Who exactly is going to oppose it? May has built a narrative where anyone opposing these ludicrous, far-reaching breaches of privacy is on the side of terrorists and paedophiles.

May was frightening when she was in the Home Office; as Prime Minister, the thought of what she is likely going to do is absoletely terrifying.

She also built up a narrative of strong and stable leadership against a terrorist sympathising coalition of chaos but, to quote Emily Thornberry, there we are.

> a terrorist sympathising coalition of chaos

Are you being sarcastic? I honestly can't tell!

What I'm saying is:

- she campaigned against a Labour "terrorist sympathising coalition of chaos"

- loses her majority

- forms a confidence and supply deal with the DUP, inherently less strong and stable than a coalition

- DUP has a horrific record on LGBT rights and abortion

- DUP is backed and has links to terrorist groups today (not just way back when like Sinn Fein)
