Exit Poll shows Boris with largest majority since Thatcher in 83

[BeElBeeBub]

Interesting take from Andrew Marr...

If it is true - and it is only an exit poll - that the so-called "red wall" has fallen, that changes the nature of the Conservative Party.



There will be lots and lots of new Tory MPs representing areas that depend on public services and like high spending on them.



It is also going to give Boris Johnson more freedom when it comes to Brexit.



And with all of those trade offs next year with the EU, he will be able to give more than he was intending to.



It probably means a slightly softer Brexit, which will leave Nigel Farage cross and the pro-Brexit ERG group cross.



But it has freed the PM to show us what the real Boris Johnson is like.

I would laugh like a drain if Johnson betrays the brexiters and goes for a velvety soft BrINO.



Still if you put your trust in a well documented liar what do you expect?



Don't forget, whatever brexit we get will be *exactly* what you voted for.
