BBC citing DUP sources 14 June
DUP sources have told the BBC an announcement on a deal with Tories has been delayed because of the unfolding tragedy of the Grenfell Tower blaze.
The two sides were close to reaching agreement to enable Theresa May to form a minority government and the talks were not in trouble, the sources added.
But they added that the London tower block fire made an announcement today "inappropriate" and diary commitments meant a final deal could be delayed until next week.
That means the Queens Speech will be pushed back further and therefore so will the start of the Brexit talks.
