Don’t pay one of them. why are these people getting a wage….”our elect” get out of the Stone Age and start to actually run a Government and help the people and the young coming through

ArtCrunchy DUP nutters

Cut their pay now, then again in January and keep doing until the wasters turn up

They want rid of the protocol to feel closer to Britain, but it’s the British government in court fighting to keep it. It doesn’t make sense, if they want to remain part of the UK they better wise up, Westminster isn’t going to keep putting up with their crap. UnitedIreland

just leave them out in the cold......

They cant handle being voted out.

Surprise surprise!

Of course it has, didn't need to be a medium to know DUP stance.

The DUP are so thick! The most vulnerable in our wee country are the elderly. And the majority are from the unionist community!!

Another example of the absolute buffoonery of our politicians. Utterly, utterly useless. Please stop embarrassing the good honest hard working people of this country. 🇬🇧🇮🇪

Stormont stalemate: Assembly to be recalled for fifth time since MayPoliticians are to return to Stormont in a bid to elect a new Speaker for the fifth time since May's election. And the duponline will turn its back on the ppl of the North again. For something they caused themselves with their 'Never' politics. Ppl across the North will suffer this winter as a result of their childish stance on an issue between their beloved UKG and the EU. Pathetic Isn't it interesting that the others in Stormont apart from the DUP & TUV are happy to dance to the SF/PIRA army council drugs crime gangs tune. I hope the republican Alliance, SDLP, PBP, Greens & UUP can find their voice & condemn the SF/PIRA murderous drugs & crime gang links. Publicity stunt👍
