Podcast appearances and mentions of jeffrey donaldson

The DUP's support has slumped disastrously – that's according to the latest Belfast Telegraph / LucidTalk polling. The dramatic fall in backing for the party comes in the wake of former leader Jeffrey Donaldson's conviction for child sex offences. Sinn Féin and the Alliance party have also seen a drop in their support. This is all good news for the TUV, the SDLP, and especially for the UUP. Meanwhile – the decision to drastically scale back the planned Casement Park GAA stadium – has irked many Sinn Féin supporters.

Jeffrey Donaldson is in Maghaberry prison outside Belfast awaiting sentencing for 18 child sex offences, including rape. If the disgraced politician thought that the blanket media coverage of his trial in June would stop once the jury gave its verdict, he was wrong. He is still making daily headlines in Northern Ireland as shocking stories of his past behaviour emerge; – ones that throw further light on the vast gulf between his carefully curated public persona as a pious, teetotal Christian and family man, and the reality. Four inquiries are being conducted into his actions while in the workplace, one by the NI Civil Service and one by the Assembly. Two have been commissioned by his former political parties, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP). Since his arrest in 2024, both have tried hard to distance themselves from their one-time star member. Ahead of his sentencing in September, he has now launched an appeal against his conviction. Irish Times Northern Editor Freya McClements explains why the Donaldson story has left politics across the Border in turmoil. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan.

The Jeffrey Donaldson scandal has taken another turn, with the former DUP leader now set to face a fresh investigation. New allegations have emerged of a sexual assault involving a woman at the party's Westminster offices. More details have also come to light about Donaldson's conduct throughout his years in politics as former colleagues speak out about his inappropriate behaviour. Is it open season on Jeffrey Donaldson where every rumour is fair game? And why has it taken until now for people to break their silence?

Jeffrey Donaldson looks set to be investigated again after a further allegation of sexual assault on a woman in the DUP offices at Westminster. The young woman at the heart of the allegations says that the former DUP leader tried to get her to drink vodka shots in his office, that she refused to do, before he allegedly tried to kiss her on the mouth and put his hand up her skirt.The DUP has commissioned an investigation into who knew what and when, and if members failed to act, or turned a blind eye to Donaldson's behaviour.Olivia Peden is joined by Allison Morris. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the wake of Jeffrey Donaldson's conviction, we look at whether he used his faith as a shield to cover his crimes. Eve Rosato talks to theologians Dr Fainche Ryan and Professor Laurence Kirkpatrick about the issues of forgiveness and whether church processes should be used at all in criminal matters.We also speak to the Archbishop of Jerusalem about the Anglican Consultative Council meeting in Belfast and his work in the Middle East.Finally, as the USA celebrates its 250th anniversary, we speak to Presbyterian minister Neil Craigan who is based in Minnesota about how the city has recovered from the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration earlier this year.

As Jeffrey Donaldson was found guilty last week of 18 child sex offences including rape, the carefully constructed image of a clean-living, evangelical Presbyterian was finally fully shattered after two years of horrifying revelations. As he awaits sentencing, Donaldson's double life has been further exposed, with fresh damaging allegations and testimonies emerging at pace. Meanwhile, serious questions are being asked – what did people know, and why are some only now breaking their silence? On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Tessa Fleming is joined by Belfast Telegraph crime correspondent Allison Morris to discuss Jeffrey Donaldson's life of deception and contradiction.

Hugh Linehan is joined by Alex Kane to discuss the double life of disgraced politician Jeffrey Donaldosn and its broader impact on the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) as well as Ulster unionism overall. Alex Kane is an Irish News columnist and a political commentator as well as a former director of communications for the Ulster Unionist Party. The pair discuss a recent wave of stories that reveal the hypocritical behaviour of self-professed christian Donaldson over the course of his career; from projectile vomiting on the Mayor of Beijing to swigging from a wine bottle in the House of Commons and being spotted entering a gay sauna. Kane says it seems as if no one in the DUP attempted to address this highly inappropriate behaviour. He also highlights a growing conspiracy theory among unionists who believe the British government may have used this information to blackmail Donaldson to return to the Northern Ireland Assembly. In today's episode, they discuss what all of this spells for the future of unionism in Ulster. Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

Two decades ago, a senior PSNI detective who had come from MI5 headquarters in London saw something he couldn't believe – DUP MP Jeffrey Donaldson entering a gay sauna.That story, which was revealed last week, has fed into speculation around what the police and intelligence services knew about Jeffrey Donaldson's behaviour. It has now become clear that police were aware of the far more serious accusations of pedophilia against the former DUP leader before he led the DUP back to Stormont in January 2024 – just months before he was charged with historical sex offences.Belfast Telegraph Northern Ireland Editor Sam McBride joins Olivia Peden.

Throughout the trial of Jeffrey Donaldson, his work for what he called “the local MP” was referenced in court. That MP was Enoch Powell – one of the most controversial British politicians of the 20th century. Donaldson served as Powell's election agent in the mid-80s. Powell, who passed away in 1998, had been accused of being a paedophile, with allegations arising from around the time Jeffrey Donaldson had been working for him.Former DUP leader Donaldson was found guilty of historical sex offences, including rape, at the start of this week.

Ellie Brown, the founder of inclusive clothing brand ReCondition, is hosting the fashion show. She chats to us. We're also joined by Sam Stein, a YouTuber who makes content about living with autism, who shares how little changes can go a long way. The education secretary Bridget Phillipson has said inclusion bases – specialised areas in schools to support SEND pupils - are being misused to punish disruptive pupils. Later this week, the Department for Education will publish guidance for schools to tackle what they describe as the conflation of bad pupil behaviour with special educational needs and disabilities. Nuala is joined by Margaret Mulholland - SEN and inclusion specialist at the Association of School and College Leaders, and Hayley Harding a SEND parent and organiser and founder of campaign group Let Us Learn Too - to discuss how these designated SEND spaces can be used as a bridge to school life, and not as a barrier to it.
