"Unionism seems to be in a place were everybody is shouting at each other."

Former DUP special adviser @timcairns tells @MarkCarruthers7

[BBC The View @bbctheview]

"At this stage it would be a surprise if John Finucane didn't run" in the Assembly election.

Former Irish News editor Noel Doran says #Drumcree has been "something of a gamechanger" for nationalism.

"He's doing the best job that he can, this is not a good move for Gavin Robinson."

@MarkCarruthers7 asks @SuzyJourno about DUP MP Carla Lockhart's decision to stand down as a party officer.

[BBC The View @bbctheview]

"There are unrivalled opportunities for Northern Ireland to be prosperous and unfortunately we are on programmes like this showing dis-unity."

UUP leader @JonBurrowsMLA

Unionist unity?

DUP leader @GRobinsonDUP & TUV leader @JimAllister clash over powersharing at Stormont.

"How do you think she quit, she spoke to me."

@MarkCarruthers7 asks DUP leader @GRobinsonDUP how he found out his colleague @carlalockhart had stood down as a DUP party officer.

[BBC The View @bbctheview]

"I did warn at the outset that a legal victory at Drumcree with the march could turn into a strategic defeat, that it could end up dividing unionism and galvanising the Sinn Féin vote. It has turned out to be that way."

UUP leader @JonBurrowsMLA

@MarkCarruthers7 #BBCTheView

[BBC The View @bbctheview]

"It turns out all you did was profound nothing and you've allowed Sinn Fein off the hook and they're laughing at you."

@JimAllister tells @MarkCarruthers7

[BBC The View @bbctheview]

Tonight DUP MP @carlalockhart resigned as a DUP officer, a story first reported by @SuzyJourno

DUP party leader @GRobinsonDUP says he's "sorry to see that it has occurred and she remains a key part of our team."

Philip Barden, a solicitor who's represented a numer of Troubles veterans, including two soliders accused of murder in 1974, says past decisions by NI prosecutors were not "fair" or "reliable"

[BBC The View @bbctheview]

The government plans to give the Attorney General in London - rather than prosecutors here - the power to decide if someone should be put on trial for serious offences committed during the Troubles. Mark Thompson of @RelsForJustice tells @MarkCarruthers7 why they oppose the move
