More from Sam McBride about who can vote,
The key part of the DUP statement on the rules for its first ever leadership contest is not the date (next Friday) or that it will be held virtually, but that it appears to include Jim Wells as part of the electorate (another vote for Poots) & Nigel Dodds’ post is up for election pic.twitter.com/ffsLAi3ja2
