TUV Leader Jim Allister Speaks to Belfast Live

TUV Leader Jim Allister sat down to speak with Belfast Live ahead of the 2023 TUV party conference this weekend.
Allister said he believes there are "differing tensions" within the DUP over whether to accept the Windsor Framework and that the DUP will become Protocol slaves if they restore Stormont with the Windsor Framework.

@@joprocter4573 The only People that haven't moved on from the Past History of British Colonialism in Ireland, are the Unionists that call themselves Loyalists to a dead Monarchy. There are over 300,000 English Nationalists born and bred living and working in the 26 Counties of Ireland, that like living amongst the Irish People and are welcome. Partition is in its final years now, and we will all move on together eventually.

I have NEVER heard him present an economic proposal, never heard him comment on healing old wounds or anything along those lines. He's just no, never and all that nonsense. A mini Paisley without any of the charisma, intelligence or vote numbers. Finish the interview Jim, your mum needs to use her spare room.
