    What does Farron do?

    Part of me will be fascinated by how JC does if he becomes PM. I suspect it will be a car crash.

    If it's any consolation to my right-wing friends there's nothing that'll be more infuriating to Juncker and the rest of the unlucky people lumbered with negotiating a Brexit agreement than having no idea if the people they're talking to will still be in office in 3 weeks time.
