Text
I thank the Member for giving way. He talked about "a little knowledge". Last week, he sat alongside his deputy leader and did not even know what amendments he was voting on in the Justice Bill debate, yet he comes into the Chamber today and professes his knowledge. I ask the Member this: what grubby deal did you do with the DUP and your own party members? Is Alan Chambers now on the Ulster Unionist ticket? Is the DUP promising a unity candidate in Lagan Valley? What grubby deal did you do on the petition of concern, Mr Burrows?

Jev’s structured answers met the documented threshold for “not flagged”.
- Overall probability that the activity is being used to promote, exploit or escalate an identity-based controversy: 0.34 (flagging needs at least 0.70; at or below 0.30 is not flagged).
- None of the five culture-war criteria was met (each was below 0.60).
- No identity-based framing was identified (0.94).
- The overall probability was low and the text did not adopt any identity-based framing.
