Just a thought: Are the DUP about to call SF’s bluff?

For give the half baked nature of this, but it just occurs that if Robinson can stay, there would be no hiatus. No hiatus means no fly negotiation opportunity to sink the Assembly over Policing and Justice for Sinn Fein. Brave, certainly. They may get caned at Westminster, but calculate they get through this crisis they can get the win on Policing and Justice…

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
