Conservative-DUP Deal - £1bn the price for strong and stable government?

It's hilarious the points trying to be made here when people forget what party started what, what party did what in previous years.

Saving it to spend on keeping Teresa May in No 10, on aircraft carriers, or Buckingham Palace.

Sure isn't going on the NHS, police, social services, you name it.

I remember when Magic Money Trees were as rare as Unicorn poo, now it seems everyone has one

The carrier was ordered by Labour. The Conservatives carried on as the contracts signed meant it would also be expensive to cancel.

Also we are a member of Nato and just about making our Nato commitment of 2% of GDP. If we weren't spending it on the carrier we'd be buying tanks or aircraft or guns. All so we meet the commitment.

Buckingham Palace is part of our heritage. We'd be paying for it if we ditched the Queen and opened it to the public.

NHS and social services are just bottomless pits.

I think you know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

If only we weren't giving NI money to spend but were giving it to the little orphans. Won't somebody think of the children etc.

That unicorn poo is very good fertiliser for the magic money tree and also puts off Cheshire cats sh*tting in your garden.

Seeing as they mentioned the tree ad nauseum during the election campaign, looks like the Tories are certainly full of hornless unicorn poo

The Magic Money Tree promises led to Corbyn averting a disaster. Hardly surprising they now think they have to do it too.

Unlucky Alf

Way to miss the point. The aircraft carrier and Buckingham Palace were bad examples, granted, but maybe we could think about spending money on things that help people. If it helps, feel free to call me an idealist or dreamer if you like.

The money can still be given to those little orphans you mentioned, though they would need to be in NI sadly
