the Brexit Party and the Tories to allow Farage a clear run at a handful of winnable Labour Leave seats and and the Tories a massive chunk of winnable marginals, it's looking pretty f*cking good for Boris right now.
I'm certainly not counting my chickens yet, but.....but.....
Poor Jorge
That's my tentative take, too. And, judging by the number of remainers running around shítting themselves at the moment, they were banking on BP as their last hope.
Seriously, you've now got remain die-hards who are also trenchant critics of Corbyn's anti-semitism like Nick Cohen and David Aaronovitch advocating Lib/Lab pacts that would put Corbyn in Number 10. They're that panicked.
You love to see it.
I don't really see that Labour have any cards to play to counter it, either. I might be wrong, but it feels like they've dug themselves in too deep to enter a meaningful remain alliance. They'll basically be left hoping for a catastrophic Tory scandal, which is, of course, eminently possible...
If the polls start creeping up for the Tories over the coming days, it will be tempting to think they're home and dry
This could - COULD - be beautiful.

More importantly, the LibDems won't do it. They agreed to this election because they saw an opportunity to gain seats from both Labour and the Tories by having an election pre-Brexit (stopping which is the only one of their policies their voters actually care about). They're not going to risk the prospect of getting back to 2010 numbers of MPs by getting into bed with Corbyn.
I am too terrified of the alternative to risk confidence, but if I were truly objective and had to make a bet, it'd only be one way.
