      @@compendioussuccient6784 I targeted Arlene Foster, leader of the hard right DUP - who claimed to represent the people of Northern Ireland in Westminster when they had the tories by the testicles. She was unrepentant in this clam. The DUP insist on backing a hard Brexit, even though the majority in NI voted against it. My disdain is directed at her and her disgraceful behaviour during the last tory government. 'Working together' has been forced on her as a result of the recent changes in NI politics.
