Mental health workers in Northern Ireland are warning the political stalemate is making people sick.

Secretary of State Chris Heaton-Harris says he'll call an election next week to try and revive Stormont.

But voters fear a poll will change nothing if the DUP continues to boycott power-sharing, over Brexit trade arrangements.

Laura Wylie from 'Links Counselling' says people shouldn’t be left in limbo:

"We need hope, we need stability and we need leadership.

"People need strong leadership because it is in uncertainty, it's in the grey zone and it's in the lack of clarity that people are struggling."
