It would be a sad day for Ulster if sausages mean more than the unborn

Jeffrey Donaldson is to be commended for stating in his interview with the London Times that the DUP was not “in the business of implementing the protocol if it continued to damage the province’s relationship with Britain”.

I am not alone however in wishing he had also intimated that the DUP was “not going to be in the business of implementing the commissioning of abortion services as it continues to damage the province’s relationship with the Almighty”, though he still has time to say that.

It would be a sad day for Ulster if sausages mean more than the unborn.
