The collected wisdom on here was that we were set for 15 years of Tory rule after the 2019 election, so I'll take any political predictions with a large pinch of salt.

I said it a few weeks ago - they had everything sewn up for the long-term - the majority, the media, the gerrymandering. Looked like we'd never see a Labour government again*. It still absolutely boggles the mind how they're torched all that political capital in such a short space of time. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the most incompetent administration in modern British history.
*actually, we never will - not in the sense if anything you'd recognise as vaguely left-wing. But that's another argument.

Sadly I can see that with that large a majority the Labour party will soon tear itself into shreds during the first few years of Govnerment. They'll be safe for the 5 years though, but I'd fear for 2029/30 GE.
