AIBU to think this sums it up nicely and worry about what will happen with the DUP?

[user1471517623]

The Tories launched a general election to destroy Labour. They waged a campaign of fear against a campaign of hope. And they failed.

Now a disgraced Theresa May is trying to cling on to power with an alliance with the Democratic Unionist Party, the most extreme party in Parliament. They are anti-gay. They are anti-choice. They are climate change deniers. And they have a history of links to and sympathies for Northern Irish loyalist terrorism - after smearing Labour and Jeremy Corbyn over terrorism.

The Tories are themselves riddled with homophobes, opponents of women’s rights to choose, and climate change deniers. Now they’ll be strengthened with an alliance with the right-wing extremists of the DUP. This Coalition of Chaos and Hatred is a threat to all of us.

Spot on.

[SeaWitchly]

Yep, that seems to be about right.

[BubblesBuddy]

Yes but the Dup are not in power. They are not making laws and there is no proposal to change any laws on what you are talking about. JC smeared himself. Just stop taking scaremongering rubbish.

It sums it up very well if you're Owen Jones, who has made a name for himself as the voice of the youth wing of the hard left.

I'm neither a Conservative nor a fan of Theresa May. The election was a disaster for them. But, ultimately, the Conservative party won more seats and more votes than Labour did. If he could have persuaded the SNP and the LIb Dems to go along with him, then JC could have gone to see the Queen to form a government. He couldn't. If the Labour Party hadn't changed its own rules to mean that the membership held sway over the leadership (which suits Corbyn), then the PLP would have chosen a diffferent leader. Who might have won the election on the back of a more centrist manifesto.

BubblesBuddy 'JC smeared himself' are you actually serious?! One of many sources showing otherwise below. And the DUP are making deals behind closed doors with the current ruling party?!

Yawn!

Is that the lovely Owen Jones who tweeted on the night of the London Bridge attacks, after he knw about the bloodshed, that he was sitting in a London pub laughing and chatting and not being afraid?

And the same Owen Jones who tweeted (with venue and time) inviting people to turn up at the place Theresa May was visiting yesterday for the Grenfell fire disaster, telling them to come along and demand she resign? Nothing to do with the fire or the victims, and no worries about stopping TM from getting on with meeting whoever she was seeing, just a chance to make some nasty party political capital out of a disaster.

That Owen Jones? Lovely man.

JC has ploughed his own furrow with disreputable people from a wide variety of backgrounds and religions over many years. He's proud of it. It's now called being principled but he put himself in the firing line so has to take the flak. He's done it all by himself and people have a right to call him out on it.

[7Days]

Yes bubbley. And May and the Tories are doing that right now. They are the ones in power.
So why are you giving out about Corbyn and not May?

[cdtaylornats]

Why do you disregard the democratic vote of 292,000 NI voters?
