TUV be? voice-verified

So it will not be a fast process. voice-verified

It's also entirely unsurprising. voice-verified

I'm not making light of the significance of what has happened there. voice-verified

But both the TUV and Jimmy Bryson are anti-agreement unionists. voice-verified

They don't agree with Sinn Féin being in government full stop. voice-verified

So in that regard, this is entirely to be expected. voice-verified

I think what is more significant today is the reaction of the DUP. voice-verified

We have seen Emma Little-Pengelly, the Deputy First Minister, speaking against Michelle O'Neill from the back benches in Stormont, not from the front bench as a government minister. voice-verified

We've seen Michelle O'Neill responding from the back benches, defending everything that she has done. voice-verified

And while she did that, there were, I think, three DUP MLAs in the chamber. voice-verified

All of the rest of them got up. voice-verified

and walked out, including Emma Little-Pengelly. voice-verified

This is a joint office. voice-verified

These are people who have to be able to work together if this system is to survive. voice-verified

And so I think it's increasingly difficult to see how Stormont survives what has befallen us over this weekend. voice-verified

It may limp along in a form which is so impotent that it almost doesn't matter that it's there. voice-verified

But the idea that we are going to have a functioning government between now and the next election is almost unfathomable at this point, I think. voice-verified

I think there is an extraordinary unity of purpose from nationalism. voice-verified

I can't recall anything of this nature in my 20 years as a journalist. voice-verified
