Former DUP special adviser Timothy Cairns has said Arlene Foster will be the “greatest political survivor in the history of UK politics” if she sees through a leadership contest.
He told the BBC Radio Four Today programme there “has to be” a contest within the next 10 days.
He said: “I think if she sees this one through she’ll be the greatest political survivor in the history of UK politics.
“I don’t see how she sees this through. I think we’re now at 22 MLAs, we’re now at four MPs, who’ve signed this letter to the party chairman asking that a leadership election takes place.”
He added: “I think whatever happens, whether she tries to cling on, whether she resigns, there has to be a leadership contest sometime within the next seven to 10 days.”
