Loving all the Conservatives defending paying out billions in extra to Northern Ireland and keeping pensions triple-locked yet if Corbyn thinks of increasing spending they say we have no money tree.

The Brexit-loving Sun newspaper is talking of a £24bn cost to the deal with the DUP so pretty equal to your wildest criticisms of Labour. Looks like Theresa May has nicked Diane Abbott's Excel spreadsheet!

Re: Queens Speech (Government Plans) 2017

I dont know if the sun's figures are accurate but yeah we have to remember its not just the 1 billion funding for NI, but also the cost of the pension giveaways.

I wonder where the money tree is planted.

Yep there seems to be 2 magic money trees now as Corbyn has one and the Conservatives have the other one.

Difference is of course labour never had to spend any billions, it's not like the tories have kept any of their election pledges so why expect anyone else to and it still might end up costing 24 billion to not keep those promises

Queen to receive £6m pay increase from public funds
The Queen is to receive an 8% increase in income from public funds, after the Crown Estate's profits rose by £24m.
The Sovereign Grant, which pays for the salaries of her household, official travel and upkeep of palaces, is to increase by more than £6m in 2018/19.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40412343

Queenie didn't mention this in her speech, most have slipped one's mind. 8% for the Queen, 1% for the plebs.

Seems this magic money tree that we don't have keeps on giving.....

DUP deputy leader shames Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Sturgeon after Tory deal criticism

DEMOCRATIC Unionist Party deputy leader Nigel Dodds embarrassed Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Sturgeon as he revealed talks with the Labour party and SNP took place after the last two general elections


To laughter in the House, he said: “We commit to transparency. We are fairly open to that and some day, I beg to think we might publish all of the correspondence and conversations we had in 2010 with the Labour front bench and in 2015 with the Labour front bench and indeed with the SNP as well.

I do Den, the least the Royals can do is to stick to the same percentage rises as Nurses and the rest of the public sector.

Nurse and public sector workers do deserve a pay rise given that their pay rise was 1% before and inflation is nearly 3% now so l don't disagree with your sentiments there.

And when we do leave the EU the question is where will that money go then? as l would not put much faith in it being used wisely that is for sure.
