I think getting into bed with DUP is going to stick in the craw with a great deal of people (myself included) especially coming from someone who claimed 'no deal is better than a bad deal' - fine, but it seems ironic that she'll team up with anyone who can make any deal, just to crawl over the finish line.

yes thats the whole point!
The government is so fragile now. Getting anything through will be a nightmare...
It will fail in weeks...
If you want a good laugh, just search back a few pages for scorza's defence of the DUP....

That ship has already sailed. Brexit is happening, all that has changed is how it goes down. The empty no deal rhetoric has now been blown out of the water as the bedfellows May has chosen have some specifics they want out of the deal such as single market.

But it is true though, how else do you explain his support for the IRA, Hamas, Hezbollah?
Soldato
yes otherwise they won't prop chairman May up

She should have stuck to Buck Rogers.

DUP 2017 manifesto key points

But DUP are different how?

We are the citizens of nowhere, didn't you know? We have been cast off as surplus to requirements.

She already had all that. She didn't need to call an election. She's an idiot.

you do know that the best Brexit deal for NI is single market access which is incompatible with May's brexit dream right ?

I don't think it's the doom and gloom the media are making out for the Conservatives so long as the DUP play ball, they don't have an overall majority but they do have a majority of the vote so remainers can no longer claim that May doesn't have a mandate for Brexit so they can shut about having another referendum on the terms of Brexit and it's put Sturgeon in her place over Scottish independence. Not to mention Brexit won't be sabotaged in 2 years if she had lost a later election which was quite possible after 2 years of the EU sabotaging negotiations.
The establishment are trying hard to get her to resign because she's the only one willing to fulfill the will of the British people on Brexit.

I think she might U turn on that though. But fundamentally if they can get DUP support in return for some reasonable concessions, the country might actually have a chance rather than descend into a constant cycle of elections.

Are you really mistaking "talking to" with support?
I'm talking to you, doesn't mean I support you.
