‘Like 10 Donald Trumps’ – your 10-tweet guide to Theresa May’s new best friends, the DUP
So Theresa May has reached a deal with the Democratic Unionist Party in Northern Ireland to scrape together some sort of government.
Not to put a downer on anything, here’s your 10 tweet guide to the DUP.
The #DUP is stuffed with climate change deniers, homophobes and misogynists. May's alliance is a dishonourable coalition of chaos.

May June 7th: "Strong and stable leadership"
May June 8th: "I have found some bananas homophobes to help support my terrible party"— TechnicallyRon (@TechnicallyRon) June 9, 2017
The broken Tories are now dependent on an anti-gay, anti-women's rights party linked to Northern Irish extremists. Just sickening.

To be fair Theresa May warned of coalition of chaos propped up by extremist terrorist sympathisers. She just didn't say she'd be leading it.

On the up side for the Conservatives now, if they are allied with the DUP, nobody can accurately call them THE Nasty Party.

The DUP manifesto has been described as "basically just the bible, with fortnightly bin collections". https://t.co/NGRXixGfaM
