It's not just the hypothetical question of what he'd do as Prime Minister, but the effect he has on the Commons now that is worrying about Corbyn's stance on Russia

OBR  'vote to leave eu appears to have slowed the economy but by less than we expected immediately after the referendum, thanks in part by willingness of consumers to maintain spending by reducing their saving'

I guess he ignored a golden rule. Something being true doesn't by itself make it a sensible thing to say.

The remainers were insulting you? I am pretty sure the evidence points the other way.

I dare say insulting people made little difference originally, just can't see many people deciding to vote for something somebody else has labelled that the racist or the idiot's choice.  No advertising agency ever sold golliwogs by saying they were the choice of thick racists.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

The political establishment basically got a kicking because they underestimated the public.

The “we know best” attitude came across as arrogance - if the remainers had run a better campaign they would have won the referendum, yet we still see the likes of Vince Cable just not getting it.

Bullshit, there was loads of people calling leavers thick racists etc and you know it.

I think the twatish behaviour just got people’s backs up and made a few extra people get up and vote that otherwise might not have been arsed. Could easily have been the difference that got leave over the line as it was so tight.
