Hang on Beefy, that's unfair. It's Sinn Fein who have made that statement not May. She's just looking to secure her position and find a government.. She didn't know that Sinn Fein would say that and now they have, should she be weak and change her mind due to a threat?

She'd be slaughtered for being weak if she did that. Another U-turn. She's done enough of them.

She's shown herself to be very poor this last few weeks and had a **** campaign, but let's not just sling mud for the sake of it.

It's a very delicate situation over there already at the moment and that is not due to a decision made now.

Imagine the headlines in The Mail, Express and Sun if Corbyn had formed a coalition with Sinn Fein.

For the record, this is not the Ulster Unionist Party, a sectarian but legitimate political organisation with historic links to the Conservative and Unionist Party; this is the DUP - an extremist organisation with historic links to loyalist terrorists.

Prior to this election, I had no idea that recounts were best-five-out-of-nine series.

The irony is certainly not lost on me when Corbyn was pilloried for his lack of being anti-terrorist enough for some Tory newspapers.

Her own minster in Scotland is lesbian,wonder how she feels? There comes a point were you have to think that siding with a party as bad as the DUP isn't a good thing. Take the minority party and then go for another election in a few months etc. She is done anyways.

Beefy. How many people do you think know that the minister is lesbian?

I would imagine not many.

I hold my hands up, I didn't until this election.

My point is simply that I, and I am sure many others reading this agree with you 100%, . but it is amazing how many people are not aware of facts like that..

Or is it just me?

I was thinking a warm pint of Special Brew. The choice of people looking for a touch of wonderment, at the effect a simple sip of said beverage can have, when served warm, on a warm day..... *







* **** me.

Mrs jasper reckons I have eaten a dictionary for dinner.

What other options does she have though? She has to form a government and the Lib Dems and SNP aren't interested. I'm not happy about it but she literally had no alternative.

She doesn't have to form an alliance with anyone. She should have had the guts to run as a minority Government or had the wisdom of Merkel and sit down with the major opposition to work a program for the next 5 years for the benefit of the country. But no, our politicians are too stupid for that.

I am really looking forward to Brexit hitting the buffers with hours of the negotiations beginning and our EU partners making full use of the fiesta days and not bother turning up. Time to stuff May and her cronies.
