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!
Luckily May rescued a few branches of the magic money tree from the enchanted tax evasion forest to grease the palms of the DUP with.
You can be sure they'll be back for more soon.

It's not being used wisely right now Den, how many times has the likes of Greece been bailed out?

You have other EU membership countries paying next to nothing and getting more back than it contributes, there is 18 countries that are being piggy backed, yet we and 9 other members get fleeced regardless.

They have opened the door to countries that offer nothing, but come with cap in hand when the going gets tough.

If you was in a club and you had members getting all the benefits you are, but they are not paying what you are, you would soon get pissed off.

l agree but when we are out of the EU don't take it as a gimme that it will be wisely used then Mick because in all likelihood it won't be.

Sigh... an old and tired argument....He did not promise, he was not in a position to offer it or act on it. 'Let's give' is a suggestion.

I saw what papa said about membership fee and I just thought watch someone quite pathetically throw the argument about the 'suggestion' of the 350 Million going to NHS and here we are.

Looking at some online info many of their core voters would be working l would imagine as would quite a few Conservative voters would be of the older vintage.

I trust it more in Tory hands than Labour's Dens and certainly not in the hands of McDonnell, the Marxist, terrorist honouring traitor and his communist pals, Corbyn and co.

l have no faith in either as at the end of the day its about what each individual thinks of their policies and whether they suit them.

atm the Conservatives are following Labours manifesto, not their own... Maybe Corbyn is in power behind the scenes and he's holding one the the strings on the Theresa puppet, DUP the other.......

Can't wait for some votes in Parliament, it's not like Tory backbenchers to be trouble. Some of the remainer Tories are threatening to join Labour on Brexit votes, it'd only take a few. I certainly think foxes can sleep easier I've put BBC Parliament down as one of my favourites, should be fun, much better than poxy Sky Atlantic anyway
