Did The Election Result Kill Hard Brexit?

[Gromit]

Both the DUP and the Scottish Conservatives favour a soft Brexit. The DUP want a soft border with the EU member ROI, and Ruth Davidson, a possible contender for May's job, wants a single market.

May's hard brexit stance is at odds with the people she is reliant on to keep her in power. WiLl she now have to soften the Brexit terms to placate her new friends?

Interesting piece on Ruth Davidson here.

As long as they like up to their acronym that'd be fine.

Imports/exports are not our wealth. The financial sector is the wealth of this country – something that Jeremy Corbyn with his antiquated notions of building a hammer and sickle manufacturing industry consistently fails to understand.

If we have to accept "freedom of movement" to get a deal then we will sink.

That's one of the red lines. Something that makes the whole effort, and courage, and turbulence to everything, to go, a waste of time. Concede that and a future government will have to renegotiate.
