See she's already been to see the Queen. Did the Queen tell her to eff off or what?

Not sure what the status of government is.

More likely to have been "Eff Orf"

as a side to the tory/labour discussion I find whats happened in norn iron astonishing. Theyve basically wiped the actual political parties on the centre left and centre right off the map and stuck all their eggs in the respective political arm of the old paramilitary groups basket

Yeah I agree actually. UK government holding hands with the unionist party will be making the other side in N.I. very uneasy. It could be a dangerous step by May.

LOL...Corbyn, shit when he fails, shit when he succeeds, just shit really.

Guess we can have this discussion when it actually happens.

From what Sky are saying they are a shady radical bunch and we have to rely on them for support,i don't what them having a say in what happens to us plebs out here

But they do anyway as they are elected MPs with a vote in parliament.

A lot of Tory MPs unhappy about associating with the DUP a party whose candidates were endorsed by a loyalist umbrella group which represents the UDA.
Chief concern is that the DUP will extract concessions from May regarding local Northern Ireland issues which might just upset Sinn Fein a bit. This could destabilize the Nortern Ireland peace already under strain after Brexit and the collapse of the assembly a few months back.
PS they are also anti same sex marriage,anti abortion, formerly climate change deniers and pro creationists.

one on radio last night saying any brexit deal should have a hard border, dangerous lot to have to rely on

Keep reading the word coalition on here. Has that actually been mentioned, or is it a supply and confidence government? If it is a coalition, will there be DUP cabinet members?

I think the term is 'an understanding' between both parties

Last week there was a London Labour MP begging her electorate to vote for her as she thought Corbyn was affecting her chances. Must feel a bit silly today.

So basically, all this has done is give corbyn more credibility and taken away the tories majority. Another fine mess officer may...
