Jim Allister refused to say whether he fears risk of splitting unionist vote
Last month, the TUV struck an electoral partnership with Reform UK that will see them run agreed candidates in Northern Ireland.
Asked whether it is his intention to run anti-protocol candidates from either his party or Reform in each of the 18 constituencies at the next general election, Mr Allister said it “certainly is the aspirational intention”. Mr Allister said that people who are “discomforted by” Brexit’s contentious Northern Ireland Protocol are entitled to have their say.
“If the greater number of unionists reject this Donaldson deal, then it’s dead in the water, and that’s the opportunity they’ll be given, and why shouldn’t they be,” Mr Allister said.
