An appealing idea, but I suspect that may be wishful thinking. There will be so many other possible diversionary excuses for the country sliding into recession, and rest assured that the Tories and their tabloid apologists will be working hard on that. (As they have been doing already by blaming problems with Brexit on the EU e.g. May's speech at No. 10 invoking images of war, the Gibraltar kerfuffle, etc.)

As much as I want the Tories to lose tomorrow, part of me also hopes they win. Because then the cluster fuck that is Brexit will happen on their watch, and, in the way Gordon Brown is blamed for the 2008 financial crisis, we can spend the next ten years hammering the Tories for plunging us into recession, losing any standing we had on the international stage, devastating our public services, etc.
