If the DUP is associated with terrorists... then what of Sinn Fein? Are they NOT associated with terrorists now? Because Corbyn has been very cosy with them over the years and the IRA killed more Irish people than the Republicans and the British Army put together. And it's not just the IRA... Jeremy likes all kinds of terrorists. Except right wing ones, presumably that's where he draws the line.

Also very good point.

Is he promoting a coalition with anyone associating with a terrorist organisation?
I won't reiterate points made countless times regarding peace protests and diplomatic talks.

No he isn't, you are spot on.

I wish however he and other leaders would do this and if I was an MP I would be doing all I could to get Sinn Féinn to take up their democratically elected seats in Westminster.

Only because they would be against the Cons and help restore the Irish balance of elected voting strength in the Commons.

Any deal of any formal format however with Sinn Féinn or the DUP is abhorrent to me.

If he had a chance of making up the numbers he'd form a coalition with anyone.

Like your Mrs May and Cons are doing.
Having alienated just about all other Parties at Westminster,even the Lib Dems who they were in coalition govt.with up to just 2 years ago.

Now begging,crawling and buying the votes of the uncompromising, extreme and sectarian DUP.
Just to hold onto power.

Willing to just possibly cause problems with the N I peace process along the way.

I see you're getting into the habit of not reading what I said and making stuff up since I already mentioned the Tories coalition will be the downfall of May.

Our politics has never been so entertaining but it's also a little sad that we don't have any decent alternatives.

Merely pointing out she is the one who appears to be willing to do deals with anyone for funds to stay in power.

Labour has always said,they would simply present a Queen's speech and it would be up to all other Parties to vote it down.

That,if Labour were the largest party,would be unlikely as there is a massive anti Tory feeling in Westminster from all other Parties now,save for the contemptible DUP.

As for Boris Johnson,this thread is about him, he is to me a totally ambitious opportunist,who will lie,switch sides and backstab anyone to fuel his own over inflated ego.
Because he acts the Buffoon people see him as harmless really, when he's far from it.

He likely would be even more inept at being a Prime Minister than Mrs May and that is and should be a concern for the UK.
