Talks with Northern Ireland's DUP may take time, no sticking point: UK Minister

"There`s no individual sticking point. Talks are progressing," First Secretary of State Damian Green, who is effectively May`s deputy, told the BBC

London: There is no one sticking point in talks between British Prime Minister Theresa May`s Conservatives and Northern Ireland`s Democratic Unionist Party but a deal to support May`s minority government could take some time, her deputy said on Wednesday.

"There`s no individual sticking point. Talks are progressing," First Secretary of State Damian Green, who is effectively May`s deputy, told the BBC. 

"So we have a lot in common but we are two different parties and so it will take some time to reach a deal."
