On 3rd October 2019 current party leader Jeffrey Donaldson was interviewed by Mark Carruthers who pointed out that all the other parties were against the DUP Protocol. Donaldson argued in favour of the Protocol and said the UK govt were on the DUP's side.

Donaldson has lied on radio just now saying the NI Protocol was costing the NI economy £100,000 every hour. This figure is fiction. It has no basis in fact. The NI economy is outperforming the UK economy and the UK Govt's figures expect the Protocol to reduce the harm of Brexit.

I can't think of a politician who so consistently demonstrates her finger isn't on the pulse. Failed upwards anyway. She backed Johnson the first time (resigned in disgrace), backed Truss (resigned in a record 46 days), backed Johnson again this weekend - poof 💨, he's gone.

All the smug nodding, threatening EU to take or leave Johnson's deal but if they don't agree DUP would be happy with a no deal Brexit. These 3 were in way over their heads. Unfortunately we're left with the consequences of their incompetence while they blame everybody else.
Listen to the last sentence in this clip from 2nd October 2019, outside the Conservative party conference. Foster says "If the EU reject this then we'll enter into no deal". A gun was being put to the head of other NI parties and business organisations.

Don't make the mistake of sending them back to Westminster again.
Rhymes with runts.
Nurses have voted to come out on strike over pay. If you're a nurse or a friend or someone in your family is a nurse please remember that ALL 10 DUP MPs voted against pay rises for nurses in 2017. They voted with the Tories.
