That's the current rumour, with the Sinn Fein MP's not taking their seats as usual that would provide a small but workable majority.
After all the warnings from the Tory's about a coalition of chaos of Labour and the SNP they now have to get into bed with the DUP - Ulster nationalists in all but name!
The anti-celtic element of the Tory party are now hoisted by their own petard.... 10 DUP plus 13 Scottish Tories isn't a small amount!
There's a high probability of a soft Brexit now which translates into Farage making a comeback.
