Looks like Sinn Fein is prepared to throw the kitchen sink at the DUP to get them to concede the devolution of policing and justice powers before power sharing… This time they have ‘revealed’ (without revealing who, when, or for how long) that there was an ‘independent verifier’, outside the British government, who acted as a secret channel and took messages from one party to the other. A DUP spokesman denied the report. More here. One to keep an eye on.

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.
