You may be better off waiting for the Queens speech and the first Budget before commenting.

i wish I had your confidence godsend...

Kerr, I know what you are saying about Boris not having to kow tow to the ERG now but he is one of the toff class which they represent so I think he still will...lets hope he doesn't. I can see the likes of Rees Mogg rubbing his hands with this victory.

[rolymiller]

Apologies, raging, for lumping you in. Not fair. But coming on here this morning, disappointed (as you know my hope was to severely limit the size of BJ's victory), angry with the Labour leadership I first hear Lavery saying Corbyn and the manifesto were popular and only Brexit to blame and then read Tweedle's nasty rubbish about "class traitors" and deluded "gullible" voters and fired both barrels. You were collateral damage which I regret. No hard feelings I hope.

Maybe a bit harsh from me oui of frustration Monty so I am happy to take those comments back. Lets just say ordinary folk have been fooled and will regret it in my opinion. They are up against a powerful media machine to be fair.

Boris needs a new car.
A 10 reg jag is just not good enough.

Good points Frank. Hope it is a good deal for trade and jobs overall

The EU have a worry that we become a Singapore-on- Thames with a light economy, it puts them at a disadvantage.
What jobs are you expecting pup ?
We have a distinct lack of Skilled / Semi Skilled, very few apprenticeships being created.
Boris has to deliver on domestic issues not only Brexit.
He's already stated no Tax, National Insurance, VAT rises in this present Parliament.
Let's see how much Javed has in the coffers or how much the Tories borrow before making rash judgements.

I'm lucky all my kids and son-in-laws are in good employment

I think its time now for everyone to accept we are ALL leavers as we exit the EU.

There is evidence better quality jobs are on the way as fintec spreads to the northern regions.

[rolymiller]

There is also evidence the yanks are gonna have the NHS but I can't get excited about that...

[rolymiller]

Labour would have walked this election had they gone into it offering significant increases in public spending as opposed to an endless confetti of spending promises, being honest about where the money was coming from, not promising ideologically driven nationalisations and with a leader who does not have a history of friendliness with terrorists organisations a record of inaction on antisemitism and of ambivalence towards NATO and our relationship with America, but they didn’t.

Dont agree but not going to revamp the debate. Collar pup for that. I truly believe it was a 1 issue election, Brexit. Secondary, was whether Corbyn is fit to govern (I know this question came up on the doorstep most).

If Labour had promised to deliver Brexit they'd have had an outside chance. Corbyn chose not to. That alone must ask serious questions of his leadership.

Agree Labour went too far on many promises. But, if theyd scaled back I doubt it would have changed the outcome.

The whiners are still whining I see.

Pathetic.
