Yeah Pete wheeling out the fella who did literally nothing else for his £250k MEP salary but poke the EU in the ribs at every available opportunity would be a great choice for the most important negotiations in our modern history ffs.

The loser was the woman who called an unnecessary election in order to bolster her overall majority of 17 to effectively silence those within her own ranks who opposed her hard Brexit push, and ended up with no majority and relying on terrorist sympathising, religious cranks in order to try and cling to power.

Orange Order asks DUP to use Drumcree march in talks with May
Supporters of the DUP are demanding Theresa May allow a banned loyalist march as part of an agreement by the Northern Irish party to prop up a minority Conservative government.
The Portadown Loyal Orange Lodge (LOL), who are currently prevented from marching in the flashpoint Garvaghy Road in following a long history of sectarian violence, have put out a statement amid speculation as to what concessions the DUP could demand in return for striking a deal with the Tories.
Orangemen were banned from marching through the nationalist area of the mainly loyalist town 20 years ago following repeated riots during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Protests against the ban culminated in 1998 with the shocking murders of three young boys after their house was firebombed in a loyalist arson attack.
The boys’ mother was Catholic and the family lived in a mainly Protestant area. The brothers – Richard, Mark and Jason Quinn, aged 11, 9 and 7, were asleep when a petrol bomb was thrown through the window of their house.
The statement on Twitter congratulates the Orange Order’s “fellow Brother” David Simpson, the MP for Upper Bann, known for strident religious views including a belief in creationism, for his newfound place at the centre of mainstream British politics.
“Portadown District LOL notes the outcome of the recent general election with interest. We would like to congratulate fellow Bro. David Simpson and all the other unionist representatives," it said.
“We note the invitation from the Prime Minister to the DUP to support her government. We trust that the parading issue especially in Portadown will be high on the agenda for the new Government.
“It is clear that the endeavour of the orange family to maximise the unionist vote paid dividends and consequently the DUP has been given the opportunity and responsibility to deliver for the people of Northern Ireland. We trust that they are successful in promoting the values of the Unionist People and the Orange fraternity. We wish them well in the weeks and months that lie ahead.”
It concludes, in block capitals: “HERE WE STAND WE CAN DO NO OTHER.”

Way too much been banded about the DUP, they will get cash and help with actual infrastructure projects. If you listened to the left wing news or people on here you would swear we will be forced to talk like Ian Paisley, stop women's rights and start marching.
No chance of them holding a government to ransom when it's so fragile that anything controversial will kill it dead anyhow.

That must be a tongue in cheek comment, surely!

I had to double check the Watford Observer wasn't a satire/parody site. If it was tongue in cheek it's very misguided on polling day, and worse if it wasn't. And I'd say the same if the owner had said vote Labour too.
