Federation of small businesses, farmers, industry, food and drinks etc all telling the dup it’s a good deal for the north. Jeffrey Donaldson tells them they haven’t read it.

Jeffrey knows best.
I remember the dup keeping the conservatives in power by voting against the interests of the norn iron fishermen. At least old Paisley had the balls to go to Kilkeel and explain how he had to it for the sake of the union etc. Seamus Mallon stood up in Westminster and told them in no uncertain terms that “if you can be bought today you can be sold tomorrow”.
I’d say that was in the '80’s. It struck me at the time, and it’s as useful a piece of homespun philosophy as I can think of.

From comments in the times
LEAVER: I want an omelette.
REMAINER: Right. It’s just we haven’t got any eggs.
LEAVER: Yes, we have. There they are. [HE POINTS AT A CAKE]
REMAINER: They’re in the cake.
LEAVER: Yes, get them out of the cake, please.
REMAINER: But we voted in 1974 to put them into a cake.
LEAVER: Yes, but that cake has got icing on it. Nobody said there was going to be icing on it.
REMAINER: Icing is good.
LEAVER: And there are raisins in it. I don’t like raisins. Nobody mentioned raisins. I demand another vote.
DAVID CAMERON ENTERS.
DAVID CAMERON: OK.
DAVID CAMERON SCARPERS.
LEAVER: Right, where’s my omelette?
REMAINER: I told you, the eggs are in the cake.
LEAVER: Well, get them out.
EU: It’s our cake.
JEREMY CORBYN: Yes, get them out now.
REMAINER: I have absolutely no idea how to get them out. Don’t you know how to get them out?
LEAVER: Yes! You just get them out and then you make an omelette.
REMAINER: But how?! Didn’t you give this any thought?
LEAVER: Saboteur! You’re talking eggs down. We could make omelettes before the eggs went into the cake, so there’s no reason why we can’t make them now.
THERESA MAY: It’s OK, I can do it.
REMAINER: How?
THERESA MAY: There was a vote to remove the eggs from the cake, and so the eggs will be removed from the cake.
REMAINER: Yeah, but…
LEAVER: Hang on, if we take the eggs out of the cake, does that mean we don’t have any cake? I didn’t say I didn’t want the cake, just the bits I don’t like.
EU: It’s our cake.
REMAINER: But you can’t take the eggs out of the cake and then still have a cake.
LEAVER: You can. I saw the latest Bake Off and you can definitely make cakes without eggs in them. It’s just that they’re horrible.
REMAINER: Fine. Take the eggs out. See what happens.
LEAVER: It’s not my responsibility to take the eggs out. Get on with it.
REMAINER: Why should I have to come up with some long-winded incredibly difficult chemical process to extract eggs that have bonded at the molecular level to the cake, while somehow still having the cake?
LEAVER: You lost, get over it.
THERESA MAY: By the way, I’ve started the clock on this.
REMAINER: So I assume you have a plan?
THERESA MAY: Actually, back in a bit. Just having another election.
REMAINER: Jeremy, are you going to sort this out?
JEREMY CORBYN: Yes. No. Maybe.
EU: It’s our cake.
LEAVER: Where’s my omelette? I voted for an omelette.
REMAINER: This is ridiculous. This is never going to work. We should have another vote, or at least stop what we’re doing until we know how to get the eggs out of the cake while keeping the bits of the cake that we all like.
LEAVER/MAY/CORBYN: WE HAD A VOTE. STOP SABOTAGING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. EGGSIT MEANS EGGSIT.
REMAINER: Fine, I’m moving to France. The cakes are nicer there.
LEAVER: You can’t. We’ve taken your freedom of movement.

May’s best hope of getting this through is by telling the Brexiteers that if it doesn’t pass Remain would probably win the 2nd referendum. That’s the line The Daily Mail is taking. That paper is going on an all-out pro-May full frontal assault tonight.
I thought she had no chance until I saw the Daily Mail website tonight. Most of the conservative media is starting to gather behind her. If she survives next week maybe she has some chance of getting it through. But then she’s lost the DUP so she’s gone either way.
Of the 3 humiliating possibilities what’s the biggest humiliation for the U.K.?
- Brexit is defeated in a 2nd referendum
- Hard no-deal Brexit and disintegration of the U.K.
- They take the deal and disintegration of the U.K.
They’re fucked one way or another. Most humiliating is a second vote, which overturns Brexit amd then the EU either slap them with some sort of penalty or just snigger at them. Most damaging is hard no deal Brexit which destroys their economy (and a good portion of Ireland’s).
They won’t get rid of May. None of the conga line pf mediocrity want that job and she’s a handy fall guy.
The cake thing is brilliant.
