147: Kind of Blue

A Tory landslide, a catastrophe for Jeremy Corbyn. Paul Osbourne and Robert Meakin work through the extraordinary results of the 2019 General Election.

Boris Johnson returns to Downing Street with the biggest Tory majority since Margaret Thatcher. The man who wanted to be world king is free to remould post-Brexit Britain in whatever way he chooses.

And, right now, there’s no-one to oppose him. Jeremy Corbyn intends to hang around for a while, despite leading his party to its worst defeat in more than 80 years. Does the party even want to win anymore?

Plus we ask how Jo Swinson got the Lib Dem election campaign so badly wrong, and whether the Tory win and the inevitability of Brexit creates a new constitutional crisis in both Scotland and Northern Ireland.
