I’ve been to some big parades in my time, but that was unbelievable. Numbers wouldn’t stop at 100,000 the route was lined solid for 4 miles, several deep in some places.

I'm a huge fan of yours Nigel, have followed you for many many years. You are wrong on this subject. Ukraine is not NATO, nor is it a threat to Russia. Putin has created the crisis in 2014 against the wishes of the Ukrainian people. He has invaded now 3 times since then.

I’m a DUP voter, I’ve not met too many unionists who accept the Protocol. Nor will I ever vote for a party who implement it or anything that harms the Union. The Protocol fundamentally changes NIs place within the Union without anyone’s agreement. Unacceptable.

Two questions.
How many working tanks can they produce per month?
Secondly what did this company stop producing to focus on tanks?
Ukraine is taking out 30+ tanks per week at present. Russia I imagine can’t replace anywhere near these numbers.

It’s the rapid change. Dublin and many large Irish towns have changed rapidly in the past 5 years. Add to that refugees, illegal immigrants the undocumented and that 4% could note be 8%. The mass numbers aren’t stopping, what will the place be like in another 5-10 years?

Britain lent $3 billions to Ukraine. They supplied weapons and defensive capabilities. They sent military advisors to Ukraine pre invasion. They’ve sent aid, applied sanctions and committed to sending further weapons. They support removal from Swift. EU is slow to do anything

Because when the PM says he’s a proud Unionist he’s speaking of his own sovereign country and being proud of it. When the Irish PM says UI he’s talking externally about wanting to breakup another country and take part of their land. That’s obviously controversial and unhelpful!

I genuinely fear for the future of political Unionism if the sea border is not removed. A vast % of Uniobist voters will not vote DUP as a result of a deal. This will divide Unionism there is no doubt, more seats will be lost! The days of rallying round are gone.
For what gain?
