Lagan Valley MP to take reins of party divided by Northern Ireland protocol and Irish language laws
Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has been formally endorsed as the new leader of the Democratic Unionist party (DUP) following the resignation of Edwin Poots after only 21 days at the post.
The Lagan Valley MP was the only person to put their name forward after successive revolts among party members deposed both Poots and his predecessor, Arlene Foster, in quick succession.
