Unionist Grouping
A new unionist movement designed to campaign against the current Stormont regime will be officially launched this Friday.
A pamphlet to be contained within Friday evening’s editions of the Belfast Telegraph will spell out details of the organisation - including its title.
Former DUP MEP Jim Allister is expected to be confirmed as chairman of the organisation, following a series of invitation-only meetings over recent months.
It will also spell out opposition to the current mandatory coalition at Stormont and argue that, without a more acceptable form of devolution, Northern Ireland should be governed as an integral part of the United Kingdom.
In Wales the Unionists are active as well:
Now the Labour Party in Islwyn – represented by Lord Kinnock until 1995 – has distributed a leaflet which criticises the idea of the Assembly being granted more powers.
