Which UK party wants to stop Brexit? The DUP, the most pro-European of the UK’s main political parties, was the first out of the blocks to support Theresa May. Since then, support for leaving the EU has collapsed among the public in Scotland, the Republic of Ireland and Wales.

If the DUP was to hold the balance of power in the Commons, it would force ministers to adopt a softer approach. There would be fewer votes on Brexit-related matters, and MPs from the party would be given a veto on the final Brexit deal.

Ok change of plans, work are doing a Christmas talent show on the 13th and are looking for performers. Fifteen minute harsh noise set playing my synthesiser with my cock and screaming “FUCK THE TORIES” through a pig mask it is, then.

This reminded me of a pet peeve I saw in a headline earlier. It said something like “ITV wrong to exclude SNP and Lib Dems from debate, court hears”

it’s that “court hears” bullshit, headline always reads like an authoritative thing that has happened rather than just what whoever is bringing the case has spouted out in court
