Roy Garland on the UUP’s conference at the weekend:
“[the conference] was the most satisfying I have experienced. The chosen venue suggests that unionists were getting back to their roots but this was no regression into siege mentality. Rather, I found a confident, outward-looking and hopeful party reiterating a commitment to inclusive pluralist politics.”
It also seems that calling meetings of the UUC may not be quite as easy for opponents of the leadership to call in future.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
