TUV leader Jim Allister has said the DUP will become 'Protocol slaves' if the party agrees to restore Stormont following the Windsor Framework deal
The DUP will become "Protocol slaves" if the party agrees to restore Stormont following the Windsor Framework deal, TUV leader Jim Allister has said.
Asked if the DUP was stalling on deciding whether to end its block on power-sharing until after May's council elections, Mr Allister said: "I can tell you this: No-one is wondering where TUV will stand the morning after the council elections. Mr Allister said he was unsure if there was a "split" in the DUP but added: "I do discern that there is more enthusiasm from some than others to make their peace with the Protocol."
Mr Allister dismissed suggestions from some opinion polls that TUV support has waned since last year's Assembly election. From the Northern Ireland Protocol to other thorny issues inside Stormont and exclusive interviews - we’ve got you covered.Mr Allister brushed off how TUV Assembly election candidate Jordan Doran was recently co-opted as a DUP councillor in North Belfast, describing him as a "practitioner of position before principle".
Mr Allister also questioned the DUP's decision to field a council election candidate in his North Antrim constituency who has faced criticism for past social media posts. Mr Allister said it was "disappointing" to lose from TUV a councillor who came close to becoming the party's second ever MLA.
