I'm as guilty of this as anyone... but there do seem to be a lot of people on this here twitter arguing that things would be better (re Brexit, the GE, etc) if only people had followed their advice.
So... what did I get wrong (on Brexit)?
First, I did not think Johnson would reach a new deal with the EU. I thought he would prefer to go into the GE with his deal 'stubbornly undefined'. It some ways it is, but the WA, and the WAB, were there; ready for detailed scrutiny. 1/

Second (and linked) I thought that Johnson's deal would receive much more detailed scrutiny, and that it would, as a result, lose support. That never happened. Get Brexit done proved to be enough. 2/
And third, I thought that revoke would be a path which would appeal to remainers. The PV route was (successfully) depicted as 'dither and delay'; but there's precious little evidence that revoke was a more popular message. 3/
Now, I can explain away each of those; but it is probably better to accept that I was wrong, and do some rethinking... 4/4
