Hundreds Of Loyalist Protesters Gather In Co. Down To Oppose Northern Ireland Protocol
The issue is now threatening the power-sharing government in the North, which is already in disarray after the leader of the DUP resigned

Heather Ramsay was one of the protesters last night in Newtownards:
"We have to get rid of the protocol. The protocol must go. It's diluting our Unionism with Britain. We feeling very alone. We're feeling as if we've been abandoned. We feel as if nobody wants us to be a part of them, and the protocol is just making that harder and harder each day."
