“I made the wrong call on Friday. I let down good friends in the DUP. The Withdrawal Agreement should never, ever see the light of day again.” says Richard Drax, apologising for backing the withdrawal agreement. The same DUP who campaigned against the Sunningdale Agreement of 1973, the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985, and the Good Friday Agreement of 1998.
