Q: It has been reported, from sources close the the DUP leader Arlene Foster, that they will withdraw support from the government unless there is a new leader.
May says she is aware of lots of reports.
Q: So you have still got their support?
Yes, says May.
Q: So will they back the deal?
May says she hopes to persuade all MPs to back the deal.
The Indy has a list of 18 who have publicly announced they have sent in letters and I would have thought that was more likely to be under than over the actual total.
Sky reporting that the whips are being called in as part of prep for it.
The Mail backing the deal is fairly consistent with their historic stance. The Mail on Sunday even backed Remain and the Mail itself wasn't as rabid in its editorials as you might have expected (except for that enemies for the people nonsense). It's the Express that's the proper nutjob paper on Brexit.
Farage is the only one in the party who can string a sentence together. All that needs to happen in order for him to be discredited further is for people to keep asking him why his children now have German passports.

The backlash against the Tory rebels has begun.
Fascinating to see the Dail Mail backing May's deal. Just shows what a change of editor does, Dacre must be absolutely fuming.

I think today is going to be quiet and then Monday is the make or brake with whatever cabals are incubating trying to grab support over the weekend
Rees Mogg looks a bit powerless this morning though

JRM as Tory leader might be enough to persuade me to emigrate without a job to go to.
Apparently the 1922 Committee only has 17 letters so still a long way to go. Surprised JRM hadn't sent his in months ago from what he's been saying.

If the DUP pull the plug on the confidence and support deal do we get our £ 1 billion quid back?

Christ.
18 is the "public" number. Many could have handed in in private, which they have.
They will easily reach 48.

I'm just glad I'm leaving the country for the next three years so hopefully it will all be worked out by the time I come back.

Since the Mail speaks for Tory England , some of these 'rebels' are on very thin ice
Any news of Duncan Smith?

Let them be fuelled. A very small price to pay.
