I don't get this, how can there be a deal if the PM won't sign it?

It'll be with the party not the PM. Presumably because he DUP doesn't think May will last all that long

it's an issue that's settled, and as such is "safe" - you can be as anti abortion as you like, poo poo ain't changing anywhere in the UK most likely and it's a great pitch at social conservative/catholic voters. i bet there are more then you'd guess

In 2008 there was an interesting litmus test when Nadine Dorries put forward a series of amendments to reduce the abortion limit to 12, then 16, then 20, then 22 weeks. Labour voting on this at each stage was:

12 weeks: 261 noes (+2 tellers), 17 ayes
16 weeks: 257 noes (+2 tellers), 19 ayes
20 weeks: 246 noes (+2 tellers), 43 ayes (+1 teller)
22 weeks: 237 noes (+2 tellers), 60 ayes

Both May and Brokenshire and a multitude of Tory backbenchers have openly criticised the current legacy provisions as being disproportionately focused on the armed forces - a bold faced lie by the way.

That sentiment extends across the aisle to a degree - Spellar, as part of the defence committee, backed a similar sentiment and Dan "wooden plank" Jarvis wrote several questions to Brokenshire in recent months questioning the wisdom of pursuing prosecutions of former armed forces personnel

As I've said before, anyone who doesn't back it gets kicked out of the party. There might be some uncomfortable debate on some amendments but a rebel on a confidence bill is shooting themselves in the head.

Only if the fuckers kick me out.

I can't apply for a residency or naturalisation thing, because despite having been here for 7 years, I have not had either private health insurance or full time employment for five consecutive years. No one told me when I arrived that as a student I'd need a private health provider in order to be eligible for citizenship, and I've been happily using the NHS since I arrived.

Immigration in this country is a bollocks.

the Comprehensive Sickness Insurance thing is actually an EU, not UK rule. blame them.
do you think the court case that NHS cover should count will be resolved before it's too late?

At least Switzerland isn't going to be leaving the travel area any time soon.

They can't afford to be kicking anyone out at the moment though. That's what makes this whole thing so unstable. May can't pull a three line whip on literally anything.

This Tory-DUP deal has not been done in the national interest, but in the interest of Theresa May and the Conservatives' own political survival.

Austerity has failed. Cuts to vital public services must be halted right across the UK, not just in Northern Ireland.

The government must immediately answer two questions:

Where is the money for the Tory-DUP deal coming from? And, will all parts of the UK receive the much needed additional funding that Northern Ireland will get as part of the deal?
