@dmcbfs They need to learn how to actually deliver tangible stuff, rather than burn all their political capital on culture-focused initiatives &/or projects in Belfast (e.g. Casement Park).

Not the first time we have had three Health Ministers in the same mandate. From 2011 to 2016, Poots, Wells and Hamilton held the job. Of the 9 people who have held the ministry since 1998, 4 of them are from the UUP. 8.6K views · 9 likes · 3 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →
@dmcbfs Were it that simple. Arlene decided to end win-win power sharing and sought instead to make sure Nationalists achieved nothing by democratic means.

Jon Burrows has two issues: first, defending his home patch, and second, his entire narrative is doing politics differently. The first is just the same old parish pump we've had here for decades, and it's no different from what's happened before. 11K views · 58 likes · 2 reposts · 14 replies Open on X →
If the UUP decided not to take Health, it would move to the next party, which I am almost sure is the DUP. 14.7K views · 39 likes · 4 reposts · 16 replies Open on X →
The next Health Minister will be the 9th person to hold the office since 1999. Also, the 4th from the UUP to hold the role (should they pick it again). 3.8K views · 19 likes · 1 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →
