DUP signals potential support to oust Sinn Fein's O'Neill as NI first minister

DUP MP Carla Lockhart indicates her party could back a motion to remove Michelle O'Neill as Northern Ireland's first minister, citing unionist anger over her involvement in Garvaghy Road protests. This marks a potential shift in the power-sharing arrangement, though the actual likelihood of removal depends on cross-community support and procedural rules. The development could destabilize the Northern Ireland Executive and heighten political tensions.
