Parliament has put an end to any proroguing nonsense. (There was no real chance of that anyway, it was just the media getting excited again)
What next?
July 23rd - New Tory leader announced
July 25th - Summer recess
August 1st - Radnor by election
Sept 3rd - Parliament resumes
Sept 12th to October 6th - Conference season
October 7th - Parliament resumes

Somewhere in there is going to be a general election. There's no avoiding it. If the Tories prorogue for summer they still have to come back in September.
And if they lose Radnor . . .
And if they lose Radnor . . .
The Tories have a nominal majority of 1. You CAN'T govern on that, and if they try it can only make them look weak and ineffectual the more votes they lose.
A general election is now a certainty, we can all see that. The question is, what do they put in their manifestos?
We know the Lib Dems are remain, and the Brexit Party is Brexit, so both sides of the argument will be catered for by at least one party.
It doesn't look like Labour or the Tories can win a majority this time.
A hung parliament and another referendum.
