That tree was always there it helped to bail out the banks. Of course it only gets used on certain things, can't keep pulling the money off here and there on this and that.

Unfortunately both Labour and the Conservatives are locked in this nasty situation where Labour spends all the money giving the Conservatives the power to put the screws on way to hard.

Both party's can not be trusted, when you look at the rest under them two there is no hope as the whole political system sucks.

Nicola Sturgeon is to make an announcement later today on the "way forward for Scotland" following the general election result.
Ms Sturgeon had called for an independence referendum to be held in the autumn of next year or the spring of 2019.
But she has been considering her options since the SNP lost 21 seats in the election earlier this month.

May tune in to hear what she has to say 2pm onwards.

Strange, Sky forums are like newspapers read them bin them. I will admit I am sloppy unlike in real life filling forms out where I take more care and due attention.


Right lets get back on form...

Oh boo-hoo to you live with it. I will have to live with Brexit for better or worst.

German finance minister hopes UK 'will realise Brexit mistake'

http://news.sky.com/story/german-fin...stake-10930445



How can you say its a mistake at this stage? Try again in 10 years then you will have your answer, no one knows if Brexit will be good or bad its far to early to say as we are in the very early stages of talks.

The Government has defeated a Labour bid to end the cap on public sector pay in the first parliamentary test of the Tory-DUP deal.
Labour had attempted to push through an amendment to the Queen's Speech calling on ministers to recruit more police officers and firefighters and to end the 1% limit on annual pay rises for public sector workers.
But their efforts were defeated in the House of Commons, with 323 MPs opposing the amendment versus 309 in favour. The result gave the Government a majority of 14.

First blood to the Tory/DUP but how long will the DUP back the Tories?

Yes, why even support the police and firefighters in these days?!
While Labour probably proposed that in part for populistic reasons, it is not the badest of ideas? It does not matter what's best for the country when there's a chance to give the opposition a kick

@Steed don't you think the DUP might love backing the Tories in that respect? For me the DUP somehow looks like Northern Irish Tories. On the other hand i got the impression that the DUP's ties to 'national military forces' (they do not call them terrorists) are stronger than Corbyn's(?)

Theresa May and her cronies can't throw the IRA sympathizer jibes at Jeremy Corbyn without revealing that one of their own was a former member of the IRA now can one.
Keep sweeping Maria Gatland under the carpet long enough and its eventually forgotten about, some of us have long memories though.

I think anything that effects NI in a bad way the DUP would probably abstain from supporting the Tories. The DUP will always put NI before England Scotland and Wales, they are indeed hard line centre right probably some what more further right than the Tories. And just to add if the Tories are still in power in two years time bet you the DUP will be back demanding a greater share of power and money.

^How convenient that there was no mention of Maria Gatland in your last post STEED, or are you happy to sweep it under the carpet as well?.
