Sinn Féin is expected to outline the party's next move after powersharing talks in Northern Ireland broke down. Sinn Féin 's Northern Ireland chief Michelle O'Neill said the party had stretched itself and blamed the DUP for collapsing a process aimed at rebuilding coalition government at Stormont after a 13-month suspension. Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley said "substantive progress" had been made but conceded "this phase of talks has reached a conclusion". The British Government faces the prospect of having to step in and take previously devolved decisions in Northern Ireland. Power sharing and working together are the only way forward for Northern Ireland."
