Leo Varadkar’s picture may have appeared on a bonfire in Moygashel, Co Tyrone, but the real target of summer troublemaking is Jeffrey Donaldson, writes Newton Emerson via irishtimesoped
So Donaldson’s opponents smell weakness. However, keeping the focus on the sea border exposes their own weakness, as all their campaigns and protests against it have failed.It is clear some people have considered how to exploit this to keep pressure on the DUP leadership. For others, frustration has broken out more spontaneously and with less thought of putting Donaldson on the spot.
The DUP joined the TUV in condemning the rejection, but only through a comment from a councillor. The dispute then evaporated, amid general horror that anyone might unpick the 2016 deal. Her early day motion, a parliamentary irrelevance, did not mention Irish street signs and bore the names of only four of the DUP’s eight MPs, all loyal to the leadership, yet not including Donaldson.
