25 minutes. That's how long the "intensified talks" about restoring devolution lasted yesterday. That's 25 minutes more than the Secretary of State has taken to answer questions from the press recently. Karen Bradley has faced criticism recently from the NUJ for not taking any questions from journalists. And now both governments have gone silent.

Stephen got the views of commentator Alex Kane and Slugger O'Toole editor Mick Fealty.
