I'll say it again, I was answering your point, which was solely about the money, until I pointed out the money is peanuts.
As it happens I agree with everything else. I was just answering the point about the money, which was the only point you made originally. I don't like it when the Daily Fail etc sensationalise things by mentioning an amount without putting it in context. You originally did the same.
this was my first post once the deal was signed:
'£1 billion it is costing us for the DUP to prop up the Tories after she threw away the Commons majority that was given to her for free. Two and a half weeks of negotiations which missed deadlines of the start of the EU negotiations and the Queens Speech and that is the outcome. Omni-shambles.'
I don't really see how stating the amount is sensationalising it. In the economics of the country as a whole it will not crash the economy but it is not an insignificant sum and there are plenty of policies in place based on much less financially than that.
I'm glad we can agree on the that for many reasons the deal and the way it has come about is poor quality politics but I don't really understand why you felt the need to belittle my input for daring to state the amount that had been agreed. At that point it was new information and sharing information is what we do on here.
