There are some papers this morning suggesting that Sinn Fein is actually considering taking their seats if Corbyn offers an Ireland unification referendum? Is there any merit to this or just the tabloids??
That'd be quite the departure of what they've been insisting these recent weeks.
I don't think many Brits would be particularly be bothered by such a poll, but it could risk enraging the unionists. Having said that, even another 7 seats would just mean a stronger opposition for Corbyn, so it's high-risk for not much benefit.
plus the merest sniff of this actually happening would get the DUP into coalition with the Tories even quicker. softly softly catchey monkey
