One thing that I have been discussing with people this morning is what happens at the next election. There is a widespread view that the 'red wall' voted in favour of the Conservatives because of either or both of Brexit and Corbyn.

Come the next election, the Conservatives will want to hold onto as many of those seats as they can and neither of those two drivers will be in play. So it is likely that they will spend a fair proportion of this Parliament trying to consolidate that hold. Quite what they will do remains to be seen, but it may well be more 'leftish' than we might normally expect.
