"Unionism seems to be in a place were everybody is shouting at each other."
Former DUP special adviser @timcairns tells @MarkCarruthers7
"At this stage it would be a surprise if John Finucane didn't run" in the Assembly election.
Former Irish News editor Noel Doran says #Drumcree has been "something of a gamechanger" for nationalism.
#BBCTheView @MarkCarruthers7
"He's doing the best job that he can, this is not a good move for Gavin Robinson."
@MarkCarruthers7 asks @SuzyJourno about DUP MP Carla Lockhart's decision to stand down as a party officer.
"There are unrivalled opportunities for Northern Ireland to be prosperous and unfortunately we are on programmes like this showing dis-unity."
UUP leader @JonBurrowsMLA
#BBCTheView @MarkCarruthers7
Unionist unity?
DUP leader @GRobinsonDUP & TUV leader @JimAllister clash over powersharing at Stormont.
#BBCTheView @MarkCarruthers7
"How do you think she quit, she spoke to me."
@MarkCarruthers7 asks DUP leader @GRobinsonDUP how he found out his colleague @carlalockhart had stood down as a DUP party officer.
"I did warn at the outset that a legal victory at Drumcree with the march could turn into a strategic defeat, that it could end up dividing unionism and galvanising the Sinn Féin vote. It has turned out to be that way."
UUP leader @JonBurrowsMLA
@MarkCarruthers7 #BBCTheView
"It turns out all you did was profound nothing and you've allowed Sinn Fein off the hook and they're laughing at you."
@JimAllister tells @MarkCarruthers7
Tonight DUP MP @carlalockhart resigned as a DUP officer, a story first reported by @SuzyJourno
DUP party leader @GRobinsonDUP says he's "sorry to see that it has occurred and she remains a key part of our team."
#BBCTheView @MarkCarruthers7

Philip Barden, a solicitor who's represented a numer of Troubles veterans, including two soliders accused of murder in 1974, says past decisions by NI prosecutors were not "fair" or "reliable"
The government plans to give the Attorney General in London - rather than prosecutors here - the power to decide if someone should be put on trial for serious offences committed during the Troubles. Mark Thompson of @RelsForJustice tells @MarkCarruthers7 why they oppose the move
"I'm furious" deputy First Minister @little_pengelly tells @MarkCarruthers7 the "reckless behaviour" of @moneillsf won't distract her from lobbying @RhonddaBryant for more money
