Labour has, belatedly, picked a side on Brexit. Unfortunately for them it’s the wrong side. I think they’re about to find out that just enough of their support in the rest of England and Wales was prepared to vote Tory to get Brexit done - similar, though not on the same scale, as Thatcher’s victory in 1979, once the country, including sufficient natural Labour supporters, was sufficiently sick of the instability of the previous 3 years.
Polls suggest they’re dead as a dodo in Scotland, which unfortunately is most likely to disproportionately benefit the SNP given how marginal so many seats are. Even if the Tories increase their vote by a few hundred in the seats they hold, in most of them the SNP only has to increase its vote by a few hundred and one to win. And I think those disaffected Scottish Labour voters who haven’t voted Tory yet, aren’t very likely to do so now.
