Life is getting interesting in #Unionist Ireland Upper. #Dup MLA Buckley calling for a meeting of all three party leaders so they can unify the vote as much as possible. Burrows #UUP unelected leader & Robinson MP DUP leader (under pressure from his own MLAs & MP) have agreed. Silence from angry Allister MP #TUV leader. Dissenting DUP MP Lockhart hasn’t said anything, but I suspect the TUV are waiting and hoping to get her to join their camp. (1/3)

That weakens the other two and would give the TUV the upper hand. Add in an extraordinary statement from Lockhart about the Theses Luther nailed to a church door back in 1517, paralleled by a similar one from loyalist Temu Lawyer, Bryson: which sets those two apart from everyone else. And then there’s a meeting being hosted in Derry at the end of November which includes four DUP politicians only, to discuss the unionist way forward. What have they all in common? Egos. (2/3)
