He should be very careful regarding Brexit...

Local elections: What bruising results mean for Labour and the ConservativesSupport for the main parties - led by Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn - was clearly down in these elections. Labour have lost a small amount of seats. Around 60 but roughly held steady. Conservatives have lost over a 1000. Not the same thing. Conservatives lost over 1300 councillors, they should learn the consequences of their austerity, the Tories kept Northamptonshire due to the council not being able to afford election, Labour loss less than 100 councillors the problem was trying to appease both sides Tories lost nearly 1300 seats more than labour but you have made it out that they were bad as each other
