Sinn Fein, SDLP to launch Westminster campaigns

The SDLP and Sinn Fein are to launch their election campaigns in Belfast today.

The SDLP are targeting West Tyrone, South and North Belfast as possible wins from the Ulster Unionist Party.

Sinn Fein meanwhile are also hoping to win in West Tyrone with party vice-president Pat Doherty, as well as Fermanagh-South Tyrone.

It says its firm line on policing, equality and cross-border bodies will win votes.
