They are going to get a ton of shit from Scotland and Wales over this. We have something called the Barnett formula, which is a way of providing funding for all countries in the UK based on a proportional population model. Scotland, Wales and even England should now be eligible for extra funding based on this deal, and I think it will probably run into the tens of billions if all countries got the funding. SNP will be arguing with Scottish Conservatives to get their funding, Plaid Cymru will not be happy in Wales and Labour will be hammering the Conservatives over cuts in England.
