N Ireland: DUP urges critics to analyse deal before dismissing it

The leader of the DUP, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has told reporters at Stormont that loyalist critics of a deal which could see a return to power-sharing, should read it in detail before dismissing it.
It's expected that the UK government will release details of the deal over the next 24 hours.

Only time Jeffrey raised his voice this last few years was to lash out at his critics while stood in Westminster with his secret deal in his back pocket. His critics are "HIS" electorate who he has closed off and even had the PSNI/MI5 sweep his party meeting for bug and blocked their phone signals, now Sinn Fein, Alliance, UUP, the Media, Dublin and Westminster who only last week condemned the DUP are now signing his praises. As part of the DUP electorate the details of this deal are not accessible and as such we have had nothing to analyse other than Jeffery's pouch of 20 silver coins and it doesn't smell to good.

[@Dr-Shite-Kicker]

That paves the way to a United Ireland sure. It came very close of a direct rule with the Republic of Ireland. This is why we are seeing the DUP making a turn in returning to Stormont. Nothing to do with why they walked out and refused to take their seats for the last 2 years at all.

Spot on correct

[@LeMerch]

Anyone with any sense of the political and economic landscape can see a united ireland coming

[@hunsey]

Lets recall Rishi's boast about the Windsor frame work ( DUP bribe, just like May did ) The new deal is subject to the UK government implementing measures to tackle the very trade concerns that arose from Brexit, the major point being the border in the Irish Sea, Yes the very same border that Johnson and Frost assured the DUP, and the UK and Irish public live on TV numerous times would never happen, despite his own Government Trade Experts telling him the opposite, the deal if successful, it will end an almost-two-year boycott of Stormont

[@TryDiy]

It's never been about a post-Brexit deal the DUP just don't like the fact that they're not the largest party anymore.

[@hugolloyd940]

They just don't want to share power with SF that is it nothing else, they're only going back because there's an election shortly

The climb down of the DUP who boxed themselves in while everyone watched. The EU wont be conned in this deal. The British Government wont be conned in this deal. The conned are the Unionists who support the DUP. The Irish Sea border will remain in effect regardless of what the DUP manage to spin out of this deal. Northern Ireland was established as a gerrymandered (Apartheid) state and now that is over. Unionists should consider talking to their southern neighbors about their ALL island future because it’s evident to outsiders looking in that the UK does not want Northern Ireland.

Only 30% of Northern Irish people want to join Ireland according to opinion polls from Irish newspapers. The DUP is representing its voters who wish to be British. Maybe these nationalists would be better at proposing a solution that would help unite Ireland instead of insulting 70% of the population which includes a lot of Catholics.
