This one isn't quite a list. Basically things go slightly different in 2019, and May manages to pass the Withdrawal Agreement. This had come some personal cost - in particular a commitment to not stand at the next election. However, moods improved somewhat as 2020 dawned and there was some hope that Britain had turned over a new leaf and with Brexit done, the country could look forward to talking about something else.

a finger of the monkeys paw curled

Theresa May ended up presiding over not only Brexit negotiations, but over the emergence of the novel coronavirus. May's febrile relationship with the hard-right Eurosceptic backbenches - already outraged over the Northern Ireland backstop and its consequences - worsened further as May committed the nation to lockdown in early March and then again in September. Struggling to run the country with her own party, May was forced to form the so-called 'Shadow Government' as an assortment of Labour Shadow Ministers, LibDem and nationalist spokespersons were allowed to attend meetings with senior civil servants, while May called upon an increasingly limited number of Tories to fill her frontbench. While Jeremy Corbyn remained the official Leader of the Opposition, he found himself defending the Government's anti-covid measures more often than not, while the bitterest opponents of the government was the 'Covid Recovery Group' of libertarian Tories - and a number of Independent ex-Labour and Tory MPs opposed to Labour's invitation into the halls of government under Corbyn.

While Britain battened down the hatches and tried to weather the storm - even with a few holes drilled into the hull by Brexit - a certain section of the populace grew increasingly bitter at the 'corbynvirus lockdown'. Allegations of a hard left plot to install Stalinism by the backdoor via emergency legislation and vaccine passports were muttered and then screamed, first on Facebook and finally the streets outside Westminster. Corbyn would become a victim of the backlash himself, mobbed while visiting a Nightingale Hospital. Hospitalised, he contracted the coronavirus. While he would survive, his position as Leader was seemingly untenable in the circumstances. His recently elected deputy stepped into the breach and soon became the public face of Britain's recovery as the vaccine was rolled out to great success. With cases falling rapidly - but the country by no means out of lockdown - it was deemed safe enough for a general election. The Shadow Government survived just long enough to make the arrangements before collapsing.

In the circumstances, May decided to take her chances on re-election, reneging on her agreement with Tory backbenchers. Her personal polling had soared during lockdown and in any case, much of the CRF Tories had finally decided to throw in the towel and crossed to Nigel Farage's latest rebrand. Her decision was disastrous. Uncoupled from the Shadow Government, May could point to little that Labour or her other partners could not claim as their own - whilst also having to take the blame for the consequences of Brexit in Northern Ireland and the emergent crises in supply chains.

The Labour Party won the biggest majority since 2001, successfully garnishing their manifesto with not just promises but concrete reminders of what they had done over the last year. The LibDems also enjoyed a breakthrough, partially at the SNP's expense thanks to Alex Salmond's vanity party Alba which placed itself in opposition to Sturgeon's 'collaboration with Westminster'. ReformUK picked up a couple of fistfuls of seats, while a small number of Independent MPs also managed to win re-election. The Alliance Party re-emerged in Northern Ireland, while Foster's position as leader of the DUP suffered a fatal blow as the TUV won a seat.
 
Regardless of what his politics are, U's M insists on recreating the *spins wheel* 1925 Country party manifesto
I deliberately didn't prescribe anything like that, to save poor, poor Sideways from having to google Siloism or the Reconstruction Party of Canada or whatever bullshit I'm on this week.

Although, being me, I have to quickly say that 1925 was the worst vintage of the lot.
 
2020 De facto formation of 'Shadow Government' with Labour, SNP and Liberal Democrats; 'Covid Recovery Group' Conservatives form de facto Opposition

This is great--PM lists always need more de jure vs de facto.

Uncoupled from the Shadow Government, May could point to little that Labour or her other partners could not claim as their own
