that is also what he said with regards to brighton, nothing has changed.—— with regard to brexit. regarding brexit, are we in a situation where the brexit that may in visit weeks ago is going to change. ultimately, this was a general election that was called, theresa may herself said, it was called to steady her mandate, to steady her hand in the forthcoming brexit negotiation. and essentially, that it was up to the voters that they backed her strong and stable leadership going into these negotiations and that would seem that the results would suggest otherwise. at michael fallon this morning said nothing has changed, but the government's vision of brexit has remained the same. but there are questions the conservative party as to whether that is sustainable. george osborne suggested today that if the dup and conservative entered into an arrangement, it is important to amend memo that the dup are pro—brexit but would call for no ha rd pro—brexit but would call for no hard border with the rest of ireland. that would be difficult to achieve in the event of no

in brighton, they voted heavily to remain.looking at is brighton pavilion, the seat of caroline lucas, she has a very strong personal vote in the city and she's expected to hold it, but it is worth remembering that this time she's competing with the same demographic for the same voters on same issues as a labour party on this time, so that is one to keep an eye on, on election night. the west midlands is a two—party affair — more so than most regions in the uk. but given the narrowing of the polls, what effect could this have on the vote? the bbc‘s midlands political editor is patrick burns and hejoins me now from birmingham. patrick. on that point, in the early stages of this campaign it is fair to say we saw the conservative ambitions sky—high. there are signs that activists on the ground were fanning out from the low hanging fruit, places like newcastle—under—lyme, walsall north, birmingham edgbaston, branching out to more ambitious targets. we have that perception of the narrowing of the opinion polls and i am hearing that
