Martin McGuinness has thrown a verbal grenade into the political world before he departs for his August holidays. He told Radio Ulster that the two governments are engaged in secret talks with dissident republicans. (Apologies for earlier error - was writing this while editing TV package...)

Black propaganda says Republican Sinn Fein.

It wasn't exactly a "Who us?" reply from London and Dublin. But both are in agreement there can be no meaningful talks with those who aren't committed to peaceful means to achieve their aims.

The DUP's Gregory Campbell says he wouldn't be surprised but wants evidence.

Whatever the truth, the Deputy First Minister who was engaged in secret talks during his years in the IRA, has given dissidents something to think about. What will the rank and file dissidents make of his claims? And who will they choose to believe?
