...and now it's happened. How long would you give it?
More free money. More dependence on English largesse. More of a spending backlash when England eventually elects a labour government.“What means that trump?” Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare0 -

Well, probably, but the long term implications may be interesting. Having confidently expected president Hillary, a majority for remain and a strong Tory victory, I'm not making any predictions. The only result I was correct on was a retreat for Scottish nationalism. I'd say you could have made a useful profit if you'd been able to bet on Alex salmond losing his seat in 2017, a couple of years ago.
I see the Scots are upset already (check The Scotsman website) - suddenly all this money is available for here and none for them. Who could blame them?
I can't see why TM needed a deal at all. The DUP were not going to back Corbyn.“What means that trump?” Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare0 -

There was nothing stopping either the SNP or Plaid Cymru from doing a deal with the Conservatives - sounds like sour grapes on their part.
I'm just stunned that NI politicians have acted like grown-ups for once, and have secured money which will benefit everyone in NI, not just one side or the other.0 -
I can't see SNP making a deal with the Toarrries, but you're right - whose fault's that?
Looks like they've had their day - even in the seats they won, they were nowhere near 50 % of the vote. Therefore a referendum if forced through should lead to yet another political career ending in failure. More Scottish labour MPs?“What means that trump?” Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare0 -
I'd like to see just how this money will be spent.
No doubt the DUP will find some shameful way to make a pigs ear of it.
And RHI hasnt even been investigated yet...0 -

If there's no return to Stormont then it will be controlled by Westminster, if Stormont returns then it will be both DUP and Sinn Fein. I'd be shocked if all the spending areas mentioned ended up with DUP ministers0 -

They won't and they can't. The opposition will be ready to pull this down at the slightest hint of skullduggery.
Credit where credit's due and all that - you have to hand it to Arlene for squeezing a billion quid out of a PM who really didn't need to give her anything. Perhaps they should call her in to negotiate brexit.“What means that trump?” Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare0
