The first Drumcree in 1995 propelled David Trimble to leadership of the UUP two months later and paved the way to the GFA and major divisions within unionism. This latest one has reopened wounds from 1998 and fuelled new divisions: pro-assembly unionism vs destroy GFA unionism

Despite her senior colleagues downplaying the chances of Carla Lockhart leaving, she appears to be preparing to walk over Drumcree. Almost a decade ago, her party had 10 MPs. It now has half that number. And if 5 becomes 4, the DUP enters the danger zone. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/comme…

Lockhart’s exit from DUP would be huge body blow to party and doesn’t Gavin Robinson know it?

In July 2025, I warned about the perils of reheating Drumcree and was promptly ridiculed by Bryson, Allister, and Lockhart following High Court ruling. ​Where we are now? All three have successfully rejuvenated Sinn Féin, thrown Unionism into chaos, and offered no solutions.

The Parades Commission has once again ruled that the Orange Institution will be banned from parading along Garvaghy Road in 2025. This decision is hardly surprising—it marks the thirtieth consecutive...

Well, well. The Gavin, Jim, Jon show last night was a wonderfully bizarre blend of Whac-A-Mole, Pointless and the Sopranos—with Haribos thrown in for good measure. All that was missing was the custard pies.

I can now confirm after speaking to officers; that despite a firearms risk assement from the PSNI. Negotiators who were sent into the crowd and the air support unit were not briefed of any firearms risk. They are asking me why they weren’t told if one existed. @BelTel

I can confirm, despite the PSNI assessment that dissidents may have had ready access to weapons on Garvaghy road, no surveillance was launched to follow potential weapons. There was no contact with security services and no counter terrorism specialist firearms teams were put in place at any point. Serious questions now being asked of the PSNI that if they believed weapons were on the road why they did not follow that belief @BelTel

A 20-year campaign of child sexual abuse including rape, a harrowing judicial process, profound victim impact, and zero remorse. Jeffrey Donaldson will serve just 7.5 years behind bars, while Eleanor Donaldson walks free without a criminal conviction. A complete injustice.
