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…

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.

3 bald men fighting over a comb whilst blaming @sinnfeinireland for hair loss.
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.

EXCLUSIVE: DUP MP Carla Lockhart quits as a party officer in a move which could lead to her leaving the party. She's been on a collision course with Gavin Robinson over Drumcree as she wants him to collapse the Executive now. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

Beggars belief that a Unionist blogger is given a platform via the Irish Times rather than numerous actual elected representatives (or even SPADS).

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

Police also said it was possible that loyalist paramilitaries who supported the parade would go to Portadown and that public disorder at Drumcree Church was possible @rtenews

Jeffrey Donaldson’s incessant trips to the developing world raise dark new questions about shadow career abroad: DUP MP visited African country 10 times in less than 3 years, helped flog weapons alongside a British general & worked with special forces man. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunda…

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.
