Talking of Wildcats

Mark Devenport | 16:35 UK time, Monday, 31 March 2008

We had a distinctly catty exchange in the Assembly this afternoon between Jeffrey Donaldson and Basil McCrea during discussion of the new Commission for Victims and Survivors Bill. Jeffrey lectured Basil on being a latecomer to politics here. Basil responded by claiming that some of those who had spent longer in politics than him had delivered nothing. He then called Jeffrey "an expert in hypocrisy". This prompted an intervention from the Deputy Speaker John Dallat who ruled that calling a member a hypocrite was unparliamentary. I can hardly wait until the next Lagan Valley election.

I can’t wait to this election either. Mark what caused these two to fight every time they see each other? With these two it certainly brings the phrase "a battle a day" to the front... My money is on Jeffrey to win. After all he has Shrek in his corner (Sammy Wilson))!!!!!

Didn't Basil join the UUP about the same time Jeffery ran screaming away from it?
