UK government's 'shabby deal' with DUP branded a threat to Good Friday Agreement

British Prime Minister Theresa May has been accused of jeopardising peace in the North, after reaching a £1bn deal with the DUP to prop up her minority Government.

The deal struck in 10 Downing Street after negotiations stretching 18 days since the June 8 General Election also saw the Conservatives formally ditch plans to abolish the triple-lock protection for state pensions and means-test the winter fuel payment during this Parliament.
