dividing it between East and West Belfast. "I'm sorry to lose some neighbours in Wynchurch and Woodstock, however, it's a big welcome to the neighbourhood for Saintfield and Moneyreagh constituents.She added: "I've been fortunate and delighted to represent the constituency at Westminster since 2019 and will be campaigning hard, on the basis of my record and work rate, to retain the seat in the anticipated 2024 election.
