Politically Ireland is divided between the Republic and NI. Economically and socially they are one country. A closed border between them would destroy the NI economy in the short term.

That is simply nonsense. There are however substantial economic ties which are dependent on an invisible border.

That quote from Foster partly surprises me, but equally she is known for not being the most "stable"

Not surprised here. Politically the DUP have a hard line on the Union, but they also want NI to benefit from EU membership and they understand that the economy relies heavily on free trade and movement with the Republic. Many DUP voters support the Union but want the freedom to work and trade with in the Republic. Socially, Ireland as a whole has much less of a problem with the principle of free movement than England.

Not sure about the DUP not wanting a hard Brexit. Looking at the votes, the moderates have been kicked out of NI, it's pretty much hardline republicans and hardline unionists that have won.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the DUP (or at least their supporters) are keen on a very hard Brexit.

Arlene Foster, whose party has increased their presence in Westminster to 10 seats, have been muted as a potential partner to help Theresa May to remain in Number 10.

If the Conservatives can secure 316 seats or more, the DUP’s gains in Northern Ireland are enough to prop up Mrs May’s government bid.

However, the Prime Minister may have to make concessions on her desired Brexit, with Ms Foster keen for her Northern Ireland to remain in the single market and involved in the free movement area after the split.

She told Sky News: “No-one wants to see a ‘hard’ Brexit, what we want to see is a workable plan to leave the European Union, and that’s what the national vote was about – therefore we need to get on with that.

The EU will create a very long and complicated process that will go nowhere, and when the UK is exhausted gently push them into EFTA, where they'll be bound to EU regulations but can't do any harm.

Already talking on LBC about "brexit pause" and no more brexit means brexit

And I thought A50 had been triggered.....

[WTFH]

Here biggest allies in Westminster are going to be the DUP, but the last thing they want is a hard Brexit that results in a closed boarder with the Republic.

Brexit will still happen.

The change now is that May, if she hangs on long enough, will have to take a more moderate line in the negotiations.

May is humiliated in the eyes of the EU ... not sure how she'll manage to negotiate with them now with egg on her face!

Just imagine, she rocks up at the negotiations, day 1. Barnier asks "So, how's the stronger hand?"
