What could possibly go wrong there? We should watch on with interest, to see how this all pans out.

I can't view that but is there a Seymour Sweeney involved per chance?

Not that I can see, but him & Junior are usually intertwined.

Middle East - sorted.
Husband slotted in to nice wee EA job - check.
Lost twice in South Belfast, but what about a wee switch to Lagan Valley - you bet.

Anything else?
Any chance of an extra £14,000 a year, for working on a Saturday?

I am sure that with what is going on in the world at the minute the last thing the PM probably needed in his schedule was to have to sit down with these clampets.

No surprise EP and M O'N out with the begging bowl as usual.

Aye he's bigger things to be at, like suppressing anti-Zionist protest and  aiding a genocide in Gaza and giving US/Israel support in all illegal attack on Iran... maybe no harm to distract him from that for a while.
Don't disagree with you on those other two muppets lining their own pockets and pushing for huge MLA pay hikes... gravy train Stormont.

They are all saying it's terrible as they can say it's not up to them!

Might distract him from kissing up to Israel or helping Trump out with their latest slaughtering of civillians.

Not DUP related but look how the BBC frame this pedophile story:

Former teacher jailed for indecently assaulting four girls




If you dig deeper into the article you then find out his last job was a UUP researcher and speechwriter right up to 2017.

Now tell me if this was a SF party member would that story of been framed any differently.

You would think the DUP would applaud the statue of a past Westminster MP going up in West Belfast.

The DUP are going all in on this "culture war" thingy and up till now the Shinners haven't really bit, but Gordon Lyons of Líofa fame pulling the funding on dual language signs seems to have stirred them.

The very same lad who upped the grant for musical instruments for "community bands" to over £1M last year.

Then, just to top it all off, that self-appointed idiot, David Campbell, of the Loyalist Communities Council, gave him a character reference.

When it comes to the DUP, for a party that originally wanted to save Ulster from sodomy, a fair few of their elected councillors seem to have actively enjoyed such activities, going by various court reports.

Going back as far as Kincora, there have always been mysterious & unexplained links between Loyalism, in general & paedophile activities.

I think I'm past it with regards this place, head down work and move on, its depressing and bleak, with the far right and to an extent the far far left they are a bunch of dicks who just thrive on anything to keep the division going.

As for a UI we are getting further and further away, I'm 54, I won't see it in my life time, as the underbelly of hate just needs stirring, getting the numbers won't be enough to sway the vote I feel

Getting the numbers will be enough to sway the vote.

Anything other than that, will be anti democratic and we know how democratic the DUP and UUP are or they profess.

If Reform get in at the next election they might be happy to offload this (in their eyes) basket case and drain on money.

For a mere £5,000,000 contribution towards his....ahem...."long-term personal security" costs, you should be able to get Prime Minister Farage to do whatever your heart desires. No declaration required.

The single, biggest personal donation in UK political history.

Christopher Harborne didn't give it for the benefit of his or indeed Farage's health and he's also donated £22M already to the Reform party.
Why?
