Donaldson: ‘Hundreds of UUP members have resigned’

Former Ulster Unionist MP Jeffrey Donaldson has claimed that hundreds of UUP members are resigning from the party because of their opposition to David Trimble.

Mr Donaldson, who defected from the UUP to the DUP earlier this month, said hundreds of UUP members in his Lagan Valley constituency had handed in their resignations in recent weeks.
