In a keynote speech at the La Mon Hotel this morning, Sir Jeffrey was setting out four key steps for his party to take, starting with the immediate withdrawal from North-South bodies. The PSNI has hand delivered more letters to Co Armagh bandsmen inviting them to volunteer for interviews in relation to NI Protocol protests. In May police sent up to nine officers at a time to deliver letters to 14 people around Markethill, stating that anti-protocol parades had breached parading and Covid laws and asked recipients to volunteer for an interview. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms across Northern Ireland for today. The warning is in place from 10m to 8pm and applies to all parts of Northern Ireland.
