What other word would someone use to describe climate change denial and the removal of human rights from women and LGBT people? Sir Peter Bottomley, himself a Conservative, has today said 'I hope in time their supporters will tell them 'let's join the modern world' (about the DUP). Meanwhile, speaking of the 'modern world'..... Portadown District LOL 1 has issued a statement calling on the new government to make parading in Northern Ireland a priority. In the statement published on its official Twitter page over the weekend, Portadown District said it had noted the outcome of the general election “with interest”.

Portadown District has been prevented from completing its annual Drumcree parade since 1997, and the Garvaghy Road Residents’ Coalition has refused its proposals for talks. The statement said: “We trust that the parading issue, especially in Portadown, will be high on the agenda for the new government. “It is clear that the endeavour of the Orange family to maximise the unionist vote paid dividends and consequently the DUP has been given the opportunity and responsibility to deliver for the people of Northern Ireland.
