    I love the Celtic fans hating the prospect of DUP in government.

    That sort of talk is clearly just optics, and to increase the pressure on May. They're not going to come straight out and tell her to have at it.

    There's no other constitutional way forward here. May gets first crack, and she can command the confidence of the house through DUP confidence and supply. It's stupid to suggest otherwise. You can attack whether she should stay on after a transition period, of course.

    If everyone falls into line and votes along the expected lines, then you'd get this:

    Strong and Stable Government: 328
    Coalition of Chaos: 314
    Speaker: 1
    IRA: 7

    So you'd need 7-8 Tories/DUP to vote through the Corbyn Queen's Speech.

    The right did set the precedent for this soiling itself over Gordon Brown attempting to do likewise, so whatever.

    Exactly.

    The DUP, under no circumstances, are going to vote for anything Jez wants.

    All the parties could form a working agreement for BREXIT?

    Never mind the SNP. The real danger is if the DUP are in government.

    From the last election, and it still holds.

    Yet you were going to vote for them 'until the campaigns started' this time around.

    The problem with Corbyn is that he was essentially rooting for Britain to lose what was at that point an armed conflict. There isn't that issue with the DUP, as much as they're still problematic arseholes in many ways.

    So it's taken a complete bumbling on one side and a very good bit of PR campaigning on the other side. Am I not allowed to be convinced? For shame you need to be a 'died in the wool' to not take criticism.

    It's a derogatory term for gays. 'Shit stabber' would be the English version.

    A pejorative term for a gay person.

    So wholly convinced that your entire memory of the government has been fundamentally changed? Noone more zealous than a convert, I suppose.

    Well done Boydy, after doing a degree in political science at some of the most reputational schools in the land, you've reached the same level as a guy wearing cricket pads doing dabs with a bucket on his head.

    edit: That's mean and I'm not sure entirely accurate. Sorry Boyd. I recant.

    My view has always been that the preservation of the Union trumps all. Corbyn wanted it broken apart through coercion. The DUP want to preserve it.

    Her favourite PM was said to be Wilson, and she properly hated the blessed Margaret, so based on that I reckon she wants May dead.

    Aside from the real pictures of a man dressed as a Darth Vader bucket and a man dressed as a Fish Finger. But that's real stuff, rather than photoshopped by some prick with a degree in Twitter.

    This is absolute horseshit from May. You can't do Brexit on this bollocks 'majority'.

    Boris needs to issue a leadership challenge now, they all need to fall in behind him and then he needs to come up with some sort of genuinely unifying Brexit settlement that will get through Parliament. And probably stump up all that NHS money. Then he needs to call and win his own election, and only THEN can we start the negotiations.

    He might be an absolute wanker, but only he has the charisma to pull it off.

    Hard Brexit needed a bigger result. She basically won the election 52-48.
