This “political expert” is having a bad run with his predictions
Tom Harwood is a pro-Brexit political commentator, who clearly thinks he has insight into likely political developments, but as this montage from Twitter user @samisam147 hilariously demonstrates, he’s not as good as he thinks he is. Sound up – watch to the end.

Although he was right about the new law strategy, he was wrong about its defeat, as the Benn Bill is one of the seven Commons votes Boris Johnson has lost so far, making him the least successful prime minister in history. If the rumours of a no-confidence vote are true, he may also grab the record for the shortest tenure.
The Guido Fawkes writer’s public humiliation has had the thumbs up from various quarters, including these.

In light of his terrible strike rate, it looks like this assessment of Tom Harwood’s expertise might be pretty accurate.
'Tom Harwood' and 'political expert' should not be seen in the same sentence.
Harwood is a second-rate hack with about as much political expertise as one of my farts. You have to wonder who he's shagging/blowing at the BBC, given how much air time he's getting.
