Finally, the british Prime Minister has a Working Majority to keep her in office but only thanks to a expensive deal with the Largest Party in Northern Ireland. The agreement signed today with the dup ensures that ten unionist mps will side with the government on confidence votes and on key brexit issues. But its not cheap.
