John Carson, a veteran Ballymena councillor, expressed his support for Edwin Poots during the DUP leadership contest in 2021, remarking, "Michelle O'Neill would be put back in her kennel." Despite this controversial comment, he has not financially faced the consequences of a legal claim against him, which could have been significant. This situation highlights issues within the party and Carsonâs isolation from former allies, as he feels forsaken after decades in politics, even facing suicidal thoughts due to his loneliness and abandonment.
