MayDUP government confirmed

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Faisal Islam is saying on his Twitter that the Barnett formula may not apply.

 

The Tories will find a way around it if possible, you can bet your house on that. This coalition won't last long, it's going to cause too much shit, the Tory bank benchers will soon start the infighting as well.

You saying the DUP ain't with it?

 

 

Tremendous craic 

[Stickman]

This isn't going to end well for May, and couldn't come at a worse time as a new leader waits in the wings...

 

Fuck you Jeremy Corbyn

 

Crowd at Northamptonshire village fete breaks into chant of 'Andrea Leadsom'

 

 

A PASSIONATE crowd of about 15 people broke into chants of ‘Oh, Andrea Leadsom’ at a village fete in Northamptonshire yesterday. The chant, to the tune of The White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army, spread rapidly through the crowd in the village of Spemble, before Leadsom surprised everyone by turning up and doing the tombola.

 

Local resident, Tom Booker, said: “Everyone around me was chanting her name. “From the cheese stand to the balloon corner, everyone let it be known that they wanted Andrea Leadsom to run this country. “It was kind of deafening when I think about it.” Fellow resident, Emma Bradford, added: “You can’t argue with those kinds of numbers.” Leadsom then gave a rousing three minute speech about ‘why we should all be more patriotic’, ending with a quote she claimed was from Gandhi but was actually from Hermann Goering.

Theresa May shows how she will stand up to EU's hard negotiators demanding cash by giving DUP £1bn in cash.

The PM told a nurse that there was no magic money tree for a pay rise. But there is one to keep those bunch of bigots sweet.

Game of cunts.

"I just want to tell you good luck destroying the peace process in Northern Ireland and taking us off a cliff with Brexit. We're all counting on you"

[Winston Wolf]

What does Stronts think about the Tories going into Coalition another with a pointless, desperate for any kind of sniff at power, flat earth style fringe party?

[PestiRed]

Fair play to Northern Ireland for unilaterally negotiating changes to the Barnett formula. It'll teach the Scottish and Welsh not to elect Tories again

[PestiRed]

Damian Green, the first secretary of state, said the money for Northern Ireland was a “block grant that is not part of the usual [barnett] formula”. “We found the extra money to spend in all parts of the United Kingdom because we run a strong economy,” he added.

 

Now he's really taking the piss

[G Richards]

If only the people could have properly made up their mind and voted decisively to give a party a mandate to govern. The whole thing is a mess.

£1bn ransom demand met.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So it is.

Megadrive Man - repped for the clever thread title. 

[Denny Crane]

I guess it's good news for the people of Northern Ireland, a relatively huge investment in their community.

 

It's the equivalent of around 80 billion being spent across the rest of the United Kingdom. It will give Labour the SNP and Plaid something to get their teeth into.

 

Throw in all the vile shite the tories spouted about being propped up and this will damage the tories.

 

A two year agreement; so it looks like the tories are trying to hold out until post brexit negotiations then set themselves up for an election.

Haha, brilliant.

[PestiRed]

It's sort of hard not to see this as a political party using taxpayer's money as a bribe to stay in power. But then I remember that only foreigners are corrupt so it must be ok

No amount of money is worth destabilising the peace process over there. 

 

I genuinely think this coalition is an illegal act. We are no longer in a democracy either.

Has Maybot explained where this initial 1 billion is coming from yet?

Fresh air.  They create it with a debit in the BOE ledgers it like everything else the government spends, Just more fuel on the inflation bonfire they lit with Brexit,

Giving money to disadvantaged people - compassionate conservatism.

 

Prepare for government, Theresa!

 

The comeback starts here!
