    Trimble questions 'New' DUP.

    Tory peer David Trimble has said that Robinsons bid to woo Catholic voters is really aimed at liberal Unionist voters.

    Trimble questions Robinson

    "Putting it crudely – a journalist said to me with regard to one of the conference speeches in which Peter was saying these things that we’re talking about – was that what they should have done was look at the audience – this was the bit that nobody clapped – nobody agreed,” said the former Ulster Unionist leader."


    Peter wouldn't be so cynical, would he?

    Robinson hasn't got his party onboard with his outreach call, unless they choosing to read the FM's motive as Trimble appears to do, that it's really aimed at unionist liberals.

    None of the DUP's 'dirty dozen' seem too keen on this new 'grab a Gael' effort.

    The dirty dozen and possibly more are alreading making their intention to oppose Robinson, their latest rants and outbursts support this.
