Don't know about excitement, but just want them to get on with it all.

That's a nice Ł1B bribe there. There is No Magic money tree though..

[jet]

They managed to get May to keep the triple lock pension and scrap means testing for winter fuel payments.
Plus 1B for our NI infrastructure which is still not as it should be after decades of being bombed. I'm happy enough.

It's claimed the DUP support the Cons anyway.
So no deal should be needed.

This stinks of bought votes in Parliament.

I'd imagine a good number of mainland voters of all Parties are livid at bigoted sectarian politicians having any cosy arrangement with a UK govt.
No matter how loose the deal is.

It stinks and very strongly too.

Yes, I'd imagine it will be a key focus point in the next election that will screw them over in the long run.

The next time they brand Corbyn's ideology as "Pie In The Sky". The next time Nurses are told they can't have a pay rise due to lack of funds, the next time public services are cut again and again, just remind them that Theresa May just promised a Billion like it was nothing, all to keep herself in Government.

Without needing to, she has a majority over Labour,Lib Dem,SNP,PC,Green and Northern Irish Independent combined anyway.

The DUP bigots near always support the Cons so are no threat and Sinn Féinn annoyingly don't take up their Westminster seats.

She could and should have been able to govern alone.
However now,the DUP demand money for their votes and get it too.
That really stinks.

As for pensions and cuts to winter fuel allowance with or without the sectarian bigots of the DUP, she was never going to get that policy passed now anyway.

In this clip TM quite categorically says that no Magic Money Tree exists

So they must have got the Billion from somewhere else i think

You would say differently if Corbyn needed Sinn Fein to support Labour. Ah then you wouldn't complain. All that moralising - I bet would only apply one way.

No accusations of support for terrorist factions then?

This is a bribe plain and simple, cash for votes, it is undemocratic and needs to be challenged.

Why is it becoming increasingly common to hypothetically accuse people of something on tibb. You have no idea how people would react in a different situation brillo.

To be honest Withano, it never stops you.

[Kizzy]

I doubt Corbyn would allow himself to be held to ransom in such a way.

[Livia]

LOL... no of course Corbyn wouldn't be caught dead with terrorist. Oh no, hang on...

Actually was wondering why serious debates got quieter recently, assumed it was because bb was back on - it was probably just your lack of ****stirring.

Doesn't really work when Theresa May is getting into bed with the DUP, does it?

Stones in glass houses, Livia.

I don't like them, but any support the DUP had for sectarianism (and it was tenuous to say the least) were in defence of a country being bombed to bits and their citizens killed and maimed by the IRA, several murderers of which organisation are still members of Sinn Fein. There are no murderers in the DUP and never have been. I suppose you think NI Unionists should just have sat back and let the IRA/Sinn Fein do their worst?
What sort of fairytale land does your mind live in?
