SF the real winners in this… As you say, the DUP are snookered now - and their hardliners won’t be happy either way

I dunno about that. Maye will be clamouring around like Enda Kenny looking to do anything to secure power. If the DUP can make a serious push for a soft border and staying in the single market then the DUPs will be able to hold off a United Ireland vote for a bit longer.

Is there any point to the SDLPs or Ulster Unionists anymore?

That’s exactly the point. The DUP and Foster in particular were pro Brexit before yesterday.
They have had to do a 180 on it now.
I’m no Sinn Fein supporter but they do and they did have the cop on to push for a remain vote on Brexit . Like I said in one of my posts, SF could do worse than take up their seats in Westminster

I agree with that but Adams has already ruled it out.

The DUP can still be pro Brexit but make the push for the soft Brexit now. That would be a huge achievement for them which would be sad.

The DUP (if there is an arrangement with them and if that arrangement holds, which I doubt because there will now be civil war in the Conservative party) will push for a Brexit that will allow the status quo to remain as is on the island of Ireland which would be a very good days work for Eire

Meanwhile in Witney.

Nail on the head there. Such practical analysis is beyond the comprehension of the Pretend IRA.

They are an irrelevance in Westminster elections. 7 seats out of 648 and no influence as they childishly refuse to take their seats in parliament. As @iron_mike has correctly alluded to, what’s the big hang up about taking up their Westminster seats now? When IRA/SF surrendered militarily in 1998, they accepted the partition of the island of Ireland and Northern Ireland’s status as part of the United Kingdom.

Corbyn is an Irish Republican.

The tans are in disarray.

England has a bleak bleak future

[GeoffreyBoycott]

A bad night for the CUP under a clown of a leader (who will be dispensed with shortly) still translated into the second best CUP electoral performance in Westminster elections in 25 years.

Labour have posted their second worst performance in 8 elections since the nadir of the Michael Foot election in 1983.

Theresa May has been hoisted by her own petard.

[Smark]

Is she on at 10am to make a statement? Someone said that last night here.

[glasagusban]

Would they? I’d say they’d secretly love a border.

I suppose all that bears out is that Labour have been very strong electorally in the last 25 years and what a collection of chumps have led the Tories over the same period.

They might secretly love it but the bulk of their electorate won’t wear it.
