In the two years she held the post of DUP deputy leader, Paula Bradley seldom featured in news headlines about the party writes brendanhughes64
In the two years she has held the post she has seldom featured in news headlines about the party.
She became deputy leader during a turbulent time for the DUP when Edwin Poots was briefly elected party leader after an internal revolt against Arlene Foster. During an online political debate, Ms Bradley apologised for the "absolutely atrocious" comments made in the past by some in her party against LGBT people.
The comments received pushback from then DUP MLA Jim Wells, but Sir Jeffrey supported Ms Bradley's apology, saying that she "speaks for the party". Each week, our Political Reporter Brendan Hughes pulls together some of the biggest and most important matters from Belfast and Northern Ireland that we think you’d be interested in reading.
Within days there was a U-turn. Ms Bradley insisted she had not been forced to backtrack on her comments.
