Poots built the Irish Sea border and now the DUP look likely to put him in charge of trying to rebuild their party.
Today, I announce my candidacy for leader of the Democratic Unionist Party. I love this country and its people and I look forward to engaging with party colleagues in the days ahead.

Good.
Hopefully that’ll be the end of it.
Think of how many doctors, nurses, consultations, surgeons, police officers, teachers etc that money could employ to make our lives better.
Coming up at 6pm... UTV can exclusively reveal that the redevelopment of Casement Park will cost over £300million - and the government won't plug the huge funding gap.

The man who has been plotting the coup behind the scenes for a number of months. The only thing the Poots camp has done to date is build the support base for TUV and UUP.

Nigel Dodds once again exposes the folly of the DUP deal but remains a member. Surely the time has come to say to the leadership this mess isn’t is my name and resign his membership.
Windsor Framework/Protocol is used to strike down Acts of the UK Parliament. Whatever your view on issues like immigration, the underlying problem of the supremacy of EU law in so many facets of life in Northern Ireland must be removed.

This DUP line is getting old already.
Sammy is smart enough to see the deceit in the Donaldson deal but doesn’t have the guts to stand with those opposing it.
Don’t be like Sammy who won’t accept there’s more to life than the DUP and will fixate on fear to try and get re-elected
The latest recruit to the TUV has said he would vote for the Alliance Party over another unionist.
At the weekend, Jim Allister effectively announced a General Election pact between the TUV & Pan Nationalism.
Unionists can see their scorched-earth policy for what it is.
