  • It's still the economy. People voted to alleviate the pain they've suffered for years due to economic inequality. They may have got the root cause wrong, having been fed lies by tabloids, but they know what it is they're experienced.

  • Maybe but when you drilled down into the polls when people were asked what was most important they placed immigration ahead of the economy. You could say that concern about immigration is a proxy for concern about jobs/the economy but that's not what people were actually saying.

    I absolutely agree that the result was about relative inequality though, which is an economic concern.

  • Lynton Crosby has earnt every penny the Tories have paid him,
    by getting the rabid right wing press to persuade those who have suffered from 37 years of Trickledown that the enemy is 'Immigration' rather than the policies of successive UK Governments.
