    Tories pay £1bn for the right to carry on saying there’s no money
    My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

      This, for me, has echoes of the Glazer takeover of Manchester United - we want to have control over you, so we'll promise paying your money to allow us to have that control.

      If the Tories had actually thought Northern Ireland needed an additional £1bn in investment (as some of the sad gits have come out saying now), then how come it wasn't in their manifesto, nor mentioned in their last 7 years in government? I'm no fan of Corbyn, but this sort of quasi-crooked rubbish is certainly going to make him seem pretty decent and straight talking in comparison.

        I do hope that DUP come good and reveal the deals offered to them by Labour in 2010 and 2015, plus the SNP in 2015.

          To be fair, I don't think an attempted bribe (or the suggestion that a bribe might be available in the right circumstances...) is much better than an actual bribe. On the other hand, that still doesn't make this £1bn anything other than the Tories making a bribe from the public purse.
