Following the Spotlight investigation into Nelson McCausland's dodgy dealings, Sam McBride made an illuminating observation on DUP libel reform policy:
The volume of solicitors' letters from DUP to BBC over one Spotlight episode gives a pretty clear hint as to why DUP blocked libel reform

He continued to publish some very insightful tweets:
In debate about BBC Spotlight, Mike Nesbitt describes DUP as "party that likes to sue or threaten to sue" & reminds it blocked libel reform

In 2010, Peter Robinson said he was considering suing BBC Spotlight for the Iris Robinson investigation but no legal action was taken

@Stephen_Warke Jimmy Spratt threatened Sam McBride with legal action if he published the "nutters" incident
