I notice that the Electoral Commission has now published details of the financial position for the local political parties.

These figures revealed that Sinn Fein has the healthiest balance sheet among Northern Ireland's main political parties with an income in excess of £1m in the past financial year.

I found that figure of £1 million incredibly significant – for it is the same total that various correspondents to local newspapers have established the Upper Bann branch of TUV are fully intent on handing to Sinn Fein as a direct result of their vote splitting tactics at coming elections.

These figures reveal the true scale of what TUV are intending to do in this constituency – namely hand over a sum of money equivalent to a full year income for Sinn Fein's entire political operation.

On the one hand they claim to oppose Sinn Fein yet on the other TUV are intent on becoming SF's largest financial donor.

Astonishing!
