DUP mulls ending of power-sharing boycott in Northern Ireland

Jeffrey Donaldson under pressure from UK and Irish governments to recommend revival of Stormont

The Democratic Unionist party is to consider ending its two-year boycott of power-sharing in Northern Ireland at a meeting that could make or break Sir Jeffrey Donaldson's leadership.

Donaldson will on Monday night brief the party's 130-strong executive members about UK government proposals to address unionist concerns over post-Brexit trading arrangements.
