She surely can't be happy with it. Expect her to just make no comment at all. She has made a big play for the Orange vote in Scotland. Just goes to show you should be careful what you wish for.Are there any LGBT Conservative MPs?
Wait yes, Ruth Davidson
Could she derail this

19 apparently. So not good for them.
Davidson strikes me as the type savvy enough to understand compromise in government. I doubt she'll protest this. More likely she waits in the shadows until the next election.
Aye she's very savvy which is why she'll be careful becoming condemning it at all, but I don't imagine she'll be particularly happy.
yeah i know but i love getting the conspiracy nutjobs riled upRape Clause Ruth is not only a gay woman but marrying a Catholic. Double whammy.
MSP - she's in the Scottish Parliament, like Sturgeon.
At least 7 of them will stand up for the LGBT community right?
Imagine the absolute seethe and confusion of bigoted Tories up north right now who are simultaneously delighted at their success and appalled with Davidson's personal life.
You'd hope.
Well, no. Especially considering it's not a formal coalition. A Conservative MP is not going to vote against a Conservative government just because some people also voting for it have dodgy views on LGBT issues.
They share a party with some people like that after all.

Mmm, you might be right. Argh, what a poo

She posted this on Twitter earlier today.
Exactly, half of Conservative MPs voted against equal marriage so it's not like the DUP are hugely out of keeping with their own right.
Strikes me as washing her hands of DUP's social policy, but obviously supporting the coalition. Trying to avoid accusations of hypocrisy.
It's a really weird day after feeling.
Basically....everybody lost:
May lost serious face within her own party, lost the majority and lost any respect from the eu.
Corbyn did remarkably well but still lost the election.
Rape clause Ruth came out really well and then got rewarded by an allience with a party who hate her sexuality and her wife.
The nation as a whole lost because we are essentially inviting the DUP - who in my view are essentially bigotted twats into the running of the country.
And Ireland could potentially lose because there could be disruptions to the peace. Although this could be a stretch of my imagination, time will tell.
Sturgeon lost because indyref2 is dead, wtf else is her party going to campaign on.
Lib dems are lib dems, lets face it, nobody cares.
Ukip just lost.

Yes, they did. 9 billion if I recall.
Anyone who thinks the richest in our society can be taxed to a greater degree than they already are, which is the highest degree of total tax revenues (as a numver and a %) in modern hisotry... Is a fantasist.
May being pillored on Question Time. We all knew it, but she's dead. She's not respected in the eyes of the public at all now.
See post above.
Quote fail I see. feck it.
Basically, I know what the IFS said and see no reason to disagree with them. That wasn't the point I was making, more than original post I was replying cited debt increase as his reason to not vote Corbyn. Pointed out they had costed (albeit debatably to the tune of about 30%).

Hated by her party, and regarded as a bit of a weak joke by her opponents and the country as a whole. The Tories may be shiting it.
i think the people saying May can't resign right now becuase it would cause even more chaos are probably and unfortunately right.
any one watching question time?
The DUP are anti-line dancing.
Should be a rerun in Newcastle Under Lyme.
The winner only won by 30 votes and the area had issues with people not being able to vote.

No to joy!
i hate agreeing with a times reporter but Isabel Oakeshott is actually talking sense
Alistair Campbell's very effective whatever you think of him.
Surprised no one's called the government a coalition of May-os yet.
Don't particularly think it would make that much difference to what we now have.
how do you not have a hard border in northern Ireland if you end free movement?
How can you want a hard Brexit and a soft border? bizzare

I'm half-expecting Grayling to crack and just go on a massive tirade against May.
Going to see so much spin this week from tories
Grayling doesn't believe in hard and soft Brexit but does open and closed brexit
