Arlene Foster's leadership "should not have survived for anything like this long", says Belfast News Letter’s Sam McBride.

He told @cathynewman that the DUP leader had had an "extraordinary fall from grace" at the start of 2017.https://t.co/lC07N30ec6

Arlene Foster had faced a revolt against her leadership over the handling of Brexit, in particular the Northern Ireland Protocol, and a decision to abstain in a vote on so-called gay conversion therapy https://t.co/LD4wpsDzh0

It's the end of the road for Arlene Foster: 26 hours after dismissing the News Letter's report of growing discontent with her leadership and saying "I’ve bigger things to do", she has announced that she will resign as DUP leader. Full statement here: https://t.co/UCSBwmaA6X

DUP insiders predict a l'ship contest between Edwin Poots & Jeffrey Donaldson. Ag Min is currently clear favourite to win but sources say py's top brass will "leave no stone unturned" to change MLAs' minds & oppose Poots' bid.https://t.co/CVgiwylwuf

Unless Edwin Poots or whoever takes over the DUP is prepared to be honest with unionists and loyalists about the reality of the changing Northern Ireland he’ll be toast at some point too.

Remember when Arlene Foster became First Minister & Poots used his opportunity in the chamber to remind her that her first job was as wife and mother? 😡

A planned north-south ministerial council meeting has been cancelled after the DUP's Agriculture minister at Stormont, Edwin Poots, failed to show https://t.co/Gr0tjqObMd

— RTÉ News (@rtenews) April 28, 2021

Today’s scheduled meeting of ministers North/South on rural development and agriculture was cancelled as no DUP Minister would attend. The North/South dimension is central to the Good Friday Agreement & there is no alternative. Put simply these hare-brained antics are juvenile.

Unionism is at a crossroads. Their inbuilt majority is a thing of the past. Powersharing, building an inclusive society is the future. This is the real world which awaits the new DUP leader. Good wishes to @DUPleader in her last weeks in office

I think @jessicaelgot is right: Boris Johnson's main problem is inquiries drag on – keeping this in media.
Tories not too worried yet as not feeling much heat on doorsteps or in inboxes. But they are concerned about the "John Major" effect. Drip, drip. https://t.co/LYJvQYD7Ni
