mjw Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 .....The SNP should be embarrassed that even when they had 56 MP's they were to dogmatic and intransigent to work with Westminster and secure something similar for Scotland..... Aye the Tories were desperate for a confidence and supply arrangement after the last election. It would have went well with that majority they already had.Idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 So 0.3 billion would have given us 10k extra officers on street, yet the torys decide to give 1.5bil to the DUP.. utterly absurd. What's mundell and Davidson doing about this.. surely they are banging down the doors of number 10? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying the SNP could have developed a much more beneficial relationship with Westminster to the material benefit of ALL Scots and the whole of Scotland if they had not been populated by wankers like you intent of occupying the moral high ground and trying to foment National Mistrust between Scotland and rUK. Mistrust that doesn't exist as GE2017 proved. They had their chance and blew it. Scotland suffered.........Idiot. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 So, our country is now being run by a right-wing Tory government beholden to a bunch of homophobic, sexist, climate change deniers. Strong and stable indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTG_03 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Dry your eyes. If Labour were relying on the SNP to form a government, would they not also extract a "grubby" deal? Or would they be all altruistic, "No, Jeremy, of course we don't want permission to hold another independence referendum. More money? Perish the thought." I don't think the SNP would demand more money for Scotland. More powers? Certainly. More money? No. There's a huge difference. I'm dismayed at what is going on at Westminster and we are most certainly going down the wrong path. I only hope we can get out/turn around before things get too bad but that hope is fading. Regardless of opinion on independence there's no doubt whoever would be in charge of an indy Scotland would be a hell of a lot more competent than that clusterfu*k in London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A further £150 million will be spent on ultrafast broadband in the province. £200 million will go towards "transforming the health service" - despite a £22billion cutbacks programme across Britain. Schools and Hospitals in Northern Ireland will get £100 million to "address immediate pressures." A further £100 million will go to "target pockets of severe deprivation", despite continuing welfare cuts and the benefit freeze in Britain. And over five years, £50 million will be spent on mental health services, including tackling the lasting effect on people of the Troubles.

Take the cash to offset cuts in Scotland and bring the Tory government down whenever the f**k they felt like it. Would it have been that crazy an idea? Probably. Decent #scenes though.

LongTimeLurker Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, Donathan said: This parliament will last five years. It has to. The Tories and DUP both know an early election means Corbyn will be PM, something both parties deeply oppose, so another election is out the question. The only question is will May hold on for the term or will there be a Tory leadership contest with the winner automatically becoming PM Looking more and more like the first bit is probable, because the Tory/DUP vs the rest minus the balaclava wearers margin is too large to be undone easily by a series of by-elections. The DUP will want to milk holding the balance of power for all it's worth so confidence motions aren't going to be a problem. Think May has two years minimum because the probable leadership contenders will want her to carry the bag on Brexit and after that she'll be ditched if opinion poll numbers suggest that they would get a significant popularity boost by changing leaders. Even at that point though, how likely are they to go early if the polls start looking favourable for them again after what happened this time?
