I think the non-Tory part of the 50% who voted Brexit and could be bothered to vote yesterday ditched Labour and UKIP and put their considerable weight behind the Tories who are cleverly basing their whole raison d'etre on Brexit toughness to maximise their votes.
It's a pity that as soon as we get an anti-war political leader who doesn't spin, lie or fiddle expenses and seems to care about people his chances are just about mashed by the Brexit issue.

Oh well - it's gonna be another 5 years of cuts to school budgets and nurses queuing up at food banks.
At least we'll be able to say we're strong and stable while we suffer.
I'm a bit disillusioned with the way everything is to be honest.

I think that was pretty obvious and that intention wasn't hidden. Ukip have done the job they were formed for and in all probability will fade away now - but you can be sure that a huge majority of them voted Tory to see out for them the job they took such a big part in I'm glad to say.
There is a lot going on at the moment and it can't all be dealt with at once as any sensible person will realise.

But the NHS funding and staffing doesn’t stop because of Brexit, neither does the housing crisis, the education system in meltdown, the tax breaks for millionaires and tax avoidance/evasion for big companies, the taking away of benefits from the disabled, the loosening of planning restrictions and environmental protection, the cutting and selling off of all our public services, the stripping away of employment rights and human rights. All of that continues under the Tories, yet you are prepared to accept all of that because.... Brexit.

In the coming election, we are voting for who is going to "deal with" all of that stuff over the next five years, not just whether David Davies is the best man to lead us out of Europe. You don't appear to mind what the Tory policies are on the rest of it, as long as they give you your Brexit "victory". Littlestone said he will be voting against his own conscience, because Brexit. Is that a good outcome?

The Tories caused Brexit, but apparently it means they don't need to "deal with" any of the rest of it because they need to be left alone to clear up the mess they have made. Is Brexit the only thing that matters?

Another five years of Tory government, publicly fighting the evil Eurocrats while privately dismantling the NHS, the welfare state, public services, workers' rights, human rights and the environment. I appreciate you don't rely on any of those things in your life, but millions do.
