Johnson has won the u. K. s bricks and general election having roundly defeated the Opposition Labor Party you have to go back to the 1980 s. To get a conservative majority this big the Labor Party LeaderJeremy Colvin has now said he will step down so what does all that mean for the brics it and can Boris JohnsonPrime Minister deliver on his promise to get rexs done this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the special inside story coming to you today from westminster here in Central LondonBoris Johnson knew he had to win and win big and win big he did the Labor Party Led by Jeremy Corbyn only had to get enough seats to form some sort of loose coalition with the Scottish Nationalist Party up in edinburgh they didnt even get close to managing that so Jeremy Colvin has now said he will go hell probably hang around however until april but Boris Johnson says he can deliver on bracks at that process in theory can and should he says kick off straight away with bricks it beginning to happen in january with a trade deal in the can done and dusted by the summer time his critics say thats impossible well get to our guest in just a moment but 1st rory chalons sets up discussion. After his election triumph Boris Johnson forms the formalities of power in this country cleared streets expensive cars and a Police Escort to Buckingham PalaceQueen Elizabeth the 2nd has asked him to form the u. K. Next government the conservatives have secured their biggest majority since 1987 johnson and his supporters are jubilant was somebody everybody got things when we did it we did it was we had pulled it off in a way we pulled it off we break the deadlock we ended the gridlock we smashed the roadblock and with this mandate and this majority we will at last be able to do what was paying attention. Hes very aware that this victory wouldnt have happened without many labor voters swapping sides your hand may have quivered over the ballot paper as before you put your cross in the conservative box and you may intend to return to labor next time around and if that is the case i am humbled that you have put your trust in me from the moment the exit poll predicted an unexpectedly large swing to the conservatives the tie flowed in johnsons favor thanks live valley in Northern England became the 1st labor seat to fold the conservatives won there for the 1st time since 1950 was the trickle became a torrent of working class former industrial heartland seats turning conservative blue. Thank you very much labor figures look stunned at the catastrophe engulfing them the to jeremy called in his bowing to the inevitable he will not be in charge for much longer i will not lead the party in any future general Election Campaign i will discuss with our party. To ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take Going Forward its been a bad night for the pro remain liberal democrats to their leader Joseph Wilson unseated by the Scottish National party in her constituency for millions of people in our country. These results will bring dread and dismay. And people are looking for hope. But some commentators worry about the tactics employed by the conservatives in this campaign Boris Johnson used all the tricks in the book and i guess its what i worry that every future Political Party will say thats the way to do it if you want to win and that actually over time will undermine our democracy and our ability to actually discuss big issues labor must now go through a period of deep and painful selfanalysis corporatism is being tested twice and its failed twice johnsons victory means the u. K. Will almost certainly leave the e. U. By january 31st you can get breaks but what kind of breaks in reality it is barely begun. Johnson Withdrawal Agreement has a clear path repugnant but unless the threat of a no deal brechts it is to return he has to secure an e. U. Trade deal before the brics it transition period finishes in a year trade deals that big usually take many times as long. Now does era london. Ok there we are here we go lets get the thoughts of those guests joining us here in london kevin craig hes the Media Advisor and donor to the u. K. Labor party. Founder of trafalgar strategy and former director of communications for the u. K. Conservative party and in Staffordshire Gemma loons shes a Teaching Fellow of comparative politics a Key University a warm welcome to you all just coming to you 1st Boris Johnson called working people in this country drunks criminals and feckless they voted for him. Whats going on i think what youve seen in the short term is a fundamental realignment in british politics and i think what was striking from this election when it took on a lot more president ial time and it was a 2 party race you saw the challenger parties fall apart and in it to some extent in very different ways you can draw parallels with donald trump Boris Johnson donald trump very disruptive. The titians theyve ripped up the political playbook and the normal conventions went out the window during this election you know just look at it in the way he dealt with the media bypass some of the main interviews went straight to market using things like Facebook Twitter instagram and was incredibly effective also the what people need to understand is all for the 2017 election there was this narrative that kind of developed that cool in one we didnt win you know and if you didnt win then why was he going to win this time you know its like people dont want egg and chips dont try and serve the morrigan ship so i think fundamentally its that i think the question often boris is obviously he has been given this mandate but what do you do in terms of a domestic agenda which has been sorely lacking over the past 3 or 4 years kevin what does it say about bricks it and what happens with bricks of that this kind of very simple message make America Great again get breaks it done gets you back into number 10. Well the simple message is work and labor didnt have a message or a lead could compete with what boris put forward i am still staggered this morning a Prime Minister who ran into a fridge when he was asked to answer questions by journalists who snatched a mobile phone because he didnt like the pictures he was being shown of hospital wards has been reelected with such a mandate but you know theres no getting round this labor couldnt handle the bricks a challenge where labor did really well i mean i saw Amazing Campaign scenes yesterday in london its because it was remain territory with clear room a messages but in the midlands and up north it just people were still they they wanted their vote in the referendum process respected and we didnt have an answer to that and on top of that it has to be said Jeremy Corbyn a very decent man whos done many good things in his life but people werent convinced by him and we got found out in too many. Areas gemma looms up there in staffordshire what does this say and what does it do to bricks it in terms of bricks it means that we finally have a little bit of service and say it means that Boris Johnson finally has a sizeable working majority that he can use to ensure that his withdrawal deal gets through parliament before the 31st of january 2020 deadline and theres also another point that the brics issue as well that sports johnson now has a united party behind him every single one of the conservative candidates in this election promise to vote for Boris Johnsons withdrawal if they were elected to parliament so Boris Johnson is dealing with a very different conservative party in a very Different Parliament now and he will make good on his promise of getting brick sit down and at least ensure that britain leaves the European Union by the 31st of january if that means that the end of the transition period and Boris Johnson will have to negotiate with the e. U. In terms of securing a trade deal before the end he said between t 20 otherwise they d could still be a no jailbreaks at the end of that as charles what does it tell us about Boris JohnsonPrime Minister and also Boris Johnson politician because europe as an issue for Margaret Thatcher did for john major did for David CameronDavid Cameron said if i lose the referendum i wont resign as Prime Minister but he resigned as Prime Minister is that i wont resign as an m. P. He went as an m. P. As well but Boris Johnson kind of sucked at some d. N. A. From the bracks it party injected himself and has turned the tory party into the bracks it party lite maybe it was and hes got a strong mandate now if it in terms of negotiating with europe is kevin said what was coming up and also people just get this done we want you know of vote to be respected for boris now theyre really hard work begins to be just talked about there about a trade deal i mean trying to get a trade deal in a year would be unprecedented the e. U. Canada deal took 7 years so you have to really blow it up with the e. U. But this does strengthen his negotiating how we need to go in our News Conference and crucially now is they need to get the right people on board for this trade deal that someone like Stephen Harper the former canadian Prime Minister has been talking to him about getting him on board hes go. The expertise that bound with the knowledge doesnt exist in whitehall and so you need it how do you deal with the e. U. What youve seen so far as negotiations is when it is very protracted they way down hes going to have to go in with a shock and awe strategy try and get this over the line who do the corba knights blame next because they will wont they thats what labor does in this kind of situation well i think labor has to make real its pledge to have a period of reflection this is so im almost struggling for words right the worst result for the labor party since the 1930 s. Seats that said shield tony blairs former seat going over to the conservatives daryn this is just seismically bad and i think the labor party needs to take time about what happens next because you know we mustnt normalize whats just happened in the way that giles is just talking there Boris Johnson you know has managed to get this mandate we dont even know how many children the Prime Minister has got right these campaign is at a load of money from all sorts of sources across the world and yet somehow as charles has said they won now what does that say about where we are as a country how bad was our overall offering as labor that we couldnt be that i mean really so its good its someone called it this morning who i respect in london politics labors existential crisis and thats where we are and i think it will take at least 2 cycles for them to get back into power i dont think there are a very brief i thought a great in your opinion very briefly 20 seconds in a situation where the next good in inverted commas and im not editorializing or being political the next good labor m. P. Who becomes a labor Prime Minister maybe isnt even in westminster at the moment yeah absolutely i dont know where you are i think boris is going to you know is going to find that actually governing and getting this right and dealing with the fact that around this country youve got so many new conservative m. P. s. Who are representing areas full of People Living on the breadline in poverty you know and having to deal with the social consequences of his policies i think hes going to run into trouble but we have to wait and see right gemma can you help us unpack some of the numbers if we get a little bit granular what we know about the vote so far i mean there are still one or 2 late comers to come when it comes to the actual constituencies and who theyre returning but the votes for remain parties across the constituencies that we have to date come down to 52 percent the votes for leave parties come down to 48 percent youre smiling you know where im going in the televised debate it was 5248 for Boris Johnson versus Jeremy Corbyn 3 in a bit years ago it was 5248 what is it with those numbers and the british political scene that we come down to this kind of. Quite honestly wishy washy way of doing things its always roughly 5050. I think it just shows that were still one credibly divided country and were not only divided over bricks that were divided over of cultural and identity issues now and thats one of the key features of this realignment the gels mentioned that it may only be a short term realignment but weve seen a significant shift in terms of the traditional patterns of british politics this election traditionally we know labor party the working class the conservatives are traditionally the party of the middle class but we saw polling data leading up to this election that was showing the conservatives consistently around 15 Percentage Points ahead of labor in terms of their share of the working class vote so we knew that this sort of breaking down of the redwall across the north wales across the midlands across the north of england was coming we werent entirely sure if it was going to translate into a large majority for Boris Johnson but we certainly knew that the conservatives are making significant inroads into previous labor heartlands so it does signify a really significant realignment in terms of the way that british politics works but were still very very divided the realigned now isnt necessarily in terms of economics its war in terms of values and the supporters in the north of england really feel as if the labor party no longer shares their working class values their party the big cities their metropolitan their support base is largely down in london now and the party just simply doesnt share their values the conservatives meanwhile with their values of trying to limit immigration strong or in Order National security or to nationalist rhetoric is a Perfect Match for a lot of the traditional labor heartlands but also just we were being told giles that this was going to be the election of the woke generation younger people female people of color they were the socially engaged they got high of social media platform people see rates and yet that didnt happen either you cant say if you break down the demographics you can say this was a Young Persons election no i dont know what the exact term out was for some young people both sorry that didnt didnt. Materialize at all. I think it has been astonishing in terms of what you see and i think is that its a Constant Campaign what i mean by that is the news cycles just keep moving faster and faster and faster so every time you more of that one part you know i thought couple times tories had a couple of moments where like they could come unstuck the news cycle just take over and i think it is this constant state of campaigning thats also why the microtargeting of using facebook is more and more important because if something is correct for a couple of hours. That passed the narrative as far as Boris Johnson is concerned and youll go in mr corbyn couldnt keep up because to pick up on your idea about trump Boris Johnson does that very thing of oh its 6 am were going to hit them with this when the push that weve got somebody on the program theyre going to do blah blah blah and then move on to the next photo op well i actually think that labor we could debate that this order i think labor actually had a very good Digital Campaign but if you look at the seats where labor really run into trouble its a good point giles fight about turnout as an as a broad example youre looking at these some of these mid lins northern ca 62 percent turnout 65 percent large numbers of people go missing in the seats where labor had really good results in london where sort of the results last night were generations of new young dynamic you know black female m. P. s turnout 7576 percent and thats the issue the i think that labor had a very good digital game but i think that went over the heads of a lot of the people in west brom e. G. East where course we didnt help ourselves by selecting terrible candidates but you know we we missed this this th
