It is worth observing, however, that Jim Allister, in his speech at the TUV conference, devoted his opening remarks to the Conservatives and Unionists, rather than the DUP.

It's looking definitely good enough for Martin McGuinness, almost certainly good enough for David Cameron and probably good enough for Peter Robinson. However today the TUV's Jim Allister thought he had spotted a sleight of hand in the Prime Minister's package. claiming that any cash drawn from the...
