DUP leader Arlene Foster has said the Good Friday Agreement should not be considered untouchable in Brexit negotiations.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Mrs Foster said it was not a sacrosanct piece of legislation.

Would it need a referendum to change it but?

No, just her SPAD to horse trade a little.

Snarlene may be overplaying her hand here.

[Harold Disgracey]

Her arrogance, and ignorance, is astounding.

i think the dup would love a hard border checkpoints the works to keep ulster british at all costs,foster never wanted the good friday agreement to work its in the dna for anything other than equality or power sharing with nationalists.

The mask is slipping for what they really want.

I have said it before - i really don't think these people would be too bothered if they brought the troubles back.

They are saying they will vote against anything that creates any sort of checks/border between NI and over the water. If they do that it might bring on a GE. Surely they would not risk a Labour government?

[Smokin Joe]

If ever there was a time for Sinn Fein to end their policy of not taking their seats in Parliament......

If the Tory government didn't need the DUP votes I have no doubt that they would jettison NI so that the rest of the UK isn't crippled by a No Deal Brexit.

This video is 23 minutes, but well worth a watch to see what Brexit under a No Deal really means.  It'll be carnage.  Surely that is slowly getting through to May:

The Democratic Unionist party has threatened to pull the plug on Theresa May's government, warning it is not bluffing when it says it will not accept a border in the Irish Sea.

Nigel Dodds, the leader of the DUP in the House of Commons, said the party would vote against May if she returned from Brussels with a deal that involved new checks on goods coming into Northern Ireland from Britain.

"We will vote against it. We will vote for our red lines," he told the Guardian.

Hopefully she'll agree to it and Labour abstain as usual.

If the DUP bring down the Government then Brexit is over.
There isn't a popular majority for it now and the Tories are split so there would be an election that Labour would probably win.

Boris said in the tory conference that may's brexit proposal was illegal and quoted some act. It was repealed 51 years ago. What a muppet.
