As deadline looms DUP call for Brokenshire to set budget as SF demand deal ’for all in society’

Northern Ireland is inching towards direct rule from Westminster after the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) called on the Secretary of State to set a budget for the region.

The DUP made the call just hours before the latest deadline to restore powersharing at Stormont runs out.

Sinn Fein, however, has said a deal could still be done, but insisted it must be "a deal for all in society and not just for the political leaderships of unionism".
