Ruth Davidson's drawn a line in the sand with regard to the DUP. She's told May she places LBGT rights
above the party.
It just gets better and better

You keep saying this but they have not said they are lifting the Ivory ban - its just you scaremongering. The 2015 manifesto said they would EXTEND the ban from where it is now to include all ivory. At present it is only legal to deal in ivory from before some date decades ago and that's how the law will remain

apparently there are 19 Gay and lesbian tory mp's in the commons so could be a real shit storm if they try anything about LGBT rights
You can't be forward looking when dealing with backwards attitudes, so this will go tits up sooner rather than later.

I doubt it. The Conservatives won't try to force anything about LGBT rights on NI and if there is anything about law changes on the mainland they'll just do it as a free vote (which they'd probably have to do anyway as there are too many neandethalls on the Tory backbenchers as it is)
The bigger problems are going to be within the Tory party itself as a couple of MP's can hold the whole legislative agenda to ransom.
I hope out of this we'll get a softer brexit but the likes of Peter Bone won't accept anything less than towing the UK out into the Atlantic and turning our back on the EU
