PM 'retains confidence' in Northern Ireland secretary Karen Bradley
Quote:
The Northern Ireland Secretary said initially she did not know nationalists did not vote for unionist parties or vice-versa in elections.
Mrs Bradley also said she did not fathom some deep-rooted NI issues.
Downing Street refused to be drawn on the criteria used by the Prime Minister to appoint ministers.
Mrs Bradley told House magazine, a weekly publication for the Houses of Parliament . that Northern Ireland was "a very different world from the world I came from" and she did not realise campaigns are generally fought within each part of the community.
"I didn't understand things like when elections are fought for example in Northern Ireland - people who are nationalists don't vote for unionist parties and vice-versa."
