the new leader of the democratic unionist party, edwin poots, has chosen a close ally, paul givan, to from taking on responsibility when asked to do so. the issue which held up the appointment was the protection and promotion of the irish language. the biggest nationalist party, sinn fein, wanted a guarantee there will be legislation soon. the british government has now said it will pass a law at westminster if that doesn't happen at stormont. but many senior democratic unionists are deeply unhappy about that move because they see it as bypassing the devolved assembly. it's understood most dup assembly members even told their party leader not to appoint a first minister today. so, that means that although the power—sharing stalemate's been broken, there's still no real stability. the dup�*s main coalition partner hinted the problems were far from over. and on the issue of rights, we've seen the dup resist these. i don't expect that to change. after years of stop—sta rt governments, people in northern ireland are hoping for calmer times. it would be nice if they could work togelher— it

sirjeffrey donaldson has for the second time launched a bid to be the next leader of the democratic unionist party. edwin pootsy seems to be that the leadership does take over at the home. one would think that would be his most important task, trying to bring the party together after what is possibly its most internally bruising few weeks and it�*s half century history. in a statement launching his bid, sirjeffrey puts the focus on the northern ireland protocol. that is the trade border between northern ireland and the rest of the uk, which was brought in as a result of brexit. sirjeffrey says... to quote him, make no mistake, this is the number one issue facing our country, our people and our place within the united kingdom. sirjeffrey donaldson very much putting his finger on an issue that he feels means a lot to all unionists, this dislike for the northern ireland protocol, the sense that because there are checks on goods arriving here from the rest of the uk, there is a need for borders... that is something diminishes sense of britishness and as you seem, undermines northern ireland�*s place in the uk. i t

but it's really upset a lot of the politicians in the democratic unionist party who are not happy with the move that their leader, edwin pootswith the uk government. yeah, so help us out with the personalities here. you've got edwin poots who is the new dup leader, but he's not the first minister, because that is paul givan. and then you've got the dup who aren't very happy about what has worked its way through, and plenty of them are being very open and public about their unhappiness. yes, there has been a lot of bitterness in the dup since arlene foster was overthrown, really, and forced to step down. edwin poots, this is his 20th day on the job as leader, so he's very new in that office. he decided not to take up the job of first minister as well, as arlene foster had done, but he wanted paul givan, a protege of his, to take that role instead. and that is what he has been trying to work out for the last few days, since arlene foster officially stepped down on monday. as i say, it all came down to this wrangling over the status, the protection of the irish language. sinn fein saw a chance to get extra reassurances on that.
