Does anyone know what loyalists are actually loyal to? They aren't loyal to the UK government because they don't listen to what they say to them and don't agree with any laws they make for NI e.g. abortion laws. They aren't loyal to the crown as they are going against this Windsor framework that has King Charles blessing.

Stormont Brake vote today in Westminster, DUP not supporting along with the intellectual heavyweights in the ERG led by Mark Francois.. Labour will see this over the line as much as its being seen as an indicative vote on the full Windsor Framework, but too many rebels will mean Sunaks time is limited.

Johnson not voting for an agreement that builds on his own "oven ready" agreement says all you need to know about these self serving c***ts.
Soft as shite Sunak should enforce a 3 line whip and any "rebels" fucked out of the party.

At this point I think Johnson is a Labour plant.. No way does he think the public will go for him as a PM again, just ruining the Tories - Great too see all the same

Only 29 votes against the deal, take the 8 dupers out that only leaves 21 Tory rebels. Shows over, deal done.

The show is well and truly over for wee Jeff and the lads.

He either toes the line or its direct rule.

The last kick of a dying party will want to cause carnage here

At least Jim Shannon is using his influence at Westminster for good things. Putting a motion in to honour Dolly Parton on the 50th anniversary for one of her songs  ::)

Only 29 against, that is a laughable figure. Honestly thought there would be a sizeable minority that could give some, albeit minor, credence to the DUP position but it's over for them

What's next though, I just don't know. Think the GFA is done, we need to move to a coalition of the willing

Yeah I was a bit worried too. That's them put in their box, though probably briefly, but there'll be plenty of noise from them yet.

I expected well over 100 rebels from the talk all week. We could probably name the 29 as there seemed to be that many publicly saying they would go against it!
Total embarrassment for the DUP and ERG (how many members do they actually have in reality?!)

This should be in the WTF category.......what an absolute clown, sums up the calibre of politician in this country.  This is like something you would expect the Healy Reas to come out with.

smort

WTF is the only response to that

What are these guys actually smoking

8 DUP, Johnson, Truss, JRM and Patel, all stated they were voting against.

On GMU this morning, they'd a fella from the ERG on saying that they had "dozens of members", and they wouldn't recommend voting for the Framework, however all members had a free choice on what way to vote.

So it looks like most of those members decided to vote for the framework.

I called it a couple if days ago. It was always going to be humiliating. How can they keep at this shit when they get hammered in the UK parliament and on top of that a poll in NI claims only 16% of the population are against the new protocol. Surely to fook the game is up, enough of the wankers
