May brings back rival, aiming to unite party before Brexit

The last thing May has provided is 'stability and certainty'- she has upset the apple cart but still wants to sell her apples.

i wouldn't buy any......

Not nearly enough focus in the American press about what this ill-advised coalition could mean for Northern Ireland and sustaining their peace process. The Good Friday Agreement requires the UK to act as a neutral arbiter in NI. If the DUP hold the balance of power in Westminster, that is impossible. And that is critical at the moment because Stormont is currently in suspension, which means direct rule from London. Where the DUP would be in a position of considerable power. Is there any way Irish republicanists put up with that? Sinn Fein is already upset and Enda Kenny spoke out in concern today. This is not heading in a good direction.  

Thirty years of violence and bloodshed in NI, and Theresa May jeopardizes the GFA, which is not even two decades old, by getting into bed with a group endorsed by Ulster unionist paramilitary groups (read: terrorists) who don't believe in the GFA. Truly willing to wreck everything just to cling to power. Totally appalling.

lol. That joke of a man Michael Gove is back in the cabinet. It's clear evidence that Boris is now considered an enemy. This is the election that keeps on giving.

I think May is trying to bring all potential rivals into her cabinet so that they can all share the blame for her incompetence. I don't believe her plan will work.

I saw an interview with Gideon Osborne the other day ( this squealing fart of a man was slagging May off ) and the interviewer asked him about the speculation that he was going to return to politics and challenge for the Tory leadership. He said he wasn't but didn't ridicule the idea.

A return of one of the big beasts of Torysim? Do you hear the roar?

Ruth Davidson has been championed as a hero for increasing the Conservative foothold in Scotland. Why on earth is Boris being championed by the red tops and right wing press? He's an oaf.

There are also concerns about the potential impact of the proposed arrangement on Northern Ireland's peace agreement, which relies in part on London being an impartial arbiter between those, such as the DUP, who want the province to remain in the United Kingdom and those who want it to be part of Ireland.

That's putting it mildly. If you have any doubts about the DUP and their ilk, take a look at the triumphalist parade season that's just around the corner.

I wonder if the unity is strengthened by people like Maurice Mills?

Or will it lead to a legitimisation of sectarianism (the ugly disease which blights the 6 counties/NI and parts of Scotland)...

Gove!!!! Jesus, May has become really desperate.

If May had done something about illegal immigration when she was home secretary for all those years, I don't think as many people would have been frightened into backing Brexit in the first place.

If May is desperate enough to bring back the universally reviled Gove, then she IS finished.

BBah even Toryboy Cameron knew when it was time to check out after calling his insane referendum and then losing. The writing is on the wall for May and the tories.

IIf only Labour had credible leadership, they'd have won this election in a landslide. Get rid of the beard and the Care Bears and get the vile tories out of power.

May should appoint Farage as chief Brexit negotiator. Forget party lines, do it for the good of the country and its people. Farage will get the best deal or walk away on WTO terms, either way the UK is paying nothing more to the EU they have milked us for far too long.

Sure. What's one more bigot amongst many? And who better, than failed politician and former city boy, Farrage?

After all, Nigel was happy aligning himself with some very suspect types before

Farage is a political nobody. Lord Buckethead has more clout than he does.

Heh. Clagnut dumped on by bucket.

Nobody takes Farage seriously; we want people who know what they are doing in the negotiations, not clowns and blowhards. I hope that May's loss of her majority will force her to moderate her hard line approach to the negotiations. There is no longer a majority in parliament for a hard Brexit and I expect the UK will at a minimum remain in the EU customs union.

The reality behind the whole UK-EU exiting process, and the complex unravelling of an economic relationship that has arguably remained consistent since 1973 is contained within this updated document.

12 June 2017 - Briefing paper CBP-7886 - The UK's contribution to the EU Budget

Both parties can huff, puff and billow like big girls blouses, however when the dust settles the consequences and ramifications encompassing historic social philosophy, economic growth and security challenges these negotiations importance cannot be over overemphasized.

The scope of the negotiations present an opportunity to enact reform and redefine membership.

The future trading relationship , budgetary deliverables, and so called unrestricted rights of EU citizens living in Britain/reciprocal rights for UK nationals requires flexibility beyond shrill demands and political posturing.  

The EU commission and parliaments proposal to move or restrict/fragment the City of London regulatory ability to manage euro-clearing, and so arbitrarily imposing restrictive protectionist practices that could be interpreted as favoritism on the clearance of Euro swaps/instruments could provoke irreparable damage to issuance, investment, pension funding and the confidence that intermediaries will enforce creditor protection.

The domino effect will impact on the confidence that member states will able to meet there obligation to service there sovereign debts. The stakes have never been higher.
