Labour win in landslide: What happens now? | LBC analysis

Andrew Marr speaks to Nick Ferrari in an instant reaction to Labour's victorious and historical landslide.
In his first speech as Prime Minister elect, Sir Keir Starmer has said Britain has the "chance to get its future back" after Labour won the General Election.
Andrew Marr tells Nick Ferrari that he thinks the next few weeks 'will be absolutely hectic'.
'If he fails to deliver the change he has promised people, I think the democratic reckoning in four or five years time will be horrendous', says Andrew Marr.

"moving back to the single market and customs union....". There are no such options for a third country like UK is. As an EU member you are in the single market and customs union. Three EFTA members and 27 EU members and EU itself are in the EEA the European Economic Agreement that is the single market of today. The options for single market access are: 1. Applying to join EU. Since UK is a former member Article 50.5 of the treaty of EU applies and it says: "Any country that has withdrawn from the EU may apply to rejoin. It would be required to go through the accession procedure." 2. Apply to join EFTA ( Norway and Iceland will block it). Neither the EU, nor its current 27 member States, are members of EFTA. After Brexit, the UK, not being a member of EFTA, and not anymore an EU member, could not be an EEA member and could not be a candidate to become one. Article 126 of the EEA states that the Agreement shall apply to the territories which the Treaty establishing the EEC (today the EU) is applied and to the territories of Iceland, the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Kingdom of Norway . These three States are members of EFTA and, in accordance with articles 108 of the EEA Agreement, have established the EFTA Surveillance Authority and the EFTA Court. Both these institutions are only competent for these three States. Their role is to ensure the fulfillment by the EEA EFTA States of their obligations under the EEA Agreement. They are not competent for Switzerland, despite this country being a member of EFTA. UK as a third country cannot establish these institutions. Procedurally, in order to become a member of the EEA the UK would first have to present its candidacy and negotiate and conclude an accession agreement to become an EFTA member according to article 56 of the Convention establishing the EFTA. This is because the EEA cannot apply to non EU member States, with the exception of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, precisely because they are members of EFTA according to article 126 of the EEA. Thus, the UK will have to negotiate an accession treaty to EFTA with the four members of this organisation: Switzerland and the three EEA EFTA members. Once becoming an EFTA member, the UK will then have to negotiate an EEA accession treaty with the 31 entities which are members of the EEA: the EU, its 27 member States and the three EEA EFTA members. The Parties could agree to proceed to both negotiations at the same time.

It was all just a game for him. The guy has no clue and lives in his own rich mans fantasy world.

Now Starmer's slithered his way in, l don't like it, but l accept and respect the Nation's decision. Let's see if Labour accepts and respects the Nation's decision over Brexit - somehow l think not, but we will see. World War 3 has just taken a huge leap forward in my honest opinion.

Beware .Labour's policies on immigration will change every town and villages around Britain they will be unrecognizable. But that's what you voted for, don't moan when your school's are ruined ,your services stretched more than ever ,your council tax through the roof. But never mind you voted for it , don't moan .you wanted change. Wave bye bye to your culture and values .

Well technically we as the public have to take some responsibility by making sure the Tories are not voted back in after Labour. We need to get the Liberal Democrats in opposition.

[@toni6053]

It was a vote against the tories, not a vote for labour. If nothing, this election has proved yet again how bankrupt our electoral system is. That the FibDems have got 72 seats and Reform has 1 is utterly ridiculous given the number of votes. Not that I like either party, but it shows just how ridiculous it all is.

Don't expect much from Labour, Keir isn't a Gordon Brown

[@johnchristmas7522]

Christ thats not a recommendation!

[@adrianlloyd6403]

Who cares what Keir is or isn't,this country is broke so unless Labour can generate economic growth to pay the huge debt bills we have and the promises they made to invest in public services, then they will end up like the Tories in five years.If they just tax people more (with the tax burden already at historic highs) instead of creating genuine economic growth then five years is all they will get imho.
