The DUP thread

[seafoid]

Iniitially the DUP were pro Protocol. Now that almost all of the complaints have been addressed they probably won't get much mileage out of being contrary.

Arlene Foster and other leading members had even begun a strategy of welcoming the "new opportunities" afforded by Brexit: a strategy which crashed and burned as soon as people began contacting newspapers and radio phone-ins with an ever-lengthening list of the inconveniences and non-deliveries they were experiencing

SNP are now arguing that Scotland should get the same EU deal that the DUP are possibly going to reject 😂

SNP made some fool of Sunak today- he made some own goal trying to tel the north how good they have it now with all the benefits of being in the EU. Which Sunak is denying the Scots...

Jeffrey really has no control over his party's MPs. They seem to be on a solo run yet again.

Sorcha Eastwood is not good at this!

Sorcha has Jim on strings. If hes not careful he'll blow a gasket

I thought she was useless and the one seat jibe was petty.

If winding Jim up is a measure of politician performance we've set a very low bar as it looks very easy!

She said absolutely nothing of substance bar repeating herself a number of times saying she wanted back into Stormont.

Whats she meant to say when Jims busy talking over everyone swearing his allegiance to the union?

She could have said NI is in the Union until a referendum says otherwise... Jim took a gamble on Brexit pulling NI away from the South and he lost so it turned out the opposite.

Real world examples of why they wanted rigorous implementation of the protocol and real world examples of how this will help NI now... the medicines part of the new deal is massive and I've heard nobody mention it yet!!

Why would she have to say NI is in the union. Everyone knows it is. That's a fact. Jim's the one yapping at it saying he's being subjugated and feels less british
