But looking deeper at the results, it is clear unionism remains strong in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland alike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe four nations of the United Kingdom are stronger and safer together. In a fast-changing world of geopolitical threats, but also a shifting political landscape, we must strengthen our Union, not weaken it, working together to deliver greater prosperity, security and opportunity for all our people. I look forward to working with new colleagues across the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith regard to the Prime Minister and this Labour Government, this should serve as a serious wake-up call: delivery and trust matters, and it is clearly lacking. They must start listening. The King\u2019s Speech this Wednesday will prove whether they have actually done so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will say this: in less than a year, Northern Ireland will have a choice to make. I will make the case that they should trust the Ulster Unionist Party with the Union in the years ahead: improving our politics, our public services and our people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Statement from Ulster Unionist Party Leader on Election Results in Great Britain.
