ÂŁ1.5bn for Northern Ireland in the deal. Turns out there was a magic money tree after all
still havenât seen the corbynator at glasto
i assume it was rubbish
Fucking hell, itâs absolutely insane that they can do this.
Was about to post this as âThe DUP Deal of Doom Editionâ of the politics thread, but a politics bar is also good.
[quote]The deal is done. Mayâs agreed to a ÂŁ1bn bung over two years to get the votes of the DUP on major matters. Other matters:
So in other words, the DUP have actually killed the only worthwhile policy (double lock) in the Conservative manifesto. Well done them.[/quote]
Wheelsâll fall off soon enough no danger.
âplayed down reports that it had sought ÂŁ2bnâ (BBC)
Do we know how much it is?
no.
Pretty strong school of thought that May shot her bolt with all the DUP nonsense and that she shouldnât have gotten straight in with all of the âgetting a dealâ nonsense. The DUP were never going to let a minority Lab coalition helmed by Corbyn in so⌠shouldâve just held firm and not blasted away concessions early on.
Another thing that points to the embarrassment of talent weâll have around the table in the EU negotiations.
Guess itâs a hell of a lot, whatever the actual figure is.
Does this endanger the funding of future NHS bus adverts?
NHS bus adverts will be replaced with adverts promoting the teaching of creationism.
For a 2 seat majority. Unbelievable. Corbyn needs to go in hard about this.
and more uvf flags
Theyâve just published it.
ÂŁ425m a year to run for 2 years and ÂŁ30m a year to run for 5 years. So exactly ÂŁ1bn in total.
(and odds of a GE within 2 years near 100% given the way thatâs front loaded).
In London we already have those adverts.
âWe did have a cabinet meeting this morning didnât we? I was sure!â
âErm yes. I think Jeremy said he was feeling a bit âflueyâ and Boris has a problem with his boiler, and Gove said he had to take his dog to the vetsâŚâ
So the going rate for a vote to support the government is ÂŁ100m per mp then.
Iâd be taking this sorry lot to the cleaners regardless as well, tbf.
Whereâs it being spent?
If any significant amountâs going on the NHS thatâs the Tory and supportersâ claims that theyâre not damaging the NHS out the window.
