This result means that May probably has not got a mandate for a hard Brexit IE us leaving the single market and customs union so it remains to be seen what happens when negotiations start.

She had better hurry though she triggered article 50 quite some time ago . The clock is running down.
Well, most of us are suffering from austerity, but I'm afraid that's the only way we are going to pay down our debt.

If you max out on your credit cards, austerity in your household will be the name of the game for you, too.

Theresa May still has a mandate for a hard Brexit. For one thing, they remain the largest party in the Commons, and for another thing, Labour's manifesto also called for an end to free movement, so they stand for a hard Brexit, as well.

Don't be daft, he can't even lead his own party. He'd better make the most of his popularity, it will be short lived.

The majority of people in this country would never vote for a Marxist Prime Minister.
