When Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens kidnapped and murdered Sarah Everard, Nigel Farage released a five-minute video urging people not to attack men or the police.
Today, in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, he called for "pure cold rage."
BREAKING: In his first broadcast interview since Doug Beattie quit the party, UUP Leader @JonBurrowsMLA says he is disappointed that the Upper Bann MLA has resigned, and denies there is a 'toxic atmosphere' under his leadership.
You can see the interview on UTV Live and in full on @ViewFrmStormont tonight.
Pleased to set out my thoughts on why we need published plans for a United Ireland and for staying part of the United Kingdom, before the border poll is called. @LuathPress 👇
It's great to see @sinnfeinireland joining the debate on reform.
It’s time for Democratic Renewal. No more one-party walkouts, dodging accountability, vetoes or dark money.
The argument for reform has been won – let’s seize this opportunity.
Too many are focusing on examining the tweets of Doug Beattie, not the point that, according to his pov, an internal disciplinary matter addressed and resolved four years ago suddenly was opened again, notwithstanding that to review it would have been to revisit a closed case.
@mclaren_linzi I think Jon is strong armed by his grassroots support but is showing his political naivety/inexperience by thinking he can change MLA personnel to tackle the issue of a lack of support within the MLA group. I also think moving closer to DUP/TUV is an error that will cost them.
There is a possibility that an unelected leader will oust half of the party’s elected MLAs seeking re-election prior to the next election. It’s an astonishing risk.
Doug Beattie didn’t miss and hit the wall. Resignation letters are often finely tuned balancing acts. A little disappointment here, a reference to different priorities there, and everyone moves on with their dignity intact, writes Suzanne Breen 🖋️

It's difficult to answer questions about the UUP situation that has energed when we're all still frankly reeling from the astonishing announcements yesterday & the explosive Nolan interview. Unprecedented times. Much reflection needs to happen within the party to negate this mess
