MEP in the North tries to topple coalition

A former DUP member opposed to sharing power with republicans has appealed to voters to help him bring down the North's coalition government.

Jim Allister who now leads the Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) has told delegates at his new party's first conference they must take on the DUP to defend the Union.

The MEP was elected to the European Parliament on a DUP ticket but left the party after it entered government with Sinn Féin.
