UUP Launches Secret Review of Donaldson | Belfast News

Ulster Unionist Party launches a confidential review into Jeffrey Donaldson’s time with the party, following his recent conviction for 18 sex offenses—including rape—against underage victims over a 23-year span. Once a teen member who worked for Enoch Powell and later served in the Assembly and Parliament, Donaldson left the UUP in 2003 to join the DUP, where he rose to leadership. The UUP says this is just the first step, also examining safety protocols, while the DUP and Northern Ireland Assembly are independently investigating his conduct. Donaldson, currently imprisoned awaiting sentencing, plans to appeal and was recently removed from the Privy Council after requesting removal from the King’s advisory list.
