Weak leadership

The UK government has said all along that unless power-sharing is agreed locally TODAY Stormont will be suspended, MLA pay stopped and joint authority imposed. Paisley stalls until May but prepares to meet Sinn Féin this morning, and what does Peter Hain say?

 

"I am not worried about a deadline going over a few weeks, if we have something that has never happened before".

 

But the deadline's set in UK legislation, isn't it? Isn't it?

 

Hain is a weak appeaser, and the sooner we have Ulstermen running their country the better.
