The 2017 GE result is possibly the least useful predictor of this election there's ever been. Might as well try and read tea leaves. Since then...
A) Brexit has become very real and very close
B) Labour has sat on the fence
C) Corbyn's popularity has plummeted further
D) Brexit Party has entered the picture
E) LibDems have changed to a stronger Remain stance
F) LibDems cleaned up in the European Elections, proving there is strong willingness to vote tactically
G) Two more years of Tory austerity and stagnation
H) NHS in its worst ever condition
I) Labour antisemitism scandal has grown and grown
J) Boris Johnson is *not* Theresa May
K) Prorogation, Supreme Court battles and other scary anti-democratic moves have become "acceptable" practice
L) LibDem local election surge
M) SNP have completely rebuilt their support base
N) Climate change has raced up the agenda

Anyone who insists on banging on about the GE2017 result to try and dictate voting behaviour this time around is playing others for fools, and maybe conning themself too.
