- misrepresents the RHI losses from, at the very worst, a projected £500m over 20 years to £5billion (!!!!) “down the drain”. Given RHI is cited as the reason for SF collapsing the Executive, shouldn’t the President know the basic details?
- says SF “haven’t left talks” – er, but did Gerry say on Sunday that the talks “run their course”?
