ed vaizey, yours is a different picture, to say the least.ave a constable majority. how do you reflect now on what happened to your party coverage individually, yours was a success story, party coverage individually, yours was a success story, but as a party, this was a disaster, do you accept that? yeah, i do, some optimali think is the phrase one could use, avoid using words like disaster! it is not a great result if to echo what sarah said, we did not know. i campaigned in lots of other seats, i campaigned in lots of other seats, i campaigned in lots of other seats, i campaigned in richmond, where zac goldsmith did get back in, but also in isleworth which i thought would go back to the conservatives, i did not detect anything on the ground, i campaigned in slough which we thought was in play, if you like, with an 8000 labour majority, but labour got back in with 16,000. we we re labour got back in with 16,000. we were not expecting this. to echo a slightly frivolous story which my wife told me that a friend of hers had gone to the polling

ed vaizey was close to david cameron, and campaigned to remain in the eu.oth her approach and her policies if she's to hold the party together. she will, i think, have to make sure that she takes us all with her. that it becomes a very inclusive government that reaches out to all wings of the party. and i hope as well that she will have read the tea leaves in terms of i think the message that voters sent us. and the message that i got loud and clear is that voters have rejected a hard brexit. we can't any more talk about no deal being better than a bad deal. the view that the nature of brexit will have to change is supported by the fact that the conservatives‘ new partners, the ten mps of the dup, want the uk to stay in the customs union, and want a frictionless border in northern ireland. so is this the end of what critics call a hard brexit? we've got to remember that labour lost this election. you know, when given the choice as to who should lead the country through the brexit negotiations, people, by a majority on the popular vote, chose for theresa may
