Lucille, Ivonne. Sadly probably true, the disadvantaged have always sunk into further depths under recent Conservative governments, but I guess we should give him a chance. He has recognised votes are "borrowed" from people in this traditional Labour strongholds he's borrowed, and next time he could be against someone such as Starker or Benn if he doesn't meet expectations. Interestingly, some commentators are saying we now will find out who the real Boris is, didn't voters know that yesterday! What they mean apparently is he's now got a large enough majority not to listen to JRM and his ERG group, so he can be less right wing and hard Brexit? His main prtonlem is, whilst he has a mandate in England and Wales he has seemingly lost Scotland and Northern Ireland to nationalists and pro Europeans. That will need careful handling, more than cleaver rhetoric from the Oxford Union.
