    Yeah, the fact that Fife NE went to recount is proof that the LDs haven't made much progress in Scotland.

    I really don't want Boris as PM though. And we really cannot bloody take a delay for a Tory leadership election, nor do they want another coronation.

    Lab set up well for stonking win in 2022 no matter what. (or a win in 2017 if another election happens).
