Conor Murphy, Sinn Féin MLA, said the British government would damage the 1998 Good Friday Agreement if it gets into an agreement with the DUP.

"It is concerning that the British government will put their own interests of staying in power ahead of what has been a 20, 25 year process of slowly and through difficult times, building peace and building understand and building a better future here in this part of Ireland," he said.

"It’s not that the peace itself would be put in jeopardy but certainly the attempt to restore the institutions and continue the political progress will certainly be put in jeopardy by an arrangement with the DUP and the British government."

Nelson McCausland, a former DUP member for North Belfast in the Northern Ireland Assembly, has said his party is "compassionate". He says they would not support extremes in austerity.

Mr McCausland defended the party's stance on issues such as abortion and homosexuality saying they were devolved issues and not something that would be coming up in Westminster.

Enough with the politics - we have work to do.

That is the message from a business lobby that wants its voice heard after an election campaign from which it had felt excluded.

Two reports out this morning show the level of frustration and anxiety business leaders feel at a messy and damaging political process.

The head of the Institute of Directors, Stephen Martin, warned of the "disastrous consequences" of the current political uncertainty, after a survey conducted since Friday found 57% of members pessimistic about its impact on their business.

A separate survey by the Harvard Kennedy School of Business - under the auspices of fellows Ed Balls, the former shadow chancellor, and Peter Sands, the former boss of Standard Chartered bank - shows that firms are sceptical that unfettered access to the UK's biggest export market, the EU, can easily be offset by trade relationships with new markets.

Nelson McCausland, former member of the Northern Ireland Assembly for the Democratic Unionist Party, says: "There are certainly differences [between the DUP and the Conservative Party.

"There are many, many things the parties would have in common… the DUP are what I would describe as a fairly compassionate party.

"Compassionate in that if you are looking at austerity, they would be a party that want to avoid extremes of austerity.

"So, for example, they would favour the retension of he triple lock on pensions, they favour the retention of winter fuel payments as a universal benefit, expressed concerned about dementia tax and so on.

"So in those ways it would not be a party that is entirely in line with the Conservatives on those issues."

Asked whether some people might not consider the party's stance on gay rights and abortion to be compassionate, he says the party's views are not so different from those help by some members of the Conservative Party at Westminster.

A meeting of the Conservative Party's influential backbench 1922 committee - in effect all Conservative backbenchers - has been brought forward by 24 hours to 17:00 BST on Monday.

This is not because of panic, but possibly as a way of suppressing it.

As one MP put it: "The wise heads will need to tell any hotheads to calm down."

The prime minister will meet her internal critics head on. Having phoned over the weekend candidates who were defeated in an election she didn't need to call, she will find that many of those who escaped that fate are cross.

In case you're wondering what the 1922 Committee is, here's our definition:

The 1922 Committee is made up of all Conservative backbench MPs, although frontbenchers, except the leader, can attend when the party is in opposition.

Its name is taken from the year in which the MPs who originally formed it were elected.

Its primary function is to keep the leadership of the party informed of the mood of Conservative backbenchers. The committee meets each week to discuss forthcoming parliamentary business.

The most important members of the 1922 Committee are the officers elected each year as members of its Executive Committee. The chairman of the executive is a very influential figure.

If a Conservative leader or other senior figure loses the support of the 1922 Committee then they could be in a particularly vulnerable position, as Conservative cabinets and shadow cabinets are normally expected to take the views of the committee very seriously.

The most important task that the head of the committee has is overseeing the election of the Tory party leader.

Theresa May will face tough questions later from her backbenchers after the Conservatives lost their majority at last week's election.

The 1922 committee is also expected to raise concerns about her leadership style, and press for more details on talks with the Democratic Unionists.

Mrs May hopes to strike a deal with the DUP to support her minority government.

There is now going to be a renewed tussle over the sort of Brexit we have because it’s clear the Remainers sense Mrs May’s enfeebled state as a moment to try and unpick her version of Brexit - to strip out the idea of a no-deal option, to revisit the possibility of being part of the single market, to maybe look at the Norway option.

And this isn’t an academic debate which is just going to be carried out in radio studios and newspapers - Mrs May is going to have to win votes in the House of Commons and a lot of them and quite soon.

Because not only does she have to get the Great Repeal Bill through - Jeremy Corbyn yesterday described that as history - she probably has to get through about half a dozen other pieces of legislation on areas – very, very sensitive areas – like immigration, the customs union.

And on those votes the Remainers believe they now have a majority.

So there is going to be a showdown in the commons in the foreseeable future, on a number of occasions, over Brexit, which the Remainers believe they can now defeat Mrs May on.
