Unionist Unity?
I see two leading members of the UUP have endorsed the DUP's candidate for the upcoming British general election in the South Belfast constituency. Former UUP leader James Molyneaux and the constituency's former MP, Martin Smyth, are pictured on an election leaflet sent out on behalf of the DUP candidate, Jimmy Spratt.
Mr Spratt, a former head of the Police Federation, is standing against Ulster Unionist Michael McGimpsey in South Belfast.
Sinn Fein must be loving this. The tactics of Sinn Fein are akin to military tactics - hurt unionism by causing divisions within it. At a time when unonists should be united, instead they're at each others throats. Fools.
