Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:
“Whoever gets angry over our principled stand and that of grassroots unionism, TUV has no apology to make for keeping the focus, and getting others to focus, on the dire constitutional consequences of the Union-dismantling Protocol. Indeed, when the DUP was voting in the Assembly to accept 45 EU laws (8/12/20) and building the Poots Posts and when Sir Jeffrey was proclaiming customs checks posed no constitutional threat, it was TUV that called them out.
“We will not hesitate to do so again, if the DUP backslides into becoming Protocol implementers. Our mission is to ensure they don’t, but if they do, then we will not be deterred from continuing to tell the truth about the iniquitous Protocol.”
