Keith Wain: Unionism has never been in more capable hands.

George Connolly: How many member states are there that can’t come up with a solution, so you put it back on the UK? In business, there’s a thing called ‘brainstorming’ — not ‘brain-snoring’. It’s clear by the EU stance that you want the UK to remain, or you’re worried that others may follow if it’s an easy exit. Only the blinkered won’t see that.

The Commonwealth is bigger than Europe. The USA are not going to let the UK go down the tubes, either.

Anne McCloy: Parochial instincts are not appropriate at the international table.

Claire Sweet: May’s asking Arlene if she can get her on the list for a boiler.

Philip Walsh: And what about everyone else you are meant to represent?

Peter O’Reilly: If the Tories followed DUP policies in England, they would be out of power for a generation, so be careful of the voices you listen to.

Thomas Wright: Woman tells UK PM to trust her while pointing a political gun to her head.

Jim Booth: Or, translation: if you want to stay PM, do as I say, or I will bring down your government.

Jake Donnelly: No, she won’t. She does, Corbyn gets in and the DUP are finished.

Edward Lafferty: The DUP are finished anyway. All they’ve done is tell the nationalist community they aren’t welcome. The DUP will always see them a second-class citizens, unworthy of consideration as to the impact of the policies pursued by the party. In pursuing such a course, she swaps shortterm gain for a nationalist community that will welcome — and even seek — reunification.

Angela Corbett: Wouldn’t —and don’t—trust any of them.

Kieran Corr: IbetMayis thinking: “If only I had just spent 10 minutes reading up on the DUP before letting them in the door.”

Caroline Rice: Only 10 minutes? Gosh, she would need a bit longer to read the epic list of failures they’re responsible for.
