By David Young, PAThe DUP is set for a crunch meeting on Monday as its party leader briefs senior members on UK government proposals aimed at ending Stormont’s powersharing impasse. It appears the DUP is approaching the moment to make a final call on the UK government’s proposed measures. The invitation said the gathering, at a yet undisclosed location in Northern Ireland, would see party leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson provide a “detailed update on the current political situation”. On Sunday Sinn Féin called on the DUP to step off the “endless merry-go-round” of its Stormont boycott and return to powersharing. There’s nothing more to talk about.”On Friday, senior DUP MLA and former party leader Edwin Poots criticised some other unionists who have accused his party of being “traitors”.
