We consider the economic and business implications of the Conservatives' UK election win.

We consider the economic and business implications of the Conservatives' UK election win. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Rob Young is in Derby in the English east Midlands to gauge business reaction there. Justin Urquhart-Stewart of Seven Investment Management assesses how the financial markets have reacted to the news. The economist Ann Pettifor is a former Labour economic adviser and considers the likely impact on the future economic policy direction of the main British opposition Labour party. With Brexit now almost certain to happen next month, Christophe Leitl, president of the Brussels-based business group Eurochambres discusses how his members are reacting. Plus we assess how Brexit is likely to impact the economies of both the UK and European Union with Kate Andrews of the London-based Institute of Economic Affairs, and Jonathan Portes, professor of economics at King's College, London.
