The British Prime Minister has begun a round of meetings with Northern Ireland’s political leaders as she strives for a breakthrough on the Irish backstop impasse. “We’re never going to be sure what this Prime Minister is going to do,” he told Newstalk Breakfast. Theresa May has already had conversations with business and community leaders during her two-day trip to Belfast.
