Tory/DUP Deal

So the DUP and the Conservative party have come to an agreement regarding their mutual love, in regards to the British parliamenty situation.

The price for the DUP supporting the Tories........... 1.5 billion pounds in extra funding for Northern Ireland! Yes! that's 1.5 billion!

So,

where is this money going to come from?
Where is all the austerity bull**** now?
How are the Scottish and Welsh governments going to react?

1.5 billions is cheap. Don't you think. More interesting will be, if it holds.

An extra £993 per citizen of Northern Ireland - now, will this money be paid even if Theresa May is defeated and a new General Election called?

This is a disgraceful deal - cheaper to run a new General Election than pay a bung and show how desperate TM is to cling on.

Indeed!

Tories accusing Labour of bribing students, then deliberately bribes DUP into voting along with them.

I'm predicting, and I hope I'm wrong, that this will scupper the NI peace process and ultimately result in bloodshed.

At risk of being accused of tu quoque, the DUP minister Nigel Dodds commented in Parliament afterwards, one day they may publish the letters and offers made by Labour in 2010 and 2015. My point here is the deal is horrible but the other parties have shown they would do this too. Ian Paisley jnr making light of this in Parliament too.

That is the worrying element, not who else has done this too. The worst possible outcome is a return to violence.

The money has come from all the money they saved on cladding and fire safety. Basically anything that poor ppl might benefit from.

Hopefully the DUP can somehow finesse things so that PROTESTANTS get most of the new money. It's called being loyal to your constituency.

Being "loyal to your constituency" in this instance will simply bring back sectarian troubles as well as break equality laws. It also means Stormont won't be up and running anytime soon.

I think when a party wins as many seats as Labour did in this years election it normally means they're likely to win the next election.

The fire in London and all this business with the DUP is going to help that. Only worry is that whoever the Tories put up against Corbyn in the next election after they bury Theresa May, perhaps Boris Johnson or Ruth Davidson; the maybe they will be able to sway things back in their favour a little.

If there was another election this year though (which still isn't impossible) Labour would have a shot for at least having enough seats to form a coalition with the SNP surely (providing the SNP didn't lose too many more seats). If not, things are looking different for 2022

the UK will cease to exist by 2022 .. by 2022 Corbyn will be 73 .. a lot of SNP voters voted for Jeremy Corbyn and not Scottish Labour who are a joke .. to get rid of Theresa May they still support Independence how do i know many of my SNP friends voted for Corbyn.
After Brexit negotiations are done their will be another Indyref, the Scottish Government along with the Scottish greens triggered a section 30 just before the GE17 .... this tie in with the DUP will help galvinise support for Independence along with Brexit without free movement their will be no deal it is part of the 4 pillars ... the only people that like these Loyalist numpties are about 40 - 50% Rangers fans they have around 200,000 orangemen and supporters in Scotland

the polls done in Scotland by English based pollsters do not include EU citizens and 16 and 17 year olds in their polls .. both groups are entitled to vote in Scottish elections and referendums
