'What we need to do in Northern Ireland is make Northern Ireland work by making Northern Ireland a working part of our United Kingdom'
UUP leader Doug Beattie has expressed pessimism about the likelihood of the Stormont assembly being restored this year.
Mr Beattie attended the Conservative Party conference on Monday and challenged Sir Jeffrey over his stance. “The reality right now is that this conference here isn’t talking about Northern Ireland, this conference isn’t focused on the Windsor Framework, this conference is looking at how do we improve the whole of the UK’s standing globally.
“I have tried to be optimistic but I’m as pessimistic now as I have been been, the Government isn’t talking to us, we don’t know what is on offer,” he said. “The UK Government is moving on, if we are unionists and we believe in the whole of the United Kingdom, we need to be a functioning part of it.
