Cheese and pineapple on a stick, anyone?

So the Tories put party before country twice now and have been humiliated shame on you and all who voted for them .

 

[Jib in lad]

So the Tories are doing a deal with terrorist sympathising DUP oh the irony.

May should be ashamed of herself. She's not even acting in the best interests of the Tories here - she's acting in the best interests of herself.

She should have resigned this morning and left it to someone else.

This sums it up really.......

Before

After

Tired watched with interest last night - May is battling on it won't last imo!

She'll either be gone this time next week, if not, she'll still be here this time next year...and if a week is a long time in Politics, what does that make a year?

If she gets the push, who steps in? IMO it doesn't matter, any Election in the next 12mths, they get tonked, Brexit or no

Boris will be laughing in the manner of Muttley (needs gif)

She is a self serving tool as was Cameron they have plunged the country into chaos.

No. Corbyn is running around telling everyone he 'won'. May will visit the Palace, be confirmed as PM and put Corbyn back in his box....then the tories can make any change when it suits them....it's the best of a bad position.....

@Moomin 1% short of the 70, argh

Shakes fist.

Done a very very hopeful bet of hung parliment 2 weeks back at 13/2

Happy days

Betting on politics has been profitable these last few years

Indeed. Somehow Corbyn seems to believe that he actually won the election, like how we won the FA Cup in 2009.....

No.

A better analogy is when City came to play us in 2014.

We lost the game.....but in doing so we prevented a greater evil

Remember how we all felt walking away from Goodison that day?

There was a spring in our step.

Corbyn lost the election....but he did enough to stop the Tories winning.

And that was something absolutely no one thought possible a mere three or four weeks ago.

Well in, Jezza la'

Two old bags deciding the fate of a nation , one completely unelected and the other er completly unelected , there's democracy uk style folks!

They had a working majority before, so if there was uniformity in party voting they could pass legislation.

Now they don't. They rely on the DUP voting with them, and that love doesn't come for free.

Also don't forget they had a small majority before but effectively (because the feeling [and why the PM called the election] was that she actually had potentially much greater influence) the Tories could count on a few mischievous Labour MPs to support them, people determined to see Corbyn and his crew out the door.

Now they've only got the DUP and will have little or no support from any Labour.

Indeed.

How long are the English going to put up with the bigots of the DUP dictating terms to the government?

A Tory/DUP coalition is doomed from the getgo IMO

She should have resigned this morning and left it to someone else.

That would trigger another election and we could end up with the same result. Better for her to stay and then be kicked out in due course.

Waiting for the resident Tory boys to explain how these type of terrorists are actually alright

Hahahaha, talk about brave facing it.

The Tories are now relying on the DUP to get anything through the house, good luck with that lol

This is an absolute disaster for them after calling this completely unnecessary election, which was as much about stifling those within their own ranks who were against a hard Brexit, as it was anything else. They spewed the biggest lead they've had in the polls in modern times, via a combination of complete ineptitude and treating the electorate with disdain.

This Govt will end up being virtually inert, and May has been left look like the piss weak suit full of nothing that most saw her as.
