I think we managed to begin the start of a relationship. The result of the election in Britain deserves analysis. Some of what the Deputy has said is true, but there is also another part to it. In wealthy constituencies in London there was a big increase in the vote of the UK Labour Party. They are not people who want their properties to be confiscated or who want to pay higher taxes. Many in Britain are angry remainers, especially in the south east, and they are right to be angry. They decided to vote for the Labour Party,notwithstanding the economic policies of Jeremy Corbyn. That is part of the coalition he put together and it is an interesting part of the analysis that deserves more attention.
