It wasn't a well thought out move, it was a desperate attempt to keep power after she 🤬 up calling the election.Who'd of ever guessed that the DUP would end up being a thorn in the side of Teresa May's government?
When I say election in March I have a 60% chance on May not being the Tory leader standing.

Indeed they are. However, it's rather rich of certain Labour politicians to be making hay right now about how damaging the DUP deal is when - had they had the same plurality of seats but not majority - they would have made the same deal for the hope of some power. Give or take a few million. Indeed they tried to, in 2010.
Although they'll no doubt claim they'd have stomped on Brexit so it wouldn't be an issue...

No hard border, we're told. I might go and live in NI.

I see Chris Froome is in trouble for an 'adverse analytical finding', which appears to be a euphemism for 'failed drugs test'.

Seems she deleted the Tweet. The surprise of it all:

Was watching ITV News talking about Trump's nuclear button then the fire alarm went off and they had to evacuate the building Thankfully it was a false alarm. Tom Bradby cool as a cucumber, honestly I've never seen this happen before to a live news broadcast in the UK.

Haw, haw, haw! This is your clue to stock up on canned soup and potassium iodide; WW3 is at hand! Donald J. "thumbs" Trump is launching Twitter war on his arch nemesis Kim.

On a friend's recommendation, I watched 'Inside No. 9' on BBC iPlayer last night.. I can't believe I've never watched it before, not least as it is written by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton from 'The League of Gentlemen' - it was an absolute revelation.
The new series started on Tuesday and it would appear that the BBC have put the entire back catalogue (the first three series) on iPlayer for the next two weeks - so if you haven't seen it before, now is the time to check it out! I watched Series 3 and they were all brilliant, though 'The Devil of Christmas' is particularly dark. Two episodes, 'The Bill' and 'Diddle Diddle Dumpling' are especially great, not least because they are (seemingly) based on ridiculously simple ideas (the latter involves a man finding a shoe in the street and then trying to trace its owner). The amazing thing about the series is that each episode is completely stand-alone - the level of creativity involved is quite breath-taking.. the only common threads are Shearsmith and Pemberton themselves, their unique brand of dark humour, and the number 9.
