“At times this podcast could be accused of naval gazing, especially regarding seemingly endless discussions about unionist identity and strategy. That hit new highs this week with an attempt to sort current unionist politicians into two hypothetical, realigned new “progressive” and “traditional” unionist parties. To my mind, this completely missed the rationale behind the idea, which would be to make way for new genuinely progressive unionist politicians by sweeping aside many of the overwhelmingly conservative crop of DUP and UUP representatives. But even so, the idea of Jeffrey Donaldson, Carla Lockhart, Paul Givan and Robin Swann being considered progressive? God help us all!”
