Most military coups are done with a promise to restore democracy but they rarely do.

The interesting change of tone in the last week or so has been from the DUP. When the Tories were dependent on the confidence and supply arrangement the DUP held the balance of power but now that the government's majority is approaching minus 50 that stranglehold has gone.

Arlene Foster's recent statements have suggested much greater flexibility. She has realised that without a veto a deal might be done without her imput so she is playing the consent card with regards to Northern Ireland but not ruling out some sort of solution which involves the Irish Sea as a border in some way.

The delicious irony is that this means some sort of deal possibly now could be done but it is one that will outrage the ERG and the Brexit Party. Boris therefore might be in the embarrassing position of supporting a soft Brexit which fails to get through parliament meaning that everyone will hate him.
