    The DUP will squeeze her for everything they can get.

    Most likely Vince, but they've got to form a government and decide her fate in 11 days for the Brexit negotiations otherwise we'll have nobody authorised to conduct them. Only Labour have been given permission to put the negotiations back.

    this happened recently in the local elections I believe.
    A coin was used as the Returning Officer hadn't brought any straw with them.

    You only get down to this stage, normaly, after at least a couple of re-counts.

    I can see some of the factions in the tory party "publicly" re-emerging and forcing her out - Sowerby (spelling) has already come out and said she needs to consider her position

    Or unlimited counts until 300 extra Tory votes appear magically out of nowhere like with Amber Rudd:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I heard her (Anna Soubry) on the radio this morning.

    Thats her - I think (if I remember correctly) she had a job in the cabinet with Cameron and Tess sacked her when she got elected leader - no axe to grind there then!

    Well I've just watched May's short speech & I'm lost for words.
    She must have used the word "certainty" 3 or 4 times.
    Any of you lot certain?

    I'm certain she hasn't got an ounce of decency in her body - talk about hanging on for grim death

    Certain about what, Billy . . . . politics, football, sexual persuasion ?

    My answer's probably 'no' . . . . to them all <whistle>

    Yep & now in bed with the Unionists who have links to Loyalist paramilitaries just like Sinn Fein do to the IRA.

    Corbyn said that he would sign the "letters of last resort" that is the procedure for a defensive strike

    Obviously I was hoping for a conservative majority. My main concern was that JC would be leading our new government. I'm content with the outcome.

    I cannot see another way round it Sid...They are not forming a coalition with the DUP its a case by case basis. May will leave soon, and a new leader will have to govern the country with no working majority. Its a total mess. I will hold my hands up and say well done to Corbyn, As much as I still don't think he can run the country, he ran a very very good campaign.

    Easy peasy then for labour to fund it because of a manifesto, time will tell its still a debacle none the less for the uk at this point in time.

    Quite easy to cost something ... not so easy to actually fund it in the real world.
