“What matters is not the DUP’s latest spin on its Donaldson Deal, as it pivots in circles, but the substance of their deal which carries Gavin Robinson’s indelible fingerprints. None of the substance of their deal has changed.
“Under the DUP deal the Irish Sea border stays, EU law stays and economic alignment with the Republic stays. We continue to be disenfranchised from making the laws in over 300 areas of legislation, because those matters lie with a foreign parliament.
“Not one word of the Protocol was changed by the DUP deal.
“The fact they brazenly lied about these issues, infamously declaring, “Zero checks, Zero paperwork”, is the background against which the latest DUP promises will be measured.
“Now, they say EU law must go and the sea border must go – the very things they told us they had removed! Do they take voters for fools?
“The somersaulting DUP leadership may have no shame, but Unionist voters have enough discernment to know who they can trust.”
