Not exactly the result I wanted or indeed I think will be fruitful. Brexit will now happen as I am sure the negotiated withdrawal agreement will pass by the January 31 deadline. The format of the future after that is unclear and within the hands of Johnson. He will no longer be beholden to the DUP or the European Research Group cabal so maybe there will be something more integrated with the EU. Who knows as Johnson is a slippery character who has no problem with changing his mind when it suits his purpose.

A big loss for Labour which has already been met with ‘it was all to do with Brexit’ ( and not Corbyn or his project) versus ‘Corbyn is toxic and he must go’. Plenty of infighting to come and to be drawn out for a long time.
