DUP ready to fight election if Sinn Féin ‘rhetoric’ continues

The Democratic Unionist Party is ready to fight another snap election in Northern Ireland if necessary, a senior party member has said.

If political talks at Stormont fail to deliver a powersharing government, Jeffrey Donaldson said the party “will be out to win” at the ballot box.

However, the DUP stalwart said he believes the region is more likely to be heading for direct rule than another election.
