Good morning. Maidin mhaith. Guid moarnin’. Just arrived @duponline #DUP22. It’s their first conference since 2019. Sir Jeffrey Donaldson @J_Donaldson_MP to say "…I want us to build a better Northern Ireland, not just for those who share our unionism, but for all our people” 
I’m working for Reuters news agency & LBC News today. #DUP @duponline press officer John Robinson has said I won’t be allowed into the conference because I was at the Ireland’s Future conference. I was at the conference as a journalist, a paid interviewer. @nujofficial #DUP22
Where it all went wrong for the DUP since its total dominance in 2016: The party has spent 6 years damaging itself – and the Union. Many DUP insiders despair at their party’s perpetual scandals and serial ineptitude, but don’t expect that to change. #DUP22 belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/column…
It's breakfast time and already the DUP press office has created a problem of its own making. If political parties were to ban everyone who's been to an event they don’t like or works for a media outlet they don't like, the press benches would be empty.
And now the DUP has U-turned on banning a reporter from its conference. About the same level of strategic thinking involved as when Arlene Foster said "I will never accede to an Irish language act", and then quietly agreed to it as the price of getting back as First Minister.
