A confidential Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) meeting, which was intended to be closed-doors, was unexpectedly broadcast live across social media platforms. The leak was orchestrated by a senior DUP executive member who wore a wire to record and transmit the proceedings, including a speech by party leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, to Jamie Bryson. This act of internal espionage has been widely reported and has led to discussions regarding the implications for Sir Jeffrey Donaldson's authority within the party.
