The key person wrong on Brexit is your goodself via the fantasy trade deals you were promising us, starting with the US in pole position.
I hope and expect we get a free trade deal but that doesn't mean the end of customs checks and delays unfortunately.
I've heard BoJo will take another of his famous "Surrender Strolls" as he did with Leo Varadkar before signing the Withdrawal Agreement. This will see him agree to pretty much everything asked of him by the EU but he will fool his ever-diminishing fanbase that he's got a great deal.

We shoudn't delude ourselves about polls when they give us inconvenient results. The Brexit vote shows that no referendum win for the status quo can be taken for granted. The performance of the current government with its Brexit negotiations and in tackling Covid 19 makes it no advert for the benefits of the Union.
Scottish independence is a serious threat to the UK and I hope we have a convincing narrative in place for the Union if a referendum happens. But that's another thread.
