As such, the Tories need Labour to win the next election.

A Corbyn gov’t would make the last two years of delivering Brexit seem like a well-oiled machine.

Expect dates to shift to suit the shafting of the next government - who will have to campaign based on how they will deal with the mess.

As such, the Tories need Labour to win the next election and at the end of 5 years, even if Labour carried on the exact same policies that the Tories had, then JRM would lead the Tories to a resounding victory, blaming the Brexit fiasco 100% on Labour.
Cue the selling off of the NHS, etc, privatisation of everything, more people going to food banks, all the fault of Labour and benefits scroungers.

The Hedgie-in-Chief likes food banks.

Sounds like a Theresa May 'Let me be perfectly clear.'
