whilst that is ongoing, business leaders have stepped to the institute of directors that confidence hasamatically, more so than after the outcome of the referendum to leave the eu, which is interesting. brexit secretary david davis told bbc radio that the uk will still continue with its plans to be out of the single market. what do you think the outcome will be for brexit? one of them actual things following results on the friday was that there would bea on the friday was that there would be a push for a softer, more managed brexit. we need the eu to agree to that, but a softer brexit is certainly on the cards. being within the customs union and having as much access to the single market as possible is obviously where we are going. the problem with being inside the customs union is you cannot strike new trade deals with other countries outside the eu, and the uk will still have to pay for the privilege of having that access. a softer brexit is now what is going to be called for, that's fairly obvious. in terms of the dup, they don't want a hard border between the north on the south of i

aboutwe've been reporting a survey done by the institute of directors. t over the weekend, 57% of businesses they surveyed were pessimistic about the prospects for the british economy. timecompares to 43% at the just after the june referendum last year. perhaps it shows just how pessimistic businesses are because of the hung parliament or perhaps it shows that the economy has worsened a bit and we've split down the rankings of gdp performance in the first quarter versus the rest of the g7. what are the prospects from here? do you see a more sluggish economy from here? manish: i would say that before this election happened, nobody even contemplated that there could be a possibility of a labour government. given that labour has done better than most expectations, if you are business, you have to start thinking about what is there in labour manifesto. if there is a new round of elections, you need to take that into account. that is going to temper the expectation for businesses. you will have some businesses getting worried about mr. corbyn's policies were h

the institute of directors polled its members over the weekend, and last week's election has had a clear drop in business confidence, as a direct result of what happened in the election. our members are feeling much less confident about the prospects for the uk economy and they're concerned about the potential impact on their own businesses, as well. it may be that the business voice gets wider audience in government, but with so much political uncertainty, even that prospect is not doing much to lift the gloom. simon jack, bbc news. we'll have more on the election result later in the programme. and tonight on bbc one at 8:30, you can see a panaroma special with nick robinson: election 2017 — what just happened ? it is 6:18pm. our top story this evening: theresa may has apologised to tory mps, saying "i got us into this mess and i will get us out of it". and still to come... we've heard from the politicians — but what about the people? we get tory grassroots reaction on the election. coming up in sportsday on bbc news — can pakistan recover from a stuttering start to their run chase, to

has been a dramatic drop in business confidence since the election result, according to the institute of directorsof 700 members suggested there was deep concern over the political uncertainty and its impact on the economy. here's our business editor simonjack. coming up fast, brexit negotiations are due to start next monday, but after the election result the direction of travel is more uncertain than ever, and businesses like aston martin are worried. it's almost the worst of all worlds, because you now have a hung parliament, where nothing can be taken as a given. let's understand the direction of travel, let's work between government and industry, let us understand where we're going to and we can adapt to the situation. that will allow us then to continue the investments that we're already planning. on friday, in the immediate aftermath of the election, business groups gathered here at the department for business, with a regular meeting with the secretary of state. the problem is, many of them feel that up to now their voice goes no further than this building, and are hoping that a weakened the

i saw a survey after the election from the institute of directors, which has seen 57% of business leaderser quite or very pessimistic about the future of their businesses in the uk today. to you, does that represent something of a crisis here in the uk in terms of where our economy is going to go as this brexit uncertainty continues? part of the uncertainty is do we have access to the single market, if we have it, what do we have access to? the problem here is that britain attract lots of business from abroad from transnational corporations. it does this because it has a flexible labour market, the english language, all of these advantages. people come to britain precisely because they want proper full access to the single market, ie, so they can sell to the whole of europe by building cars, for example, in britain. if it turns out these companies — japanese, american, whatever companies — if they have no access, risky access, they may go to germany, poland, wherever it might be. how do you read where we sit today? you are a much more loose adviser to hsbc now. not the chief adviser. they

a snap poll of 700 members of the institute of directors found a "dramatic drop" in confidence following way to resolve the political impasse quickly, the iod said. however, it found there was "no desire" for another election this year. and consumer spending has fallen over a i2—month period for the first time in nearly four years — according to the credit card provider, visa. its research appears to support suggestions that people are reining in their purchases as prices rise and wage growth stalls. the most popular targets for belt—tightening have included transport, clothing and household goods. ratings agency s&p has warned on the outlook for the uk following the election, echoing similar comments by its rival moody's. jean—michel six, s&p's chief economist for europe, the middle east and africa, said the inconclusive result meant that "for the time being, the outlook remains negative". moody's has said that the election result has heightened uncertainty and increased fiscal risks. a survey of employers said that the expected freedom of movement to continue after brexit. i7% expected

getting, because yesterday we we re are getting, because yesterday we were looking at the institute of directors said their confidence had fallen significantly following thursday's election. and many business leaders are really concerned about the outlook, even if it means the labour market may not be as tight as it would have been. it means the labour market may not be as tight as it would have beenlj be as tight as it would have been.” think everybody is concerned, i think everybody is concerned, i think that is right, and the business community equally so. but as we look forward to think through, we are going to get through the issues that we have a head of us, and we have to deal with what is here and now. at the moment, the economy looks strong, and we are going to have to be able to access the skills for the future — at all different levels of the economy and all different types of skills. so it is going to be important that flexibility and that pragmatism is introduced into this conversation. all right, james hick, thank you for joining us, managing director of manpower. heineken and punc

a poll of 700 members of the institute of directors suggests there's concern that the political uncertaintyonomy. but the organisation says there's no desire for another election this year. here's our economics correspondent andy verity. no industry needs to know more urgently than the car industry what brexit will mean, in detail. 80% of the cars here at aston martin's headquarters in warwickshire sold abroad. without free—trade, tariffs could be imposed, boosting the price of cars that go to europe and making them less competitive. aston martin had hoped the election would bring greater certainty about brexit. instead, it brought the opposite. that's naturally creates a degree of stress for us, a degree of worry. if you think about the typical car, a typical car requires about $1 billion of investment to create a car of this nature and you are making a ten year bet. when you are making a ten year bet. when you are making those big dollar bets, doing it in an environment when you don't know next week whether or not trade barriers will exist or notjust makes the whole thing more stressful.
