This interview is proof that even after such a terrible defeat Labour people still dont have any self awareness. Or understanding of the country outside London.

[phildobson]

To those who mistake British people for zombies who can be told what to vote for & have their vote blocked if not. We voted Leave, voted out roadblock MPs & *voted Boris in*

Remoaners, don´t panic. Brexit is not the end of the world. In 1993 Czechoslovakia split peacefully into Czech and Slovak republics. Both nations had much more in common than Brits with the EU.

[potatohead]

Congratulations to my UK cousins. Trump/Johnson will bring even more prosperity to both our countries than Regan/Thatcher.

The French people are also rioting in the streets against Macron who will have to go.
Liberals and Socialists are also on the decline in all of Europe, thanks to their mass immigration policies. Immigration was also a big factor in the British people voting Conservative.

Just exit! Take your 50 Billion Pounds and get on with it. The UK needs it more than the EU does!

[mikky]

Shockingly they haven't blamed this result on Russia.

[guharup]

Since when is big infrastructure left wing? Left is more about direct money transfer and right is more about creating long term opportunity through infrastructure. Forget Soviet Union, that was a special circumstance

[aloevera]

The EU won't be pinching Scotland thank you very

[theresag]

Tell the people how much healthcare actually cost.

I’m in the US and quite naïve about The UKs political system and I may be overstating the magnitude of this win but the way these results are being discussed it reminds me of the switch in US politics in the 70s and 80s where much of working class moved from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party, but that was mostly over social issues. Is this considered a seismic shift?

what a joke, the tune has certainly changed, fears of singapore on thames worried about competition, worried they wont have access to our waters, how the tune has changed, they thought they could bully the brits well they obviously havent studied their history, . thank god the brits had the backbone and strength of character, then again its in our dna.

[albertmcmullen]

Of course the European Union will except an extension, otherwise they will lose too much money, if the U.K. simply walks away. The European Union are not in a strong position following the general election. They have been cynical in their treatment of the U.K. government for the past three and a half years. Now they will need to be serious in negotiating on a more realistic bases.

[tomhall]

He addressed the people not the faith!

[aeroshack]

Id rather Singapore then Venezuela, Singapore has done very very well. Not a great example if trying to suggest a negative.

[gabbegubbe]

Ireland has 12.5% corporation tax ....no problem with EU ?? and for many years the Big Corporation paid close to 0 tax 😠

[abdullahhakan]

So, Britain and British citizens have lost billions of sterlings because of not telling any adverse sayings to newly settling European Union citizens in London and have been doing their businesses, shops and Londoners and British citizens have been loosing ground, many of their net worths and lands to those brilliant citizens becoming legal citizens, residents. Poland's cities and towns rent and sales prices of estates, apartments have become 4 fold increased compared to non EU neighboring countries after Poland had become EU country. Baltic countries real estate price and rent increases have been the same as Poland, at Himalaya mountaintops compared to pre EU accessions compared to Istanbul real estate prices. I have got Finland citizen, Indian citizen, Poland citizen prof. dr.s in Bilkent University Bachelor of Science Management Department in 1990-1994 and those prof. dr.s had proclaimed that ex communist countries were very degraded and wanted to reach Turkey's economic prowess stance and in wage issues to reach human rights levels in the world. Now those countries are like Germany, Austria, Slovenia standards in terms of living styles and economic prowesses. Just Bulgarians and Romanians haven't that kind of capabilities to cope with the economic advancements and on the frontier style governance of their citizens, motorways, highways and their cities, although Bulgarian medical doctor specialists and dentists have been working in Britain in their private clinics. There are 3 million unemployed British citizens in Britain for many years.
