The DUP voted with the tories this evening. I don't like that :( (Though it was 6 and not 10).

Perhaps they were intimidated by John McDonnell wanting a United Ireland in the Newsletter.

See Jamie Bryson threatening violence, he doesn't realise that they are no longer the master race,
Times they are a changing.
Yup, he says these protests will be even bigger than Drumcree and the flags protest. Mind you neither of these actually changed anything so I wouldn't be worrying too much.
Careful now

Because he's not getting his way. Plain and simple.

It baffles me how much air time he gets. There are dissident republicans that have a much much larger mandate than he has but don't even get a fraction of the air time. I'm not saying they should, but there must be a reason this Muppet who has only ever managed a handful of votes is wheeled out consistently.

Ye see he represents the poor disenfranchised loyalist working class so he does!!

"Today there will be no breakthrough," said Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite. She added that 28 months after the Brexit referendum, in June 2016, London had still not explained clearly how it wants to leave the EU.
"Today, we do not know what they want. They do not know themselves what they really want. That is the problem," the Lithuanian president told reporters.

Jim Allister complains that Europe are attempting to divide and rule the UK.

Yet not so long ago that is exactly what England did on Ireland.

The Unionists are holding England to ransom in 2018 having held Ireland to ransom in 1920 and having plunged northern Ireland into hell in 1969.  There seems to be a pattern.

The Eurasia Group, a consultancy that that has been producing well-regarded briefings on Brexit, thinks that the chances of a no deal Brexit, although still quite small, have gone up. Mujtaba Rahman, a former European commission official who runs its Europe division, says in a note released today that the odds of the UK leaving without a deal are now at 20%. He says:
A grubby Brexit deal, albeit delayed, is still our base case (45% probability).
However, in recognition of the structural impasse between the two sides over the Irish border, EU negotiators' deep negativity about the status of the talks, the ticking clock and stepped-up preparations for no-deal planning, we are increasing the odds of a cliff-edge exit from 15% to 20%.

The Executive Formation and Exercise of Functions Bill.   In view of the anti-brexit alliance (SF,SDLP,Alliance and Greens) telling the EU that they don't want Stormont to have the powers to work out trade arrangements (because they don't trust the DUP) what's the point in trying to fire this legislation through?  How can the British Government possibly cobble together an executive when it's coming up on 2 yrs since people last voted?  In light of RHI have the DUP lost some of its arrogance and confidence?  It doesn't look like it to me.

Can someone explain to me how extending the exit period helps solve any problems?

Prevents a "hard border" in Ireland till the next British General Election?

"It kicks it down the road" is the phrase that's been used all week.  Ken Clarke on Newsnight last night said 1 more year doesn't really make any difference because trade deals take 6,7,10 years to agree anyhow.   Northern Ireland had 50 odd years of 'status quo'.   Delay, delay, delay seems to be Govt policy at the minute.  So if brushing it under the carpet is an acceptable policy then, hey, it solves everything.
