Paisley calls for Trimble’s resignation
Ian Paisley has advised that David Trimble should quit his post as leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP).
Mr Paisley argues that members of the UUP are calling for their leader’s resignation, stating: “We are not saying that Mr Trimble should not, any longer, be the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party – that is their business.
“Their president says it. The front-line men that were praising him so much in the months that have past are saying it,” he added.
Three members of the UUP announced their resignations last week, claiming they had lost confidence in the party.
Mr Paisley highlights this point in his argument for Mr Trimble’s resignation.
