The dup seem to have no backing bar 21 crackpots who believe in the 7 tests,the council of 8,the feckin star chamber.
What now? Flaunt democracy more? Game is up and bar a small minority, the people of NI are delighted with the EU island of Ireland. |

DUP have no power, they are defunct.
Rishi knows he needs europe, he's instinctively a numbers man. I just hope the PSNI prove up to the job, Pa? |

Scotland will of course want their day too.
It's amazing what the conservatives have achieved.  |
|
By:
I think the PSNI will have to play ball,the shoe on the other foot.
I prefer to change one of your words though a great effort by all. It is amazing what the unionists have achieved |

I'm glad you get my point, I'm actually not wanting to say it out loud.
Tweedle dum and dee won't understand, or won't want to. No going back. |

They know deep down, when they are reusing the tea bag for the 6th time the Scots won't be too pleased,they wanted none of it.

I'm concerned about a reaction Pa, you know how they operate(Jamie).
Blame us for course. |

The ones they look up to with puppy dog eyes have given them a big phunt up the hole today.Not sense nor meaning to be going on a campaign when in brutal terms you're not wanted.

The PSNI , lol
‘ I am not an Ulsterman , but yesterday , the 1st July as I followed their amazing attack I felt that I would rather be an Ulsterman than anything else in the world . My pen cannot describe adequately the hundreds of heroic acts I witnessed ‘ Wilfred Spender |

Nothing happens in Ulster , unless the Unionists agree

By:
I'm not interested in history.
Today what matters is the union has never been weaker, the DUP are almost defunct, and a little Asian fella has delivered. |

By:
Family history is always interesting pd
Today ? here is the thing nothing can change , it matters not what the Prime Minister says , or the American president , or the EU , or any party in NI or the south Without the consent of the Unionists |

The pm doesn’t tell unionists in Ulster what to do
They tell him |

29 still acting the dog in the manger. When that paltry figure stacks up against the 515 who voted with the Government it highlights how little the UK is interested in Northern Ireland / the DUP .
The usual suspects among the 29 , including significantly the 2 previous incumbents of No 10 . Lets you see how out of touch they both were . Not just about Northern Ireland too as it happens . |

Scotlands independence was going to pave the way for a united Ireland.

Indeed, people in Britain would give their right arm for what the north of Ireland has.

We'll just have to wait on the DUP telling us what the next move is.
|
|
By:
? What am I missing? The DUP's rebellion came to nowt didn't it? The bill passed easily and is likely to cruise through the Lords.
|

By:
Are the DUP back in Stormont?
|
|
By:
exactly
|
|
By:
Who?
Time to start Unity planning,oh wait tis already started! |
|
By:
But what's the problem with Stormont and the protocol deal? Stormont's been boarded up for - what - five years? They've said something about voting against the protocol but it passed easily. Meanwhile Stormont remains closed.
Must obviously be annoying for the Irish but it must have been cloud cuckoo land for them to think there was going to be some new brexit deal that would be right up their alley and they'd bounce back into Stormont and declare everything open. Just wondering what power you think they have; how they're going to tell us what the next move is. Feels like they'll just carry on sitting on the sidelines like they've done for the last few years and meanwhile Ireland will adopt this new law and move on. |

Your head is firmly buried in the sand.

PP
'Belfast Telegraph,Rev Kyle Paisley and Lord Alderdice warn time is running out to restore Stormont' Think that is accurate enough and from their(dup) own,the UUP know the game is over and accept it. |
|
By:
Aka, tell me where I’m wrong then.
I don’t follow NI politics as closely as some so am happy to be corrected. I just don’t see the link between Stormont and this vote which has just passed handily without the DUP’s help. What am I not seeing? |
|
By:
It's a fair question, I'd like to hear his democratic reply too.
|
|
By:
Has been explained many times
Irish are incapable of listening |
|
By:
I think that porkie is just acting daft lfc.

By:
Is PP Irish, I didn't know.
|

By:
aka, I'm genuinely not. I've never bothered with the SNP thread as I pay no attention to Scottish politics, and apart from the basic headlines I'm not clued up on Northern Ireland either.
What is the DUP's position of power, where they will tell us (assume this is Westminster) what the next move is? Particularly after their revolt over this deal was shown to be fruitless. What do they have that makes them powerful? |
|
By:
There we see the problem with the mindset
of people like pineapple . The DUP achieve important and necessary changes to the protocol and he deems it fruitless There’s little or no point getting into the finer points of such a discussion. When even the straightforward basic things , which require no knowledge escape him |
|
By:
If you genuinely don't know you shouldn't be commenting on this thread.
I lived and worked in Northern Ireland and my wife is from there so I have more than a passing interest in their politics. |
|
By:
Aka ,Best to ignore someone such as that
You will be wasting your time |
|
By:
I'm asking a question ffs. Aka, stop running away. I'm genuinely interested to know what power it is they have. Cos, if you listen to the remainers they're a bit of a joke outfit who backed the wrong horse. I'd genuinely like to hear the other side.
|
|
By:
lol , can’t understand that it was the DUP that brought about
the necessary changes to the protocol and he thinks they have no power. |
