UK General Election 2017

There's a 2 page spread in the Times about the roles played by Nick Timothy & Fiona Hill. They are accused of 'high-handedness & complacency' over the campaign. Hill in particular had run ins with Ruth Davidson for pretty much going on solo runs and not following the strong & stable strategy.

May was the problem. Wouldn't debate, stupid slogans, negative, offered people nothing.  She is useless.

An interesting one is lgbti rights. the scottish coservative leader - who is a very good politician and probably bailed the tories out- is a lesbain and has been questioning may on lgbti rights. She wants to use this coalition to further lgbti rights in the north.

If they further those rights the dup will not look good to it's voters and if they won't further them it won't look good for the tories.

Either way this particular scenario is illustrative of what conniving sellouts they both are!

There's an I added to LGBT now? Jesus people will never remember all that.

You liberal f**kers have a lot to answer for! 

The "liberals" you argue so vehemently with are not real liberals, as they will not tolerate and want to censor any opinion that does not agree with their own.

On Saturday he warned there would be a "price to be paid" by the Conservatives for DUP support, hinting that the party's wish list would include an end to investigations of soldiers and police for their part in the Troubles.

That suits Westminster too though.

It is wrong on so many levels. All the DUP bullshit about terrorism, all their bullshit about the rule of law. It sucks

Yellowcarcd,I used to think like you,but then I considered that successive Dublin governments have shafted the northern community into which I was born repeatedly,and even today it won't countenance a border poll.Furthermore the DUP is no more corrupt than the ruling parties in Dublin,and I don't even know what a Unitec Ireland would look like,particularly economically.

I have no attachment for Unionism,instead I am now convinced that there is a unique N Irish culture and way of life that is separate and distinct from both the South of Ireland and also from England,Wales and Scotland.

In short unrequited allegiance to London and Dublin,neither of whom understands nor wants us,is the thing that divides and tribalises us all,and is totally irrational.

Your bull shit is flowing well as always.

It is particularly galling that it comes after an election where May and the Tories got their asses kicked. A good result has in the short term made things worse. However, it will be a short lived period we have to put up with. Sacking her two advisors shows tremendous weakness, she's a puppet on a string now.

She's basically a prisoner in Downing St until they figure out what to do. It's like the Middle Ages

f**k! Make up your mind, are we back in the 70's or the Middle Ages??

[armaghniac]

For the young ones here the 70s were the Middle Ages.

Hard to know. We live in strange times - Trump, Brexit referendum.  Corbyn's underdog appeal could work for him in the same way it worked for Major against Kinnock in 1992.  Corbyn might also appeal to young voters wishing to protest. It's a long shot I know but here's hoping

Pity I didn't put money on it
