Disclaimer: The views expressed in this presentation are solely those of the interviewer/interviewee and do not in any way represent the views of the Holywell Trust, its partners or their funders. Since this podcast's first episode we have been desperately seeking a Unionist voice within the devolved Northern Ireland Government or the UK Parliament to discuss why they/their party backed the Leave Campaign during the EU Referendum of 2016. Finally we are able to provide that voice in the form of the DUP MP for East Londonderry; Gregory Campbell. During the course of this interview with Paul Gosling, Gregory explains why the DUP supports the Brexit process, why he and the party voted against Theresa May's Withdrawal Agreement in January, the issue of the border in Ireland and what he expects the impact of Brexit to be for Northern Ireland and the UK.
