So TMay got her Queen’s Speech through the Commons with a majority of 14 thanks to the DUP and that probably reduces the immediate pressure on the PM.

Not really. Northern Ireland includes six of the nine Ulster counties, so the border follows county boundaries. As I understand it, if only the Protestant-majority counties had been included the region was thought to be too small to be viable, and Ulster as a whole apparently had a Catholic-majority at the time. Thus six counties as the largest area with a Protestant-majority. This would still be the same today, just about.
You can't just benefit one section of society with free stuff. It needs to be distributed fairly, ie no tuition fees for university students. Free childcare for working famillies. Free adult education, etc etc.
Everyone's a winner under Labour!
Can they climb back from it? No way. They will probably extend the policy to forgive all student debt.
As a progressive myself, this is all going to plan...
You should finally throw the towel in and join in the light!
We could afford it if we were not so penny pinching as a nation.

As an aside, I keep seeing these sanctimonious 'Tories voted against nice fluffy things thus they must be NASTY NASTY NASTY'. Doesn't it insult the intelligence of the intended audience, and miss the point that to win an election they need to get Tory switchers...
I need to come over and slap you with a wet fish! Do you want to be 30 going on 70?
A step up from calling them ugly mother-f****s though.
You may have been one of the sane Tories who voted to Remain but your party is taking the country down with them.
The Tory party - we'all put our interest ahead of the national interest every single time.
Can probably find "worthy" ones from all parliaments

Today's vote was on a Lab amendment.

While Carson and Craig's strengths were in Protestantanism, Carson's reach was much greater - he came from an old Southern family, had been MP for TCD for many years and served in the UK Cabinet before resigning to found the Ulster Unionists.
Carson was the Ruth Davidson of his day. Craig the Farage. Unfortunately Craig won out in the internal struggle, and the next 50 years are a stain on the Unionist soul.

This should make for an interesting and potentially useful case.
"I wrote to MPs and they basically shoved me off. Everybody you speak to it's like speaking to a brick wall."
She should name and shame the MPs.
I like what Mike did with 'just about managing' there.
The JAM government...
And Good Morning to the demi-pricks and sans-pricks as well.
It just shows the woman's desperation to get justice.
I would be more concerned with Vince, who may or may not have issues and. Jez, who may or may not be certifiable.
Are you serious? IMO male circumcision for religious reasons is child abuse.
And things often go wrong with circumcisions.
As a Jewish friend of mine at Uni said to me: "What the hell gave my parents the right to do that to me?"
Okkkay ...
You made the comparison with cutting toenails. That argument is just so patently ridiculous I'm amazed you're not ashamed to write it.
Circumcision is not easy. I might suggest you look at the following page (warning: NSFW and some images that may distress):

Can you show me similar injuries from toenail cutting?
(*) Ignoring obvious pun.
Whatever happened to the junior doctor dispute? Was there a settlement that the membership accepted or has it just fizzled out?
Given that it is estimated that demand on NHS services grows about 4% a year it is hardly surprising that there is a low level crisis. In fact I think that Hunt or the NHS generally has done remarkably well in coping as well as they have.
Compared to the lunacy of Lansley and the very considerable expense that his reforms incurred things have been allowed to carry on. Stress is inevitable and will increase but if the first rule of doctors is to do no harm then it broadly seems to me that Hunt has achieved that and a little bit more.
Mr Corbyn, from a sedentary position, appeared to mutter: ‘What a complete w*****.’

Davis would be a mistake. Hammond's clearly the chap to go for.
The consequent rotas are a nightmare to get working as extremely inflexible, and not good for continuity of patient care or for training and mentoring.
The dispute has caused the new Consultant contract to be delayed and significantly watered down.
Seriously, I expected better of you.

AA Gill was a seer...
Brexit is the fond belief that Britain is worse now than at some point in the foggy past where we achieved peak Blighty We listen to the Brexit lot talk about the trade deals they’re going to make with Europe after we leave, and the blithe insouciance that what they’re offering instead of EU membership is a divorce where you can still have sex with your ex. They reckon they can get out of the marriage, keep the house, not pay alimony, take the kids out of school, stop the in-laws going to the doctor, get strict with the visiting rights, but, you know, still get a shag at the weekend and, obviously, see other people on the side.
Really, that’s their best offer? That’s the plan? To swagger into Brussels with Union Jack pants on and say: “ ’Ello luv, you’re looking nice today. Would you like some?”

I find they do some excellent research on pretty dry topics like delivery units, how senior civil servants are appointed etc.
I really recommend their 'Ministers Reflect' series of interviews to politics geeks out there on what it's like to be a Minister.
You're a very bad man and should cleave off your todger in an appropriate mea culpa and send the offending member to the next PB drinks where it will served as a tasty morsel to the assembled court of public opinion.
As for the rest of the issues - again, parental consent was not there.
