    One comment I can agree with here ... 'May is in deep trouble.' And to have to rely on N.Ireland politics to see her through - even more concerning. I hope sanity will prevail, eventually, but one thing is certain, Corbyn isn't going to do much other than block all that May tries!! And who will be the losers of all that ...... you and me.

    Corbyn could never actually win, LoL, 5 years of more austerity get used to it :P

    Northern Ireland is badly hit by austerity and spending cuts, it's quite different to the world of the home counties, how will May continue to impose benefit cuts - will they simply not apply in NI? Watch this space.

    It is also an area with some very tricky issues around Brexit. May is in deep trouble.

    No, a loose alliance with the DUP will mean that it will be extremely difficult to get any controversial policies through Parliament.

    Right wing!?

    You need to understand what the DUP stand for.......They are rather more left wing than the Tories of social policies.

    I think a deal with the DUP will see some of the more unpopular pledges from Tories, such the WFP, triple lock on pension, elderly care cost dropped or at least softened!
