One billion quid for 10 votes, 100 million per MP. Now that's what I call negotiating. Donald Tusk must be pissing himself.
And that is just for starters mate.
Indeed, if she lasts two years they will have much bigger demands. The biggest joke is that they cannot afford to see the Tory government collapse as they are afraid of what a Corbyn administration might do in Northern Ireland.
She is essentially paying them to vote in the way they would vote anyway.
Still,look on the bright side, for us here in Northern Ireland austerity has ended.
The funniest thing ever is the Tories trying to keep straight faces when blagging that this money was always on the cards no matter what, and their backing down on scrapping the pension triple lock, also the winter fuel payment changes (both the DUP were strongly against) had nothing to do with getting the deal with the DUP signed off.
honestly.. it's about time they remembered they are in place to serve us.. not themselves. I doubt anybody in the uk is in support of this.. except those minority who benefit from it. A shocking display of desperate arrogance to cling on to what she knows is not right.

Of course it's a good deal for the UK. What's a billion or two going to help NI compared with the gazillions Corbyn would have borrowed and wasted for our kids to pay back. The political hypocrisy coming out of Scotland on this matter is laughable considering they demand money for anything at the drop of a hat. We on mainland U.K. tend to forget about NI to some degree but this may give a good kickstart for the further development of the province......

It would be exactly the same if Corbyn tried to do a deal with the LD's and the SNP. The LD's would have demanded money be spent on some outlandish items, the SNP would have extracted both money and another vote on independence. This is what happens when greedy people buy into all the freebies Corbyn promised......

Ha, it's the greedy voting for Corbyn is it?
See above, and just link the Mail article rather than pass if off as your own sloppy work.

What Mail article, have you read something that I haven't, or is this like pulling the racist card....
And of course it was greedy voting for Corbyn. Free tuition, paying off debts, what else would you call it, the national interest ?.....
