Arlene Foster has resigned as DUP leader and Northern Ireland first minister after three-quarters of her party’s Assembly members and half of its MPs signed a letter of no confidence in her.

She said
“she would step down as DUP leader on 28 May and as first minister at the end of June”,
reports the BBC.

Foster told Sky News that serving the people of Northern Ireland had been
“the privilege of my life”
and added:
“The future of unionism and Northern Ireland will not be found in division. It will only be found in sharing this place we are privileged to call home.”

Cummings has really pulled the rug out this time. :(

“I can only imagine the feelings of the Royal Family and I hope very much that the BBC will be taking every possible step to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.”

Of course it will happen again. Maybe not in quite the same way but that is the nature of people and life.
