Just finished editing Inside Politics which will air tomorrow featuring an interview with the Ulster Unionist leader Sir Reg Empey. Chatting before the show, he says his party's phones are ringing off the hook, over issues such as health. The party now has appointed Michael McGimpsey as health minister, despite expectations health would go to Alan McFarland if Sir Reg opted for Employment and Learning. Alan McFarland has been rather silent on the issue. Check out Inside Politics tomorrow to hear what Sir Reg has to say about the matter.

Given that the lugubrious McGimpsey is integral to the success of Folks on the Hill I believe his appointment as Health Minister was secured through intense lobbying by Sean Crummey. For future preferment, Alan McFarland, Danny Kennedy et al must adopt a more doleful, melancholic demeanour that reflects the UUP鈥檚 standing in the eyes of the Electorate.
