Dammit in reply to @Oliver Schick

I still don't think the Tories will risk a general election before they've implemented the Boundary Review and gerrymandered Labour out of the picture.

For all that the 2017 election was like reaching down the loo for May, she did buy the Tories two more years with it.

He's got no time I think, come Radnor he'll have a majority of what, 1-2?

What he has promised to deliver is only within the purview of a party with a big majority, he'll have to have a GE and it'll be this autumn.

I think he's confident that Corbyn has destroyed his own base with his Lexit position sufficiently that if Johnson out-Brexits the Brexit party he can see off the threat of the SNP/Lib-Dems, with the Labour vote collapsing in the background.

The other advantage Johnson has, is that he is the sort of politician who can successfully maintain multiple opposing positions and get away with it.
