“The constituencies of East, South and North Antrim all voted to leave and we are representative of the leave vote.
“The DUP shouldn’t budge on the backstop or Article 50 and we’re asking them to stand firm.
“There will be at least five of us taking part tonight. We will be displaying ‘Leave means Leave’ posters. We have no problem with a no deal Brexit and will have posters relating to that as well.”
