NI Conservatives Chairman, Harry Cullen has welcomed the pronouncement by the Pro Vice Chancellor of the University of Ulster that the Labour Party has a 'lack of distinct policies'
"A month after being appointed by the Labour Party to an independent commission she has discovered what some of us already knew and what the UK public suspect - the Labour Party is clueless."
Mr Cullen went on to challenge Professor Heenan to come clean on her position with regard to the Labour Party.
"The Labour Party continues to discriminate against Northern Ireland. It refuses to allow Labour members in NI to stand for election and denies the people of NI the opportunity to pass judgement on the Labour party at the ballot box."
"In agreeing to sit on a Labour Party organised commission is she endorsing the exclusion of Northern Ireland residents from full participation in Labour Party politics?"
