Responding to the DUP's support for a deal with Sinn Fein on policing & justice TUV Leader Jim Allister said:-

“The DUP MLAs who buckled tonight not only let themselves down, but, more importantly, let their country down as they gifted IRA/Sinn Fein their strategic goal of policing and justice to a terrorist-inclusive Executive. Sinn Fein could not have had this victory without them.

“The deal the DUP so meekly accepted tonight is the same deal they rejected on Monday. The deal hasn’t changed, only the snowmen of the DUP who melted once the heat came on.”
