This was a Brexit-centric election above anything else. Corbyn's promises to help the marginalised communities of our nation fell on deaf ears whereas Boris was Brexit focused and it paid off. People simply care more about Brexit than anything else at the moment so I'm not surprised at the result. I hope once Brexit's said and done that we can truly move forward with the real issues that this nation faces.
I realise the point of an election is for people to vote in their own interests but I do wonder how different the results would've been had the people of this country thought a little more about the 'what ifs'. What if I or someone that I love becomes gravely ill under a Tory government in the next 5 years? What if I encounter financial hardship and have to rely on the state? What if a fridge in my tower block goes up in flames and I lose my home? What then? No one deserves to feel like they will be neglected or ignored by the people who run their country and should hold their best interests at heart. I think that's what bothers a lot of Labour supporters about the current state of affairs and this Tory government. |

People saying they are now worse off because conservatives are in power. It's up to YOU and YOUR lifestyle and whether you want to make changes or not in your life to become better off.

Drivel, everyone wants to make better of themselves and their lives, not everybody has the capability or the things necessary to be able to do so, I’m tired of this ‘its your fault you’re poor and needy, sort yourselves out you dossers’ it’s elitist bull**** used to try and justify continuously knocking the disadvantaged

I don't. And another thing. Having children is a LIFESTYLE choice. People moaning about benefits for their sprogs. If you can't afford them then don't have them. Or live with the consequences of living frugally. Why is the government and other people getting blamed for the lifestyle you have chosen

Also I love how people seem to think that it's so easy to just get a job.

It’s not always that simple. Yes for some people it can be, they can experience an episode of poverty episodically and have ways and means of getting their way out. Unfortunately for many they are born in a cycle of poverty, look it up, it’s not fiction it’s fact.

If you voted Tory, you oppose the NHS, you oppose public services and you oppose helping the vulnerable. You can lie and say otherwise but your actions speak louder than words.
Tories have been cutting funding for the NHS and public services since they took power in 2010 so by voting for them, you've okayed such measures. A Tory voter that claims to care about the NHS or public services is a liar. |

Bollox and you know it . Boris is gonna revive the NHS and the other services and the best part of all that will be seeing thousands of labour doubters squirming .. Edit I’ve just seen Richard Burgon being interviewed by Sophie Ridge on Sky News .. well she couldn’t interview him as appears to be a robot ( with some serious glitches ) . What a complete idiot .. Boris must be praying this chump is the next Labour leader Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Boris said he’d invest in the NHS before the election and he was even more determined to drastically improve things AFTER the win .... he could have simply kept quiet !! Boris has only been in charge a few weeks - it’s not his fault what’s happened in the past .. especially given the number of hospital cases has seemingly trebled over recent years ... classic demand outweighing supply .

Boris has said many things, all of them contradictory both before and after the election. He may as well have kept quiet given the non-information he's been providing.

Labour bankrupt the country, we had a deficit to repay, now with the good work of the Tories the country is in a much better position and Boris has promised to spend more on the NHS. Give him time. |

i think it is a tiny percentage of people across the political spectrum that oppose the NHS, that is just an incorrect statement. There are differing views on how it should be managed which is no great surprise given it's enormous size, but that in no way suggests people oppose it.
