Trimble: No plans to step down

David Trimble has said he has no plans to step down as leader of the Ulster Unionist Party – whatever his “personal preferences”.

Mr Trimble told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “Every event makes you reflect, but I am not minded to go. In fact, actually I have been very much encouraged by the people who, over the course of the last day, have been urging me not to think about these matters.
