We need unionist unity – behind the principled stance of the TUV

In response to calls for unionist unity, I concur wholeheartedly, and hope someday all unionists can unite behind the common objective of securing our position in the United Kingdom with the removal of the NI Protocol and the restoration of the Acts of Union.

No unionist can ever accept anything else, and if all unionists can unite behind the principled stance of TUV in this regard, then that would go a long way to attaining the unity that so many unionists desire.

Here we stand, we can do no other.

Stephen Cooper, Councillor, TUV, Comber
