Labour are complaining today that Northern Ireland should not get more funding than other parts of the UK and that May has given them a deal “to help her cling to powerâ€.
“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? This Tory-DUP deal is clearly not in the national interest but in May’s party’s interest to help her cling to power.â€
Almost gotta admire the hypocrisy…
In 2010 Gordon Brown wrote to the DUP seeking a deal to help him cling to power. He guaranteed money for Northern Ireland and implied Northern Ireland would need more cash than the rest of the UK:
In 2015 Labour under Miliband did the same.
You took the words right out of my mouth. They were never going to back in with the lib dems, green party were a waste of time with only 1 seat and who did that leave the stupid SNP, so they had no real choice
Ragwert's headline could of read, Both political leaders visited the scene of this tragedy, I agree that using this as a tool to promote JC is out of order. One spoke with the hero fire crews and the emergency services who risked their own lives etc while the other spoke with families of the victims, either way they should both be commended. It looks like Ragwert is on another point scoring exercise for his political friend, who incidentally still lost the GE.
This is one of the worse fire disasters ever with a huge loss of life, we should all be thinking about these people right now and how to prevent such a disaster happening again.

I really hope that you complain Colin, what an utter waste of tax payers money, the police should be concentrating their monitoring efforts on the extremists rather than innocent people who are simply reacting to a terrible murdering spree on London bridge.
This woman has the balls to speak out and her priority is the safety of her citizens which is exactly what the PM or President of any country should be doing in the first instance. Angela Merkel has a lot to answer for in my book.
It is a shame to see another business close but I tend to agree with the comments above. I have probably been in this store twice in the last 2-3 years and I remember thinking that the staff could not be bothered. We usually walk into town on a Sunday if the weather is dry and walk over the old bridge along King St and then along Broad St and recall discussing with other half about being surprised at this hi tech shop being closed on a Sunday, when most others are open.
From my understanding there is no minimum £100 fine. The important point, apparently completely missed, is that the new guidelines only apply if court proceedings are instituted.
The 36/30 example is ridiculous. 36/30 is a speed awareness course or otherwise a £100 fixed penalty and 3 points endorsement. 36/30 doesn't involve court proceedings and an income based fine - and it won't in future. The only reason 36/30 would go to court is if the accused didn't pay the £100 fixed penalty or wasn't eligible for a fixed penalty - because he has 9 or more points within 3 years of the latest offence.
The new guidelines are near identical to the existing guidelines - but only the highest category changes from Band B to Band C.
Drive at speeds up to and incuding 95/70 and the police will offer you the chance to pay a fixed penalty. Absolutely nothing to do with your income. The same applies to speeds up to and including 49/30. This is not changing.
