- Boris Johnson will be replaced with a Prime Minister who is more competent, more right wing and more difficult to beat.

- Nicola Sturgeon will be forced to announce a proposed date for an Independence Referendum against her better judgement.
- Lambeth Conference will take place but some people forced to participate virtually due to continued pandemic in developing world. (No new sanctions against pro-gay provinces).
- Working from home/hybrid working becomes normalised for big companies. Consequent increase in ransomware demands.
