Northern Ireland secretary says he will call Stormont election after attempts to restore executive fail

Summary by Ground News

Chris Heaton-Harris said he will provide an update on the snap Northern Ireland Assembly election next week. Stormont ministers, who have been operating in shadow form since the assembly collapsed earlier this year, also ceased to hold office at midnight. With no ministerial executive in place, the UK government has a legal duty to call another election.
