Unlikely to have a crash out Brexit now which is good but you’re right - lots of unknown side-effects most of which aren’t good.
Literally they aren’t going anywhere

They are, backwards
Hmmmm, it’s still quite possible at the end of 2020
Talks will not go well
The only way you can do a trade deal in a year is if you basically have full EU alignment
So what happens when that trade deal cannot be done and the Tories go full on civil war, which could happen
The unknown unknowns now come into play.

Perhaps - still risks everywhere. Once the Brexit vote passed though (with Corbyns lacklustre effort) the Pandora’s box was opened. Hard to see it ever being closed again. The original sin.
We all naively thought Momentum signified forward momentum
It was the Tory press that won the Brexit referendum
Had the Tory presss been in favour of staying in the EU, Remain would have won 65-35 minimum
They’re a cancer on public discourse

This is true
FFS sake sid. You changed your prediction more than once. Leaving yourself with a number of various predictions to point at is shithouse punditry. It’s like when @RaymondCrotty fell apart at the seams (one of the times).
Definitely a factor. The Labour leader effectively shrugging his shoulders and not going all in wasn’t a great help either though.
This is the spirit you’ll need to make it through the night
What an odd post
Be some craic if Borris lost his seat
Surely impossible - but t’would be hilarious

You were saying earlier that you couldn’t believe the Tories could beat Labour in London and that Labour might beat the Tories in Scotland. I find both those things very believable. Boris is very popular in London where he was mayor, whereas he is despised in Scotland because he said that a pound spent in London was better for the country than a pound spent in Glasgow (and also because the Scots although cowardly have a little bit of sense).
If the SNP are on 55 I presume the fragrant Jo Swinson and her boobies are gone too
I hope Layla Moran has held on
She’d be a good Lib Dem leader
