This is a cracking read. The DUP refused to pick up the phone for 36 hours earlier this week. The Tories are probably wondering wtf are we dealing with here?

Theresa May made a hush hush visit to Kensington yesterday. The reception she got as she left was probably what they were trying to avoid by keeping it quiet.

Brexit talks.
PM May offers deal, EU citizens living legally in the U.K. will be allowed to stay in the UK.

"Allowed" to stay.....well isn't that good of them.

Was this ever going to be anything else?
After Brexit deport every German Irish French Italian Spanish etc man, woman and child??

They've already said the common travel area between the UK and Ireland will remain after Brexit, well May did if you can believe anything she says.She is a one woman walking disaster.

Corbyn overtaking May as PM choice for the first time according to YouGov by 35-34. It was 15-54 in mid-April, and the first time a Labour leader has lead that Q in a decade

Interrupted Radiohead's performance on Main Stage with the singing now LOL

I fear it's gonna be the next Yaya/Kolo Toure song, overplayed then becomes annoying, but it begs the question how the actual f**k is he not PM now that he's nationwide viral now.

Apparently the deal between the Conservatives and the DUP. The prospect of another election is now off the table for the short term, foreseeable future. But the stability of the arrangement is dubious at best.

An extra billion quid in the back pocket. Happy days for the unionists.

Its still amazingly tight just to get the Queens Speech passed, never mind last 6 months as a government - 328 MPs and 326 No's calls another election, there will be less than 10 votes in it.

The fact they're sharing power with SF might make it more difficult to redistribute the funding in their own favour.

I'd imagine the English Tory voter wouldn't be too pleased that 1 billion pound is heading to "those people" across the water as Thatcher called them.
