DUP and collapsing the Executive:
Damage limitation 1:
> Collapse it. Gamble on unionism praising them Vs nationalism galvainising
Damage limitation 2:
> Don't collapse it. Gamble on praise of governing. Nationalism galvanised via. Drumcree hate fest.
- Nationalism wins!
This is typical of archaic unionism.
Pretending that they're so superior that others successes are, in fact a misfortune.
Was the same when UDR/RUC et al where murdering and collusion called out "not our boys!"
Not going back...
Ulster Unionist Peer Lord Empey has claimed that the Drumcree dispute has “boomeranged on the long-term aims of republicans”.

- Let's hear who people should vote for & why: brave enough, Christopher?...
A Belfast businessman has backed away from plans to stand in next year’s council election.

Siege mentality rules the waves.

The "Michelle O'Neill must go!" Isn't supported by the DUP.
Amazing that social media campaigners and noise think this is a viable strategy.
> If Ms. O'Neill was removed - what then?
@AlexKane221b | @rodneyedwards
Anyone else really bored of the same nationalist and unionist commentators being platformed?
Narrative saturation: The same message over, and over...
> Parties better beware not to push people into apathy mode!
Has Ian Paisley been interviewed by the DUP internal inquiry team in relation to Jeffrey Donaldson crimes?
@JimGamble_INEQE - What stage is the inquiry at & do you foresee a report coming before January 2027?
"Four to six months" - Your original timetable. (June 2026)
Three years before Jeffrey Donaldson was arrested, DUP MP Ian Paisley said he had spoken to someone he said was a “victim” of Donaldson - and he tried to use that information for political ends. The Belfast Telegraph has obtained the evidence.

"Michelle O'Neill must go" - @carlalockhart

- Media & obvious agendas for a few years may boost this, the public understands the game..
Does NI matter? #Budget26
- Last budget brought NI
> £370m through Barnett formula
> £235m for public services
2026 = Fair funding for Stormont, NHS, schools, housing & communities?
- With a £1.6bn funding gap looming, NI cannot afford more uncertainty: who cares?..
