Trimble wins vote, say reports

According to sources within the Ulster Unionist Party, David Trimble has won a resounding victory in this morning’s party meeting over its future involvement in the power-sharing Executive.

The win will be a major boost for Trimble’s position as party leader after hardline member, Jeffery Donaldson proposed that they set a deadline of July 1 for pulling out of the Executive if the British Government did not expel Sinn Fein.
