🗣'The DUP is clearly trying to navigate a path that avoids triggering a split over the Windsor Framework, both within the party and among unionist voters.'
It should come as no great surprise that the DUP plans to oppose a parliamentary vote as part of the Windsor Framework.
It is a setback for the Prime Minister, who has argued the Stormont Brake is a key concession from the European Union that addresses unionist concerns of a "democratic deficit". DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson made clear party officers came to a "unanimous" decision. It follows speculation of differences in opinion in the DUP's Westminster team.
He restated the party's concerns on which they want more "clarification, change and re-working", but he did not rule out reviving Stormont power-sharing. With the DUP leader looking over his shoulder at TUV’s Jim Allister, a final decision on whether to return to Stormont seems unlikely to happen this side of council elections in May.
