In a vague and detail-free way, we've been told that Theresa would be paying a billion to NI to buy enough votes to prop up her weak and unstable government.
A concerned citizen has managed to find out the terms of the payment... and it hasn't actually been set up yet. It must be agreed by Parliament, and it hasn't been.
"To our great surprise, the government’s lawyers responded by making an extraordinary admission. “No additional funding contemplated by the agreement [with the DUP] has yet been made available and no timetable has been established for the provision of funding,” their letter said. “We have also explained that additional payments contemplated by the agreement will be authorised by parliament.”
We were stunned. At no time, either when May struck the deal with the DUP or since, had the government admitted it required prior parliamentary authorisation before taxpayers’ money could be handed over to Northern Ireland. By never disclosing this crucial detail, senior members of the government look very much as if they had intentionally misled parliament, the parliamentary Conservative party, the public and, quite possibly, their prospective partners, the DUP."

Is the country now run by buffoons full of bluster and empty promises? Do they know what they're doing? Is Theresa's bribe even legal?
