Unionist poll threat played down
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Labour yesterday sought to play down the prospect of an early general election despite the growing threat by Ulster Unionists that they would withdraw their support from the Government. James Molyneaux, the UUP leader, has ordered constituencies to bringforward plans to pick candidates in seats where there is no sitting MP, and the Unionist MP David Trimble said government pressure to accept "some form of all- Ireland institutions" would make it "impossible for us to continue to support them".
