TUV leader Jim Allister is likely to push out Ian Paisley in DUP stronghold of North Antrim
Job done for Sinn Féin, but DUP face terrible night with high-profile lossesKeir Starmer set to be British prime minister amid landslide victory for Labour in UK election
The story of the election was the decline of the DUP, which – whatever the result of the seats remaining to be declared – has had a terrible night. This would make it a great day for the TUV; it was also a great day for the UUP, which got back on the scoreboard with its victory in South Antrim. Job done, as far as Sinn Féin is concerned; it will do much to rejuvenate the party after a bruising in the elections south of the Border in recent weeks.
