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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

[Brother Leon]

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.

Actually disgusting, she's just paid £1billion to stay in power

Yes she did nobody was even expecting a formal coalition - she went against expectations and wasted a bil.

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...

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

Stones in glass houses, Livia.

[Tom4784]

It's a disgusting and corrupt thing that she's done. She has wasted £1bn that could have been spent elsewhere in order to stay in power.

I pity anyone that even tries to defend that.

Corbyn is the disgusting one, supporting terrorists who bombed the hell out of N.Ireland, wasting billions of taxpayers money on reconstruction and compensation for thousands of ruined businesses, homes and lives.

It honestly causes me despair at how willing people are to **** themselves over because a newspaper told them they should hate Corbyn.

Is that all you've got?
Those of us from N. Ireland knew of Corbyn and his IRA love - in way back in the 70's, before many here even heard of him.
I don't need a current newspaper to educate me.

You seem to be okay with certain terrorists but not others. The DUP has actual links to terrorism yet you seem okay to brush that under the rug because you don't seem to care about what May or the DUP is doing as long as you get to hate on Corbyn.

A dangerous attitude, people voted for the Tories without understanding what it would mean to do so just out of hatred for Corbyn and they aren't paying attention to what May is doing because they're addicted to the 'I hate Jeremy Corbyn' haterade.

Theresa May used a £1bn bribe to solidify their power, a party that is likely going to divide N.I even more with it's newfound prominence but that's all fine because who cares about that when you can hate on Jeremy Corbyn? No need to worry about what's actually happening at all because hating Jeremy Corbyn is the only thing that matters.
