Letter: Chris Heaton-Harris is not doing his job in getting the sea border removed - he should have his pay cut to motivate him
The secretary of state for Northern Ireland, Chris Heaton-Harris MP, in a recent interview has hinted he could cut the salary of MLAs once again if the DUP doesn’t return to Stormont.
Has he forgotten why there is no executive? It is because of his government's constitutional sell-out to the EU by placing and rigorously implementing a customs border within the UK.

So Instead of trying to use political pressure to force unionists to accept something so fundamentally against basic unionist ideology which we will never compromise on, he should finally realise what has to be done for the return of Stormont and get down to work on restoring NI’s place within the UK.
