Trimble goes after the DUP

More on the shift in the game within the Unionist camp. David Trimble talking at the weekend:

"He accused them [DUP] of using emotional rhetoric to cover their 'moral cowardice' and of hanging on to his party’s coattails. The DUP hung back at every stage 'let others do the hard work, and then sneaked forward to take advantage of other people’s efforts,' he said. 'The DUP are no friends of Ulster Unionists. They are short-sighted political opportunists. Their own personal ambitions are of much greater importance to them than anything else.'"
