"Ms. May and the Conservatives tried to make this election about Brexit and nothing but Brexit. That didn’t fly with voters. "

Well, to put it simply/mildly, the Conservative initiated Brexit (that is exactly what it was) happened to be a lie. The Brexit proponents did not only lie, they made up facts and figures, they went to depth of misinformation we have not seen in many decades, they very simply lied and disappeared after the fateful vote as the pond scum they are, were and always will be.

Thus/so, the lied to Brits paid back this pond scum in "spades"

How (very) poetic.......
