DUP negotiations

How do you know it's legal, roses?
Roses Law, again?

and the "inquiry " into the boilers debacle rolls on

used to....perhaps.
Still, Corbyn has had close ties to terrorists in the past.

the Orange Order marches with banners proclaiming alliance to the KKK the DUP support the OO ...says it all really .I'm disgusted at this ,these people are dinosaurs,in any case they cant vote on England only matters so where does that leave her ?

The DUP have close ties to terrorists.

As far as I know "sell your soul to the devil" is to abandon your idealistic principles for the sake of the greed for power and pleasure. From the Faust legend.

Just doing some reading.

Apparently the DUP has close links to Britain First. Isn't that what Mair shouted as he stabbed Mrs Cox?

They also have links to white supremacists in America.

They also channel money throught yo the British mainland got political use, by using their NI exemption.

Yes. PM

But who on earth to replace her?

Hammond I suppose there isn't anyone else who could be taken seriously

How do you know it's legal, roses? Do you have inside information?

Me too PM? This whole thing is going to cause real problems - she really really would have been better going for a minority government - another massive judgement fail. I would now place a bet on her going by conference season

Going well isn't it? Listening to the news.

Is it legal? Well I suppose they say it is and we will all shut up☹️

Of course it's legal - and immoral, unethical, undemocratic, corrupt and shaming for our country.

I find it beyond astonishing that anyone with a pulse could even begin to think it was OK to allocate OUR taxes on the basis not of need but to buy votes.

Yes, it is legal.

No not a bit strong at all - the truth. WTF should all that money go to NI in preference to the whole of the UK ? Oh wait, it keeps TM in power and will encourage support for the DUP in NI. Just giving them the money is a policy BTW

It feels like corruption to me - blatantly buying support from a few MPs just to prop up a government that didn't win a majority. If TM can't govern without bribing MPs with money that belongs to the whole of the UK, she shouldn't be governing at all. The Good Friday agreement is in danger which means she is risking the UK's peace and security. Is it even legal? Surely this can't happen?

The Devil TriciaF....... a bit strong.

Well, first of all, the money does not go to the DUP it goes to the people of NI in the form of infrastructure etc. Secondly, a bit early to feel queasy about anything that the Tories and DUP are actually doing, as they haven't made any policies that need backing.

They've finally sold their soul to the devil - for £2bn.
A disgrace, as you say whitewave.

Oh for an edit button - quesy

Being prepared to do a deal with the DUP tells you everything, and then some, about the real nature of the Tories. What an irony that AL talks about patriotism when the Tories are firstly about their own individual self interest and secondly, the interests of the party. They cloak themselves in the Union Jack to hide the fact that the interests of the country are nothing to them ( I get the same quest feeling as I do about Lewis Hamilton, tax exile, when he wears the flag after. F1 victory)

It is a disgrace.

Democracy is certainly threatened.

Sinn Fein will be quite within their rights to object, as should we all.

Out MPs need to be told

This is a dirty deal - it stinks.

OUR money being used to buy power for one woman.

This is just plain WRONG.

rar if 'normal' means being held to ransom by 10 DUP MPs whose beliefs most would find objectionable then that's OK. If 'normal' means you can buy democracy that's fine. TM was quite entitled to form a minority government what she isn't entitled to do is sell off democracy for support. Presumable the money came from her personal money tree, oh sorry it will actually come from Scotland, Wales and areas such as the NE. But that's OK isn't it? Better give it to the DUP than spend it on the NHS.
