Chair of Loyalist Communities Council believes DUP prepared to re-enter Stormont administration ‘under a Sinn Féin first minister’

Describing the life prospects of a child born yesterday into a loyalist community, Mr Campbell said the child will “stay in hospital longer than most other babies because he may need to be weaned off substances his mother had become addicted to”. Between 60 and 80 per cent of pupils in the child’s school will qualify for free school meals because of the level of social deprivation in the community: “He will regularly miss breakfast. Often the school meal is the only nourishment he will receive in the day,” he said.
However, he implicitly criticised US president Joe Biden by saying that there is a need “to restore the impartiality” of the United State in the peace process if it is to continue to play an influential role in current problems in Northern Ireland.
