Interesting to note, further down the feed, that May was "told" by the 1922 Committee to go on TV and apologise to MPs who lost their seats, having said nothing about it at all over the night or when she announced her intention to form a government -- and that there are rumours that if she didn't sack these two aides then she may well have faced a serious challenge to her leadership.

What a wonderful winning feeling she must be having right now.

Yeah. But it would also be bad for the country, because this country would be governed by May until whenever the next election is, and I'd really rather she didn't do any more damage.

Besides, I think this DUP deal is going to end up being pure poison for the conservative party anyway so even without May I'm no longer worried about Labour's future.

Nothing worse for the country than instability and uncertainty - but that's what we have now.

Nobody on the mainland voted for the truly awful DUP, and yet it seems that they will have a very significant role in running Britain...doesn't seem very democratic to me.

No one outside Scotland voted for the SNP.

[Kromovaracun]

Yep. Well done Theresa.

[naomi24]

'Drat. Foiled again'. ;o)

'very significant role in running Britain.'

I'm pretty sure they won't. A C&S deal usually only results in the supporting party receiving modest influence on policy.
