A war of words has broken out between the UUP and the DUP after Lord Empey said it was hard  to understand how any unionist could advocate Arlene Foster`s ghastly deal. He has even dubbed the DUP leader Arlene "two borders" Foster. However, DUP MP Sir Jeffrey Donaldson accused his former party colleague of "bitterness" and said the DUP had worked with Boris Johnson to secure "a reasonable offer". The UUP hit back acussing the DUP of making it up as they go along. Stephen spoke to UUP MLA Doug Beattie and News Letter political editor Sam McBride.
