Maybe the DUPe will use some of their £1.5bn to entice Dyson to build his cars in the UK. After all, NI has history in the automotive industry...
Harry Ferguson’s tractors (in England he worked with David Brown)
John Dunlop invented the pneumatic tyre in Belfast
And then there was DeLorean.Comment

As for who decides what happens with that money, should the assembly ever reconvene, there will be some debate but ultimately the majority will have their way for most of it.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by The_Equalizer View PostSo what will they spend it on? Are you suggesting that DUP voters only will receive the money?
Even if there were just 2 parties in Stormont and the DUP had 52% of the vote, they would not completely ignore and ridicule the other party who only had 48%. They would make some effort to work together for the betterment of the country.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Bombardier is a Canadian company - the CSeries jet is a Canadian designed and built jet. The wings are made in Belfast.
This isn't a UK-US dispute, this is a US-Canada dispute (Bombardier has built a superior aeroplane in competition with the Boeing 737, but Bombardier needed a rescue package from the Canadian government). The UK is involved because it is part of the supply chain.
As for free trade with the US, do we really want that? The UK already has a trade surplus with the US, the US will only give us an FTC if it helps them narrow that gap.Taking a break from contractingComment
