Nationalisation of the post office is daft indeed, but is harmless in comparison to the hard right stupidity of the Tories. In any case I don't believe Corbyn will get a majority, it will probably also be a minority government.
One of the reasons the UK is in this mess is because a substantial number of the older middle class voted for Brexit; it would be good for their soul to pay some extra taxes to help out some of the younger people they shat all over.

They understand the alternative: Korbyn. For example, Hammond is spitting blood behind the scenes, "street fighting", but he was clearly following the White Paper line in public this morning. It could all fall apart, but I don't think any of them want Korbyn on their conscience and, let's be clear, he'd win in the near term.
Incidentally, do you want them to fall apart? Do you want Korbyn?Comment

If I wanted to make things worse, I'd throw my weight behind Boris as PM.

Some excellent analysis by the German foreign minister, who is making clear that the door is open for a reasonable deal with the EU:
UK may be able to secure 'soft Brexit' and stay in European Single Market, hints German Foreign Minister | The Independent
Mr Gabriel strongly criticized the UK’s Conservatives, saying that they “played with the emotions of citizens in Britain, told fake news about Europe and left people unclear about what consequences this would all have.”
Referring to the “difficult, even impossible situation” created by the indecisive election, he added: “Here, those who created such chaos would have long since gone.”I'm alright JackComment

We may have only scratched the surface of the political tulipstorm. They've cancelled the Queen's Speech, obviously because that's a potential point where the minority government can be brought down. Democracy in action.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
