The DUP has agreed a deal to support the minority Conservative government at Westminster.

In return for the Northern Irish party's support the Conservatives have given Stormont an additional £1 billion of funding.

Conservative manifesto commitments to abandon the triple lock on pensions and reduce the number of people eligible for the winter fuel allowance have also been scrapped as part of the agreement.

The Prime Minister said her party and the DUP "share many values" and the deal was "a very good one".

Speaking inside Number 10, May said: "As we set out at the beginning of the talks, we share many values in terms of wanting to see prosperity across the UK, the value of the union, the important bond between the different parts of the United Kingdom.

"We very much want to see that protected and enhanced and we also share the desire to ensure a strong government, able to put through its programme and provide for issues like the Brexit negotiations, but also national security issues.

"So the agreement we have come to is a very, very good one, and look forward to working with you."

DUP leader Arlene Foster said: "We're delighted that we have reached this agreement, which I think works, obviously, for national stability.

"In terms of the Northern Ireland Executive, of course we are determined to see it back in place as soon as possible as well, because we believe we need a strong voice for Northern Ireland when dealing not least with the Brexit issue."
