DUP MLAs and MPs will be held accountable by the electorate for the leadership positions they endorse
By Jamie Bryson It is trite to point out that the DUP MLAs and MPs will select the new leader. As such 18 votes is all that is required for either Edwin Poots or Sir Jeffrey Donaldson to attain the leadership of the party. However, each DUP MLA and MP who casts a vote does […]
EDITORIAL: Foster remaining for two months is an impediment to the policy progress which must be made
By Jamie Bryson There has been some confused analysis that this somehow related to a vote on gay conversion therapy. This is simply untrue.

A Perfect Storm- The growing discontent across grassroots unionism
By Jamie Bryson At the centre of the perfect storm brewing in Northern Ireland is the root cause of all the problems unionism has encountered over the past two decades, the Belfast Agreement.

EDITORIAL: Why Unionism and Loyalism must withdraw all support for the PSNI in defence of the rule of law
By Jamie Bryson The DUP leader and First Minister Arlene Foster has finally arrived at the realisation that the Chief Constable’s position is “untenable”.

The latest targeting of Nolan is another strand of a sophisticated republican campaign to control public discourse
By Jamie Bryson @JamieBrysonCPNI A number of years ago Sinn Fein publicly advertised for “social media activists”. What precisely are these activists deployed to do? The answer of course is obvious; to engage in persistent social media trolling and repetition of Sinn Fein messaging. There is the ‘Shinnerbot’ social media campaigns; this is largely played […]
The union-wrecking Protocol- shredding cross community consent- illuminates the ‘process’ is really about ensuring nationalist supremacy
By Jamie Bryson The Secretary of State, without a hint of shame, claimed last week that he was pro union. Of course- in keeping with the two tier Belfast Agreement- nationalists howled in outrage, lecturing us all on the requirement for the Secretary of State to be “neutral” as a “co-guarantor” of the agreement. There […]
‘Even in Guantanamo Bay prisoners are allowed to exercise’- Why we must resist another draconian lockdown
By Jamie Bryson A campaign has been launched by gym owners in Northern Ireland. In it they highlight a number of salient points. For many, the ability to go to the gym and exercise is an essential part of physical and mental health. People may not have the luxury of a large BT9 garden or […]

By Jamie Bryson The Belfast Agreement is persistently evoked every time nationalism has another insatiable demand. That tells you something; when nationalism seek to advance their political objectives, their weapon of choice is the Belfast Agreement. If that pernicious agreement was actually about equality and respect for all traditions, then it would stand to reason […]
