Summarization
A comparison between robust questioning of the DUP's stance on health by Mark Carruthers and more trivial approaches from BBC Nolan have been made. Sir Jeffrey Donaldson's choices have been analyzed, along with the lack of government in Northern Ireland until 2024, and questions have been raised about the platforming of certain people. The actions and decisions of the DUP have been put into question, their double-speak regarding access to the Single Market has been discussed, and the idea that creating an ungovernable Northern Ireland strengthens the Union has been laughed at.
