And so, after all that, Boris Johnson finds his party with a smaller poll lead than it had at the start the very long General Election campaign of 2017. Look how that ended, after about the same length of time as there probably is between today and the next General Election.
Winning Leave seats from Labour was the "strategy" then, too. Which ones is it supposed to be this time? Go on, name them. You said Bolsover two years ago, so where is it now? Easington? Where, exactly?

Brexit was a vote against the Conservative Party, which was of course in Government at the time, and which in that capacity advocated a Remain vote. People who had often stopped voting at all under New Labour found the time between working three jobs and nevertheless queuing at the food bank to deliver a decisive rejection of the economic policies of the previous 39 years, since the Callaghan Government's turn to monetarism in 1977. Under all three parties, but primarily under the party that was in Government at the time.
The same people then deprived even Theresa May and her band of German-style Christian Democrats of her overall majority. They are certainly not going to deliver one to Johnson and his crankshop, which does not merely suggest that people in old age should use their savings to fund their care, but which intends to render the whole thing mostly academic by putting up the pension age to 75, so that most men and many women in the Brexit-swinging areas would be dead before they were ever eligible to draw their pensions.

Even the Mail on Sunday news pages and even Peter Hitchens's column have now seen fit to mention the very open secret that one of Johnson's closest advisers was Munira Mirza, who was now the Director of the Number 10 Policy Unit, so that the Revolutionary Communist Party had now entered Government. Real Trotskyists, who really did support the Provisional IRA.
And the rest. Through the Irish Freedom Movement, the RCP opposed the Good Friday Agreement because it was still not the 32 County Republic, and supported those who fought on. Barely 20 years later, that tendency is now directing the Number 10 Policy Unit and successfully advising the Prime Minister to prorogue Parliament.
That old RCP crowd has a very colourful history. That ridiculous Aaronovitch creature, who has baggage of his own, once tried to link Jeremy Corbyn to Red Action, but it was in fact the RCP, who are now directing the Number 10 Policy Unit and successfully advising the Prime Minster to prorogue Parliament, who were part of the Red Front electoral coalition with Red Action and others in 1987.
Red Action were no mere cheerleaders for the Provisional IRA and for the INLA. Two members were convicted of the Harrods bombing in 1993, and there have long been questions about its role in that year's Warrington bombing, which the RCP openly supported.
Yet today, Red Action's electoral allies from the height of the Troubles, the people who offered political support of the Warrington bombing, direct the Number 10 Policy Unit and successfully advise the Prime Minister to prorogue Parliament. If it is a pro-IRA Trotskyist coup that you fear under Corbyn, then you ought to be aware that it has already happened under Johnson.
The RCP also forms a key component of the Brexit Party, with several stalwarts already selected as parliamentary candidates, and with several more to come. No one with anything remotely approaching that kind of background is anywhere near Corbyn or even John McDonnell, for all their many other faults.
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party is now in the process of registration. After nearly 30 years of suggestion, speculation, and even a sort of preparation, I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here.
