Tee hee, Dimbleby saying top Tories like Boris and Phil are refusing to go on BBC. Plotting already? The plot thickens...literally and metaphorically!

I'm still loving the irony of Scotland keeping the Tories in power.

According to the Gruan, one of their preconditions is that Northern Ireland doesn't get any special treatment. Not quite sure what that'll mean.

edit: ah, they want free and open trade with Ireland. Interesting - that does suggest an EFTA style deal.

Forming a government with the Irish nutters, which apparently is now settled, wont do the Tories any good at all. Looks like desperation.
Yes, boogers, I too am finding the switch to the Tories in Scotland as very ironic. But Davies ain't no May poodle. I'm interested in what our Scot Nats here are making of all this, but I feel the Scots were just sick of the thought of another referendum and Sturgeon misjudged the mood of the electorate. But, as I said, I'm really interested in MW's Scottish voters' take.

I think this is bang on. There were double digit swings to the Tories and Labour in every single SNP seat. If the greens hadn't stood down, they'd probably have lost another 4 as well. Catastrophic miscalculation by Sturgeon.

What was SNP vote share in Scotland? That will tell you the independance result.

The final irony - after attacking Corbyn for terrorist sympathy they do a deal with the DUP #hypocrisyonstilts

I don't think it's at all the same thing as Corbyn's previous association and support for terrorist movements actively engaged in mass murder.

The DUP are thoroughly backwards ideologically, but they're democratically elected and peaceful.
