Wonderful. Last year Rory became only the 6th golfer in history to win the Grand Slam and now he is only the 4th to win back to back Green Jackets. A global sporting superstar from Northern Irelan...

The rules should apply to everyone. Yesterday on BBC Talkback I commented on the statue to Bobby Sands that was erected in West Belfast without planning permission. Belfast City Council announced...

This display by masked republicans is an affront to the rule of law and an insult to victims of terrorism. It is also an offence under section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000 to wear clothing indicati...

One of my favourite police operations - 2018. In 2018 I led a an operation to swoop on a Continuity IRA colour party on Easter Saturday in Lurgan. The officers on the group did a superb job execut...

Vast waste in Stormont, this is a one minute clip from my speech. The Ulster Unionist Party health minister found £300 million of savings - others have wasted money.

The Economy Minister refused to say whether she raised American foreign policy in the meeting with Cantor Fitzgerald that led to the loss of 300 well paid jobs. There is no justification in refusin...

Amy Doherty was brutally murdered in Londonderry last weekend. We have no shortage of words, but we have insufficient action to tackle violence against women.
