Theresa May will be confronted face to face by Sinn Fein's Stormont leader Michelle O'Neill over her proposed deal with the DUP when the two women meet in Downing Street on Thursday.

Sinn Fein, along with the other four main parties in Northern Ireland, has been invited to Number 10 in attempt to break the deadlock over power-sharing talks.

But Mrs O'Neill has already made it clear she will raise the issue of the DUP deal when she meets the Prime Minister.

She hinted that she might demand the scrapping of the DUP deal if it "undermines" the Good Friday Agreement.
