the dup says it won t comment on internal party processes. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page explainedhe uk, goods arriving here from england, scotland and wales have to be checked, because northern ireland in effect remains in the eu single market for goods. so, the big issue in the background has been discontent in the dup about how the party's leadership has been tackling that particular issue. there is some thinking that the northern ireland protocol should have been more strongly opposed by arlene foster. another issue is that some of the more conservative members of the party perceive miss foster has been taken a softer stance on social issues such as lgbt rights. two events in the last week or so have brought things to a head. one was the continuance of meetings between dup ministers here at stormont and their counterparts in dublin. the politicians in the dup who want a harder stance on brexit want to minimise cooperation with dublin, and also there was a vote in the northern ireland assembly last week on gay conversion therapy, a motion to ban gay conversion therapy. most of t
