Anti DUP doesn't mean anti Unionist

[DUPLeader.bsky.social @DUPleader]

Oh hi @GBNEWS panel on the events in Belfast, most of which have never set foot in Belfast in their life and are now experts.

[DUPLeader.bsky.social @DUPleader]

@ArleneFosterUK Congratulations Arlene, glad you enjoyed the day.

Worlds most exciting economic zone... some might say..

[Choyaa @Choyaa13]

Undoubtedly unpopular with some Unionists, but the protest at Scarva was unacceptable. Masked men hurling obscenities and spraying a walking route with slurry does nothing but damage the community and Unionism itself.

Unionism is frequently its own worst enemy.

[DUPLeader.bsky.social @DUPleader]

Really impressed with Junior's contribution here.

@randal_olson Most striking bit is the individual parts of the UK.

Makerfield By-Election Update:
https://t.co/1qzdOOW1SO

Survation conducted a new poll of the Makerfield constituency. Fieldwork was conducted by telephone among 518 adults in the constituency between 26th May and 1st June 2026. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Methodology Statement
Population Sampled: All residents aged 18+ living in the Makerfield parliamentary constituency.

Total Sample Size: 518

Data Collection Method: Telephone interview. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Fieldwork Dates: 26th May – 1st June 2026

Data Weighting: Data were weighted to the profile of all adults in Makerfield constituency aged 18+. Data were weighted by age, sex, ward and 2024 General Election vote.

Targets for the weighted data were derived from Office for National Statistics data and the results of the 2024 UK General Election.

Margin of Error: Because only a sample of the full population was interviewed, all results are subject to a margin of error. For example, in a question where 50% gave a particular answer, with a sample of 518 it is 95% certain that the “true” value would fall within 4.8 percentage points of the sample result.

Headline by-election voting intention - Table V2 (likelihood-weighted, undecided/refused removed, no squeeze):

Candidate / Party / Vote share

Andy Burnham - Labour 49%
Robert Kenyon - Reform UK 39%
Rebecca Shepherd - Restore Britain 8%
Sarah Wakefield - Green Party 2%
Jake Austin - Liberal Democrat 1%
Michael Winstanley - Conservative 1%
Another party <1%

Base: likely voters, factored by likelihood to vote, with undecided and refused voters removed

@MatthewBerman Think there was a black mirror episode on this.

[DUPLeader.bsky.social @DUPleader]

@DeItaone Must have got his family to buy some stock.

[Richard Sefton @richardosefton]

I hate to use a random guy as an example but it’s just not fair that these people, who can’t work out how utterly ridiculously stupid they sound, are larger in number than the rest of us.

It pisses me off how they are openly wrecking our country

[Doug Beattie @BeattieDoug]

Let me be straight…. the tweets are the same tweets I apologised for 4yrs ago. I removed the majority but one remained from 2013 which I didn’t realise.

The abusive language was a call from Jon Burrows in a meeting to be open, direct &amp; leave nothing off the table. I was direct!

[Suzanne Breen @SuzyJourno]

EXCLUSIVE: Doug Beattie was about to be suspended from the UUP &amp; lose the party whip for "abusive language to Jon Burrows, the failure to remove grossly misogynistic tweets, &amp; other issues". The party leader was set to inform the Upper Bann MLA on Monday.

@AlexKane221b Maybe Doug should create a new Unionist party. 🙈🙈

I am literally crying laughing. Tears running down my face.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

@GoodwinMJ Your Reform Makerfield candidate publicly bragged about how he would love to both smell and lick Carol Vorderman’s arsehole.

A healthy mind, that is not.
