Statement by TUV Newry and Armagh candidate Keith Ratcliffe:
“I was proud to stand with fellow Loyalists and Unionists at recent anti-Protocol protests in Markethill and Portadown. It was these protests which gave some of our Unionist politicians a wake-up call about the implications of the Protocol. I will continue to stand with grassroots Unionists in expressing their human right to peacefully protest.
“If elected, I pledge to take this protest to the very halls of power in Northern Ireland.
“The Protocol will not be overturned by feebly participating in the system which ensures its implementation.”
