Comments from DUP leader Arlene Foster
Here's the verbatim from Foster today:
"It's very simple - what it will take to get the DUP over the line is the fact that Northern Ireland is not left behind, the constitutional integrity of the UK is the same and we have a strong say in the future of the UK," she said.
"Brexit is two weeks away, as I've constantly said, when you come to end of a negotiation that's when you really start to see the whites in people's eyes and you get down to the point where you can make a deal."
That last point is the key one. They want to make a deal because it will preserve the Conservative government and their place as the swing voters in the coalition. At this point you would expect that they know the state of play and aren't asking for anything that's impossible.
Meanwhile, Conservatives will try to defeat all the motions in today's vote. if that's the aim, they need to show some unity and get it done.
