As MPs buzz with talk that the party is edging back towards Stormont, the coming weeks are crucial.
as to why we haven't seen any progress, Chris Heaton Harris replied: "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening."It was a political tease which raised eyebrows on the Northern Ireland benches.An understandable reaction after a 19-month stalemate with few outward signs that it is coming to an end.
A senior DUP source also acknowledged the "process is moving in the right direction" but added there was still "some way to run". That is why senior sources in the DUP are focusing more on changes to the so-called "green lane" system. Much has been made of the possible dissenting voices within the DUP officers team who may be harder to convince.But we are told that the leader is confident of bringing the party with him as he can't afford not to.
