The DUP thread

[johnnycool]

That should be the end of Pengelly

She has already been thrown out on her ear, as both an MLA & as an MP, by the South Belfast electorate.

That's the beauty of the electoral system in the North of Ireland - the DUP merely switched her to Lagan Valley & made her Deputy First Minister, whilst parachuting Poots into South Belfast.

It's nearly impossible to reject a candidate at the polls, if the party decides that they're still of use.

ELP was in the donaldson faction at the time of the contentious leadership battle with Poots which Poots won and then was forced to stand down after he agreed to Irish language legislation which was already part of the New decade, new approach framework.

She'll be thrown under the bus but it won't change a thing if they all knew he was a sex pest, but if they knew about the rape and sexual abuse of a child then that's a whole different ball game.

Not sure where to put this at it's not DUP but didn't think we need a Nigel Farage thread.

Hes giving a statement at 2pm regarding his future in public life.

How do you prove ELP, or anyone , knew  though? Or did or didn't hear  any  rumours?

The Reform UK leader is at the centre of an ongoing sleaze inquiry over allegations that he did not correctly report a £5m gift from Christopher Harborne, a cryptocurrency billionaire, before the last general election.
If upheld, he could be suspended from the Commons, which could trigger a by-election in his Clacton constituency.
He is also facing a second investigation over undeclared donations from George Cottrell, one of his closest associates, who has been convicted of wire fraud in the US.

She didn't seem to know her daddy was in South Africa, quite often.

Resigned as an MP but running in the bye -election....a stunt I'd say but will be interesting where he stands if he losses the election.
