Kejan Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 How are the latest talks going? Did the new NI sec (Bradley, isn't it?) set a deadline or just playing it by ear? Surely, they will have another an election rather than go to direct rule - if nothing can be agreed? It'll be about a year or so now since the election, isn't it? Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another election would be an exercise in futility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Haven't been following closely, but I suspect Stormont is a goner until the dust settles on Brexit and the DUP are no longerpropping up the Tories at Westminster. Suspect SF will be happy to wait a few years with an eye to having Jeremy Corbyn doing the negotiating with them especially if they keep getting paid to do nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems the British government have been willing to give this situation a lot more time than expected. Weren't many in NI expecting direct rule by autumn last year, if no deal agreed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm sure there is some way that the clamping company knows what car is clamped, so if they land back and find a clamp but no car attached to it, they'll know where to go. Or maybe where not to go, in Kelly's case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
