Veteran DUP politician Jim Wells says he stands by everything he said against the leadership - as he loses the party whip.
Last month the South Down assemblyman told QRadio the party reneged on promises to re-instate him as Health Minister.
He stood down three years ago amid a controversy, and says it's severly damaged his reputation, despite claims being proven false.
He's been speaking exclusively to Q Radio.
