It looks a lot better than I thought it would be, I’m a hard brexiteer and it’s enough to make me happy and move on. Hopefully the hard remainers will think the same and we can all move on from brexit at last.

What pleases me the most is that it seems our own parliament, politicians and courts are back where they should be - at the top of the tree. Everyone’s accountable to the British public again

It’s pretty amazing what he’s achieved outside of parliament. Most prime ministers would have struggled to get us out of the EU with all the power of a government behind him, but he’s done it with his nose pressed up against the outside window.

It wasn’t so long ago, under President Obama, that the french government complained the US were listening in to millions of their private citizens’ phone calls... the same time that Angela Merkel caught them tapping into her mobile phone.

Councils sit on far too much of our money. I remember thinking this when Kent council wanted to withdraw that 250 million from Neil Woodford’s fund. How are they in a position to make a long-term investment of 250 million quid? We’ve coughed up that money and they’re just sitting on it. Any money above a certain amount that doesn’t get spent by the council should be returned to the residents.

I'd actually quite like a good Labour leader this time, even if they end up giving the Tories a hard time.

Wouldn't it be good if we could get back to serious politics again, with serious debate, without all the paper barbs that get chucked across the chamber. MPs these days seem to think their opponents are just baddies in a pantomime, and there to be booed at. It's just overblown rhetoric all the time, it's never-ending, "Iain Duncan Smith is a murderer!", "the Tories killed them in Grenfell!"... people don't open their mouths in shock and horror at that nonsense anymore, they just roll their eyes and ignore it.

Let's have a proper politician on the other bench who says some worthwhile things, instead of one who just spends their time throwing down soundbite scraps to the never-satisfied mob on twitter.

Nice article but it was still a close-run thing. I’ll never understand why the remainers agreed to hold the election when they did. I’m a diehard brexiteer and even I was losing faith. I thought they had it all stitched up. They had Boris on the ropes, parliament in their power, then they agreed to that election and basically lost every advantage they had overnight.
Not that I’m complaining!

Some of the comments on here and elsewhere are frankly funny, about how ringing a few bells might upset the remainers. ... no bells, no bank holidays, no special 50ps, no peerage for Nigel Farage... no outward sign of celebration at all because it’s a national disaster!

The correct time for them to talk about “bringing the country together” was in 2016, before they spent three years trying every trick in the book to frustrate and reverse a democratic vote which they lost

The problem is that most of the public out there haven’t got a clue what ‘one nation conservatism’ even means. They’d probably just guess that it had something to do with keeping the Union together.
That was the beauty of ‘take back control’ and ‘get Brexit done’. They need to get Dominic Cummings working on some new branding.

Handing over control to parliament is what got us into trouble last year. I wouldn’t mind the Tories keeping a tight grip on it for the next year at least, until it’s all sorted out.
