Jim Allister is the voice of unionist grassroots

Jim Allister MLA speaks the truth on the EU and has been a consistent eurosceptic since being an MEP.

Therefore for me he is the true voice of the unionist grassroots in the Stormont assembly and speaks assuredly for us on the EU Protocol.

What a contrast to the Alliance Party hypocrisy on the protocol where Stewart Dickson MLA exclaimed ‘shame on the EU’ concerning the vaccine in the assembly. Alliance together with fellow travellers in SDLP and Sinn Fein have been the proponents of the protocol.

It is they who oppose our United Kingdom.

Sadly there were many unionists amongst the 105,925 electors who supported Naomi Long at the previous European election.

One hopes that Alliance hypocrisy on the EU protocol will backfire on them.
