Current Affairs 2017 General Election

Has to be. The Tories are just getting their breath back and buying time with this DUP deal to get their bearings after a massive snub and to get a leadership campaign off the ground and sorted.

They cant stay around the DUP for too long - they will become even more toxic than they are.

Shaking money trees for that lot. FFS, it's unreal.

Hard to disagree.

This must be part of the 'clear plan' to establish a 'stronger, fairer, more prosperous Britain', that was on the front of their manifesto.

Dirty.

Dodgy.

Duped. (sic)

Done.

Take your pick mate. The whole stinking mess is, well, a sickening mess.

It's no different to the bribes we pay Scotland via the Barnett policy, or the placing of military shipbuilding contracts......

lol

Only a true Tory fanboy could claim that this isn't any different to those examples. Incredible spin.

It will be spun as May being able to deliver a stable govt to get the key stuff through, so she can be dead strong and stable with the EU.

The fact is, she went to said EU today with this 5 year Settled proposal for EU citizens in the UK, plus saying none would be lobbed out. Seemed a reasonable proposition to me. Like, carry on regardless.

Met with a huge Non, Nein.

Just terrific.

It's different in that it risks an already fragile peace agreement in the region. I'm fearful for 12th July over there

I dont read it like that.

Unless the DUP spend the cash in only certain areas, y'know.

And if that happens, then holy cow, what an utter balls up that will prove to be.

Predictably so, and now she's in so many knots she can't do anything without falling flat on her face. Pythonesque, and that's without mentioning her upstaging Trump on bare-faced lies.

I dont like the dup, but i'm sure the money will be spent to benefit the entire community, i'm also quite sure the shinners will get their irish language act as a little sweetener

Sorry lads, I have no idea about any of that.

But to this observer, it seems a grubby deal, that if not handled well, has the potential to be a problem. Which I think you both allude to.
