Conor Burns

A boy, 17, and a girl, 12, sustained critical injuries and later died in hospital. One man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.

Belfast born Conservative MP Conor Burns has been sacked as Trade Minister following a complaint of "serious misconduct" at this week's party conference in Birmingham.

TONY Blair and Bertie Ahern have been involved in efforts to get the EU and British government back around the negotiating table, according to former Northern Ireland Office minister Conor Burns.

MINISTER of State for Northern Ireland Conor Burns has said there is "no excuse for the DUP not being back in government today".

The Tories have had their Edwin Poots moment and as with that moment it will take some time for the real damage to become apparent.

THE TAOISEACH has said he continues to maintain a "professional" relationship with his UK counterpart in the face of continued British government agitation over the protocol.

The Taoiseach said the British government’s proposal to override key parts of the Brexit deal would be ‘to the benefit of absolutely no-one’.

So begins another typical Johnson campaign of misrepresentation, misinformation, omissions, distractions, concoctions and of course those plain lies for which he is despised.

NORTHERN Ireland Office minister Conor Burns yesterday claimed the protocol is causing "significant societal disruption" as he insisted the British government "reserves the right" to take unilateral remedial action on the post-Brexit trade arrangements.
