Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:-
“It’s not mind games we need from the Secretary of State over an election, but prioritisation of recovery from the EU of full U.K. sovereignty over the part of the U.K. of which he is Secretary of State.
“As Secretary of State his first priority, especially as a ‘Conservative & Unionist’, should be to stabilise Northern Ireland by restoring constitutional certainty through recovering from the EU its ill-gotten sovereignty over Northern Ireland.
“He is not really SOS of NI if it is EU laws that govern much of our economy under a Protocol which decrees GB a foreign country when it comes to importing its goods here. It is righting this wrong which should be occupying Chris Heston-Harris, rather than trying to railroad unionists into operating the Union-dismantling Protocol which he is failing to remove.”
