Colum Eastwood has urged unionist politicians to call a halt to anti-protocol rallies after a poster of the UUP leader in a noose appeared at the most recent demonstration.

The SDLP leader urged DUP head Jeffrey Donaldson and TUV chief Jim Allister to stop attending the controversial gatherings after Friday night’s incident in Lurgan.
