DUP in the news over recent political clashes in Northern Ireland. Founded in 1971 by Ian Paisley, now led by Arlene Foster.
The jury has been sworn for Jeffrey Donaldson’s rape and indecent-offence trial in Newry crown court. The former DUP leader faces 18 alleged offences across 21 years, with his wife Eleanor facing a separate trial-of-facts for aiding and abetting rape and indecent assault. Prosecution opening is due to begin shortly.
