The election was a disaster for the Tories. And it really does give JC a chance of becoming a PM.

With a No confidence vote being given into Parliament very soon after Parliament opening.

DUP want assurances to support TM, But this will be thrown out by various parties.

And even Stupid Boris is hotly tipped to take over. See the knives and have been sharpened and are ready to go for the kill
I don't know how you can be delighted with the outcome, Arthur. Corbyn still lost the election, and now we have a chaotic situation that will be difficult to retrieve.

If this impacts on our Brexit negotiations, this could mean a bad deal for the UK that will impact adversely on our economy. That will lead to even more austerity.

So tell me, Arthur, why on earth would you be 'delighted at the outcome'?

But Corbyn is weaker without Diane Abbott by his side to help him calculate the cost of his policies.

The talks with the DUP don't start until Tuesday, in fact. I would be surprised if this came to anything other than an agreement to continue voting with the Conservatives, as they have always done.
