UNIONISM IN 2026 - A FLAME ABOUT TO FINALLY FLICKER OUT....? 🔥 One might argue that the only people who could possibly have saved Unionism have now left it... Let's take the very affable @mclaren_linzi a moderate, socially liberal Unionist who felt so excluded that she has now turned full circle and is now campaigning for a 'New Ireland' with the SDLP. Or Glenn Bradley, a former British Army Soldier and UUP Party Officer who is now advocating as a Civic Nationalist with Ireland's Future. There are others who have recently left the fold, and are now open to a new and different way of governance on the island of Ireland. Those include many of the Protestants who recently signed a letter in solidarity with the residents of Garvaghy Road. And what then of the three Musketeers ? The current figureheads of the three main Unionist Party's. 🔘Jim Allister - The archetypal 'backwoodsman'. A man who has never been told "no" in his entire life, but who will say "no" himself about 50 times a day... 🔘Gavin Robinson - "A nice guy" says Tim Cairns. Try telling that to Naomi Long who suffered his wrath and fury after losing an election to him in 2017. Big Gav is a man permanently on automatic pilot... A man who loves his "peanut butter & toast" in the House of Commons Canteen, while Rome burns around him back at home... 🔘And finally Jon Burrows - A former Police Commander who often displays the same amount of savvy that Homer Simpson did, whenever he tried to ride Bart's Skateboard over the Springfield Gorge. Last week Jon decided to fly all the way to Taiwan to see if there was anywhere better than here. I could have given him the train fare to Dublin to get the exact same result... And so political Unionism continues trundling along in an alter-Universe. A time gone by, when men in strange Bowler Hats and flame-coloured sashes paraded past the slum housing that they had allocated for their Catholic neighbours. The tide has now turned though, and they are floating away into their own Bermuda Triangle. Unlikely to be spotted ashore ever again. Anyone got a lifebouy to help them out...? 🛟 HENRY JOY @GRobinsonDUP @JimAllister @JonBurrowsMLA @duponline @uup @TUVonline
