A triumph for democracy and common sense
Why did the Tories win the Election? There are two reasons for this, the first being democracy. The people democratically decided to leave the EU, and MPs tried to override our decision. They would not accept the referendum result, so the people had to destroy the destroyers of democracy.
The second reason was Jeremy Corbyn. This man’s love of the
IRA and Hamas, coupled with his far-Left doctrine, was the greatest asset of the Tories. J. Moffatt, Stockport
The silent majority have roared and the roar will be heard across the globe. Democracy has won and it is great to be British again. Mick Ferrie, Mawnan Smith, Cornwall
Jeremy Corbyn has announced he will not fight another General Election as leader of the Labour Party. With Emily Thornberry, Diane Abbott and John McDonnell waiting in the wings, surely the Conservatives must be singing Things Can Only Get Better. Gerry Doyle, Liverpool
A priority for this new Government must be social care. Earlier this year, social services cut the hours of care I receive for my spinal problems, despite my conditions being chronic, irreversible and prone to further deterioration. The candidates made a lot of promises but who will actually do anything? Efrosyni Hobbs, Eltham
Certain lessons take a lifetime to learn. Some seem particularly pertinent in an age when the younger generation takes pleasure in demonstrating about anything and everything. Just because you believe in something does not make it true, and just because you don’t like someone doesn’t mean they are wrong. Alan Sharpe, Melton Mowbray
Last week, David Starkey said Jeremy Corbyn hasn’t changed his mind for 50 years. Nor his clothes, by the look of him. Amanda Yates, Newcastle upon Tyne
After a historically awful Election defeat caused by a manifesto that would take the country back 50 years economically, Jeremy
Corbyn said he hoped folk who liked Labour’s plans would join the party. The man is away with the fairies. Vincent Saunders, Troon, Ayrshire
Boris deserves full credit for achieving what so many said couldn’t be done. For the silent majority in Scotland it’s agony and ecstasy – for our ears will be bleeding for years to come listening to Ian Blackford and Nicola Sturgeon claiming to have a mandate for Indyref 2. Gordon Scott, Largs, Ayrshire
People who vote for the SNP are not necessarily supporters of independence. Even if we were to accept that each vote cast for the SNP was indicative of a desire for independence, more votes were cast for parties in favour of the Union. William Watt, Edinburgh
