The pound and shares have surged after Boris and the Conservatives won a clear majority.

Sterling gained 2.1% to $1.34 - its highest level since May last year - on hopes that the big majority would remove uncertainty over Brexit.

Chris Chope welcomes Boris Johnson’s commitment to include in the Queen’s Speech on the 19th of December a Bill to protect commuters from disruption caused by strikes. The Minimum Service Agreement Bill is promised in the programme for the first 100 days of a Conservative majority Government.

A Majority Conservative Government:

The first 100 days of a Conservative majority Government would see the passing of the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal, a Queen’s Speech to introduce key domestic legislation covering law and order and health and a post Brexit Budget to take advantage of the opportunities before us.
