DUP is now taking the right approach on tackling the Northern Ireland Protocol — sharing power with Sinn Fein at Stormont needs to be next

If it is serious, the DUP’s new found resolution to tackle the Northern Ireland Protocol will be warmly welcomed by all true unionists as it remains a major threat to the Union.

Hopefully the rapid approach of the next Stormont election will prod the party to take a similar approach to another major threat, namely mandatory power sharing with those whose primary goal is the demise of Northern Ireland.

Both threats need to be eliminated as a matter of urgency.
