DUP Accuse Labour Of Playing 'Dangerous Games'
The DUP has accused the Labour Party of playing "dangerous games" if they appease Sinn Fein's divisive border poll plans.
East Belfast MP Gavin Robinson said: "The Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn became so absorbed into Sinn Féin's orbit that it's conference talked about "the north" rather than Northern Ireland. Little seems to have changed.
"Rather than engaging in Sinn Fein speak or divisive border poll talk, the Shadow NI Secretary Peter Kyle should focus on removing the Protocol which has damaged east-west relations and utterly undermined devolution.
"Previous Labour administrations were able to respect the cross community consensus needed for progress in Northern Ireland. We need to get back to the place where the Protocol concerns of every unionist MP and MLA are respected and addressed."
