Mr Campbell accused Reform UK of being the 'paymaster for unionist division'

A DUP MP and has become involved in a spat with the TUV after he accused the party of "weakening unionism".

“Elections are the essence of our democratic process, and they offer people a choice as to who will represent them. In Northern Ireland there is a clear choice between those who will take up their seats in our national Parliament and seek to make Northern Ireland work within the United Kingdom, and those who sit outside Parliament and work to weaken Northern Ireland," Gregory Campbell said.

"As he offers to be the paymaster for unionist division in the TUV, we remain focused on moving Northern Ireland forward. Such attempts to deflect only highlight the absence of any strategy from those who pour such venom on the Democratic Unionist Party.” “The fundamental point that Mr Campbell, who received a CBE in the immediate aftermath of the DUP deal which destroyed Unionist unity, ignores is that you can’t strengthen the Union by dividing the United Kingdom. Remember this is the same Mr Campbell who hailed the Safeguarding the Union paper as a great achievement by his party.
