Activists have accused the UK government of “not caring” about equal marriage in Northern Ireland, after a car crash meeting with Northern Ireland secretary Karen Bradley. Karen Bradley met with LGBT+ campaigners from Northern Ireland on Monday (March 18) who are fighting to break the impasse that has left Northern Ireland as the only part of the UK without equal marriage. Although Northern Ireland’s devolved government collapsed more than two years ago, the UK government has resisted pressure to directly impose a settlement on same-sex marriage, instead telling campaigners to wait until a hypothetical new power-sharing deal is agreed.
