Statement by TUV spokesperson Anna Henry: “The headline this evening is that the report surrounding the breach of lockdown restrictions by Boris Johnson has been approved. “I am totally in favour of transparency and accountability. If there has been wrong doings then there should be repercussions. “Certainly, few Unionists will shed tears for Boris Johnson […]
Statement by TUV Upper Bann Assembly candidate Darrin Foster: “I welcome today’s announcement that vaccine passports will no longer be required to enter hospitality.
