Letter: Ex DUP leader wants members to keep views on deal private yet I recall when Jeffrey Donaldson ignored such hopes in the UUP

The former party leader has said members should express their views on the agreement privately within the party “even if they dream that the world is waiting with bated breath to hear their personal evaluation”.
