May:

As we set out at the beginning of the talks, we share many values in terms of wanting to see prosperity across the UK, the value of the union, the important bond between the different parts of the United Kingdom.

We very much want to see that protected and enhanced and we also share the desire to ensure a strong government, able to put through its programme and provide for issues like the Brexit negotiations, but also national security issues.

So the agreement we have come to is a very, very good one, and look forward to working with you.

Very, very good for who? The DUP? yes, certainly. The UK? No.

isnt trident renewal based on the suibs, theres no upgrade to the missiles.

we could continue to operate our current subs for ages just they may be vulnerable to more advanced followers.

I believe that is the case, it's more the renewal of the subs than the actual weapon system it's self, I think thats the actual discussion that needs having, I seem to remember reading something saying that not a single one of our current class of our boomers has ever been detected by a foreign navy so the question should be more what is more viable a SLEP or a full replacement, as they are not that old in the grand scheme of Military equipment, so is it really necessary to replace them?

Also realistically what role to Nuclear weapons have to play in the world today, are we likely to see a war between nation states happen again (major powers)? do Nuclear weapons have any place as a deterrent to ISIS or similar? considering there is little viable retalliatory action that can be taken, if russia fires Nukes then thats easy as you just send some there way, but could nuking Iraq really be justified if ISIS set off a dirty bomb, considering they have no affiliation to the Iraqi state and are activly in conflict with them?

I expect the Telegraph, DM and Express will have headlines calling May a traitor and demanding her resignation tomorrow...................oh wait.
 
Oh yay, an extra £1B for those absolute muppets in power in Stormont to blow on who knows what. Useless pack of ********* all them.
 
They told me if I voted Labour I'd get a coalition* of chaos with terrorist sympathisers and that's exactly what happened!

*Yes, I know it's not a coalition.
 
It actually works out to be an extra £4,936 per person who voted DUP. That's a lot per vote. It would be much simpler and the Tories could have a majority if they promised everybody who voted Tory an extra £4,936. Oh wait, thats illegal and they can't.

Lets also not forget that this deal has the potential of destabilising the peace deal in N. Ireland !
