TUV leader Jim Allister set his priority as “reunifying the United Kingdom” as he unveiled General Election candidates that included several former DUP members
, including former Stormont health minister Jim Wells .
It had already decided not to run in North Down to clear a path for independent unionist Alex Easton and, on Friday, Mr Allister said candidates would also not run in Fermanagh and South Tyrone – where the sole unionist is now set to be the UUP’s Diana Armstrong – and Upper Bann. At the candidate launch event in Co Antrim, Mr Allister restated his opposition to the deal the DUP struck with the UK Government over post-Brexit trade barriers that paved the way for the restoration of devolution at Stormont in February.
Mr Allister alleged Mr Robinson had his “fingerprints all over” the deal, as he accused the DUP of signing up to arrangements that had effectively ended the United Kingdom as an entity. The former Executive minister said he was “absolutely disgusted” with the direction the DUP had taken in the last two years as he claimed the deal that restored Stormont was “unravelling”.
