Repeating an incorrect theory does not make it right. Hard Brexit and austerity were the key factors in helping the Conservatives fail to win a majority. The social care policy may have upset her campaign but the two are not the same.

A hard Brexit with agreements not to impose tariffs would surely be the better outcome economically than staying in the common market.

l think far more was at work in this election then that OB as there were 3 to 4 factors at work leading up to the final result of this election.

One thing I will say about social care is this working in the NHS I see loads of patients come through that need social care packages that cost a fortune.

The peoples families don't want houses sold to fund it fair enough.

And neither do people want to pay more tax to fund it , caller after caller in the election phone ins to LBC said just that.

They were right to tackle social care as lots of people want it but nobody seemingly wants to pay.

A Exit with an agreement not to impose tariffs would be something no other country has negotiated thus far,even Norway and Switzerland whilst not being EU members have to pay into the pot for the EU access they get.

I see Remoaning is still alive and well and grasping at straws

As a remoaner I am reminded of a saying.

Ha ha.

I really don't know what kind of Brexit we'll get. Mick correctly predicted Brexit, Trump and a hung Parliament so I will be keeping an eager eye out for his prediction on this.

To be absolutely honest I think its way too early for any prediction.!

But Mick might make a good one based on his past form.

l am no remoaner and never have been as l accepted the will of democracy with Brexit and the referendum so one has to accept the will of the electorate again which you perhaps should try sometimes.

He seems to have gone rather quiet these past few days so perhaps he is still counting his winnings from the election.

Only if the bird in the hand is not left bereft of food.

What you have to remember , is this Nissan have only agreed to build one more line of cars in their sunderland plant prior to Brexit and only then reportedly after a government bung , Honda likewise.

Many of our infrastructure is paid for by us and the profits go abroad ,

For instance our water company is French owned, google to see how many of our utilities are European owned ,as well as those operating our national railway.

In short we want our country back but we still want you to run our services for us.

So if brexit goes belly up and we get a bad deal how do you think investment will go.?

As I have already pointed out those that get it wrong will go into hiding if all goes t-ts up.

Will be interesting to see how the Conservative Party responds to this demand.

DUP insists on ‘soft’ Brexit in return for supporting Tories
The Democratic Unionist party is insisting on a “soft” Brexit and greater investment in Northern Ireland in return for its support of a minority Conservative government.
Ahead of a fresh round of talks between the DUP and the Tories in London on Tuesday, senior DUP figures have told their Conservative counterparts that while they continue to support the UK’s exit from the EU, they want to minimise the impact on Northern Ireland and the province’s relationship with the Republic of Ireland, according to people familiar with the DUP’s approach to the talks.
