Wonder if all those showing their faux compassion on AFD will throw their support behind our public services when it comes to the vote... or will the DUP earn their billion by blocking this?...

Don't you approve of the poorer parts of Ireland getting a financial boost then.

The DUP want the money to spend on improving run down infrastructures etc in Ireland don't they - are you suggesting the money will be spent on things other than the things they say they want it for. And if so a evidence!

Stop reading what you like into my posts please....

What they intend to use the money for is not the issue, all areas of every country in the UK are crying out for improvements due to austerity imposed cuts.

The fact is the govt only agreed to the funding to secure DUP votes, had there been no agreement on that there would be no funding. That is the issue here, the DUP were bribed to ensure the govt retained office.

If Sinn Fein were needed to support a Labour government would you have had a problem with that? Corbyn has supported them in the past - it could have, could still be a possibility at some point in the future.

What has that to do with the issue of the bribe? It's yet another hypothetical.
There is no deal, Sinn Fein don't even take their seats in the commons and Labour don't have almost 2 billion of public money to give them :/

Someone brought this hypothetical up before and it doesn't work simply because Labour would never need a coalition with Sinn Fein while their goals align with that of the SNP and the Lib Dems.

Tories have gone for the DUP deal because no other party is willing to join up with them. The DUP were their last and only resort.

The idea of a Sinn Fein/Labour coalition just isn't likely at any point but if the damn near impossible were to happen then, yes, I'd oppose them just like I would the Tory/DUP deal because I'm not a hypocrite.

The money isn't for NI, it's for the DUP.
