DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson Leading Article

After the sweeping changes to the ministerial team instituted by the hapless Edwin Poots, there is just one new face at the executive table this time.
Former junior minister Gordon Lyons has been handed the prize economy portfolio, relegating Mr Poots s unfortunate ally Paul Frew to the backbenches after backing the wrong horse.
