MP Carla Lockhart quits as party officer in move which could lead to her leaving DUP

MP Carla Lockhart has resigned as a DUP party officer following a rift with leader Gavin Robinson regarding the future of Stormont. The Upper Bann MP is calling for the removal of DUP deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly from the powersharing executive. This internal conflict within the party has led to Lockhart's departure from her officer role, a move that analysts suggest could potentially lead to her leaving the DUP entirely in the near future.
