Saturday in God's Own County for a pint of Timothy Taylor's Brewery at Whitelock’s Ale House
Sorry that Danny Kinahan has resigned as Veterans Commissioner for Northern Ireland. Danny has been a great champion for NI Veterans, whom we owe so much. Before the election, we were working constructively together over the future of the office, so it is sad that he has felt compelled to take this step.
As a minister, I was involved in developing the city region growth deals working with NI Executive ministers and local authorities. This is a deplorable decision by Northern Ireland Office and will be deeply damaging to NI. To push this out when the Commons is in recess is disgusting behaviour.
