I find it interesting how people view PR. I would have thought Scotland would have disabused everyone that PR solves all your problems? Even if you don't watch other countries, where it takes months, or sometimes over a year, to form a government after a PR election.

I want boring politics. I want detail not spin. I want solutions not soundbites.

What I do not want is three word slogans - 'Get Brexit Done', 'We need Change'. I want action and policies that work for the UK.

Get back into the EU Single Market and Customs Union, if not the EU. Our trading deals are pahetic by comparison to what we had. We are already the most powerful European military power, get the rest to join in and work with us. We need to work together on all fronts.

No European country on its own has any global influence, collectively they do. We need to be there.

You won't get a vote to re join the EU. You can't get Schengen and the Euro past the British people and Starmer knows this. The EU will not let us back in without them and that is the right approach.

All those voters who voted for Labour to get this result. That's going to sting over the coming years.
