Crumbs of Comfort

Last night was an almost unmitigated disaster, with much worse still to come. However, I am clinging to a few very small crumbs of comfort...

1. Corbyn will be going, and Swinson has already gone. Their utter inability to agree an interim PM meant there could be no vote of no confidence to remove Boris, delay Brexit, and have a second referendum. That chance is now gone. Their inability to cooperate during the election meant a split Remain vote, and led to more seats for the Tories (that might not be the decisive factor, but it certainly didn't help). So good riddance to both.
   
2. Thankfully, the SNP had a good night. Had they stood still or, worse, actually lost seats, the narrative would have been that there is no appetite for independence. Given the government that is now in place, and what we fear they may bring, it is absolutely vital that Scotland retain at least the option of escape.
   
3. As things stand, 2024 stands to be a very good year - Boris in May, and then Donald in November. (And, yes, I'm writing off 2020. Sorry.)

And that's all I've got.
