If devolved governments reject UK’s return to work strategy, will they also be rejecting the UK Govt’s generous funding package to pay furloughed workers? Or, do they want it both ways?

- My first remarks in the House of Commons - making it clear that Northern Ireland’s place within the United Kingdom must be restored.
00:00 - BBC Newsnight behaviour tonight appalling. Early in the evening they booked me as the local MP to appear to discuss Ballymena situation. Then, they cancelled me, but still run the story, referencing me but denying me a voice, while giving 2 GB MPs their say and an unelected
- The UK can sell steel to the US tariff free but has to pay EU tariffs within its own country. When will the Prime Minister stand up for the United Kingdom? #JimAllister #TUV #PMQS #Brexit
00:00 - Disappointed for our nation to see parliament vote to legalise abortion up to birth. Glad to be counted among those opposing such perversity.
- Pleased to have been advised that the Union flag will now fly at half mast from Parliament Buildings until after the funeral of HRH Prince Philip.
- I’ve raised with Speaker’s staff the need to fly the Union flag at half mast on Parliament Buildings, as elsewhere in devolved regions, to mark the passing of HRH Prince Philip. Let’s have some respect, Stormont!

- When four fully armed terrorists go out on a murder mission, that mission includes their escape plan. If the continuing threat posed by such fully armed would be murderers is neutralised, then that is a service to the public to whom they are a danger. Today we had another
- Northern Ireland is sovereign UK territory, not sovereign EU territory, so the UK, not the EU, will decide single market and customs union issues. Time for UK to put EU in its place.
- Prime Minister, I’ll tell you what I’ve had enough of - YOU and your conniving to foist your rejected deal on the nation. Now Tusk tries to add to the blackmail. Leave means leave.
- EU proposals utterly fail the sovereignty test.
