The most expensive bribe!!!
Seems the scumbag 'nasty party' are about to be disappointed yet again. Having paid £1 Bn to the DUP to support them in commons votes, the DUP are taking a more 'independent' line and supporting the Labour Party opposition - this will be the third time they have done so!!!http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7999251.html

Wrong yet again!!! - the scumbag 'nasty party's bribe to the DUP was not confined to Brexit issues but was meant to support the Government on all major issues.

The Conservatives are not seeking a formal coalition with the DUP but an agreement that the Northern Irish party would support them on “big issues” such as the economy and security, Michael Fallon has said.
If the DUP do, as they say they will, vote with the opposition on the issue of women's pension rights, this will cost the Government £Billions!!!

Under the “confidence and supply” deal, the DUP agreed to back the Conservatives only on finance bills, Brexit legislation and protecting “national security”.
In any case, this vote about the WASPI women and their state pensions isn't a normal binding vote but one to seek opinion only when the WASPI petition is debated. As the government have already said that they're not going to revisit the issue of women's state pensions, a vote, even if its opinion only, which goes against that decision will be highly embarrassing for the government.
We should also remember that no money has yet been paid out in respect of the DUP deal because the government can't do so without first getting approval from Parliament. And that might not be straightforward.
