Congratulations to Jane Dodds and the LibDems.
But this also means that sensible decent conservatives (there are a few) like Dominic Grieve and Phillip Hammond can really make things extremely difficult for Boris. There are a few folk on the Labour benches who will be prepared to vote for Brexit; so the final parliamentary arithmetic remains opaque.
It may come down to a general election.
If so I waver between thinking it will be the largest turn-out ever, or the smallest.
