It amounts to the same thing.

Not that it'll last long, anyway, once they come up with their list of
demands for supporting the Tories.


I don't believe that they will come up with an unacceptable list.

They know that trying to impose their nutty vies on abortion etc will never
wash so the only thing that they will want is more money for NI. There are
few general policies where they disagree with the Tories, though they wont
agree with most of the welfare reductions.

In the great scheme of things an extra billion or two a year for NI is
affordable, it just has to be requested/given in a non-partisan way or there
will be trouble.

If it weren't for the fact that it doesn't solve the problems with Brexit
negotiation, I could see a Tory/DUP agreement running (almost) to term.
