Sir, – Remarks made by Arlene Foster to the effect that the Belfast Agreement is potentially up for grabs show how little the DUP cares for the aspirations enshrined within it. This stance can only lead to further entrenchment of old divisions. It is ironic that the DUP appears more interested in hitching its wagon to English nationalists who know little and care less about Northern Ireland and its people. In supporting Brexit and its attendant risk of a no-deal exit, the DUP is undermining the very thing which appears most important to it – its cherished place within the United Kingdom. Whether hard or soft, Brexit is utterly half baked.
