Voters urged to 'punish' Trimble at the ballot box

Unionists should use their vote as a weapon to ‘‘sweep away’’ their leaders who have failed them since the Good Friday Agreement, DUP leader Reverend Ian Paisley claimed today.

As Northern Ireland entered the final week of campaigning for its Westminster and local government elections, Mr Paisley claimed there was a ‘‘crystal clear’’ division between his party and the Ulster Unionists over the Agreement.
