Below are Jim Allister’s comments in the Assembly today on the HMICFRS inspection of the PSNI’s handling of the Bobby Storey funeral: “The report was a whitewash, and it was never intended to be otherwise.

Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister: “Today’s report by Her Majesty’s Inspector of Constabulary amounts to yet another attempt to tell the people of Northern Ireland to move on, nothing to see here, when we all know what the truth of the matter was.

Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:- “With the rest of the U.K. every day leaving Northern Ireland further and further behind in easing COVID restrictions, it is imperative that at tomorrow’s review the Executive gets with the programme.

Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:- “While the overdue return to school for our children is welcome, Timid Tuesday delivered little else. “Once more the Executive dithered. Another disappointment for hard pressed retailers and business. “While the other U.K. nations move forward, with dates and targets, Stormont can’t even explain the targets […]
Statement by TUV East Londonderry spokesperson Jordan Armstrong: “The Executive’s decision to bin their plan to drag P1-3 children back out of school is welcome.
