Mike Nesbitt reflects on his five years as Ulster Unionist Party leader
Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt was the high profile casualty of Stormont's snap election.
Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt was the high profile casualty of Stormont's snap election. He announced his dramatic resignation after his party lost six seats, leaving it with just ten MLAs, because he said the buck stopped with him. Today he gives his first radio interview since making his decision to step down as leader after five years at the helm. Also on the programme: yesterday on the show we were talking about a 14-year-old who was put into 'isolation' in his grammar school because of his hair cut. His mum wasn't happy at him being removed from his regular routine and said she felt his haircut was 'clean and neat' and 'did not look untidy'. The children's commissioner Koulla Yiasouma gives her opinion on the situation.
