That analogy doesn't work. Other people buying tickets doesn't affect your chances of winning.
Would work better if you promised to win the lottery but others stopped you from buying a ticket.

Spot on. I do find it bizarre that the Tory strategy to start with is to blame Labour for not enacting Brexit when, to steal from a twitter post, it was the ERG who blocked it the first three times, for not being Brexity enough, the DUP the fourth time and Johnson that pulled the bill the fifth time, after his deal was approved in principle, because he didn't want it scrutinised. Those are ALL Brexiters.
It's like Tories, have a look a bit closer to home for the Brexit blockers if that is the topic you want to lead on. How about leading on the economy as that is traditionally your strong suit.

Unfortunately, almost every prediction is that Brexit will, at east initially, screw the economy!
Oh and because so much effort has gone into Brexit, there's little the Tories can proclaim as 'look how we've looke after the economy'.
And, from BoJo's reord in government, it'll all have to be aspiration, rather than performance, based as he simply hasn't been in government long enough to achieve anything worth shouting about!

It’s always the case, labour over tax .. well everything gets under funded and needs repairing. It’s just so obvious and yet so many people still don’t get it.

True, but don't forget Labour also caused the global economic financial crisis in the late 2000s as well by encouraging the selling of subprime mortgages in the US and then selling our gold reserves on Ebay for 50p.

And don’t forget the letter that said we had no money left. The gullibles always love bringing that little trump card out. Mystifyingly, they never bring up the time when the Tory Chancellor left almost exactly the same note for his Labour successor. It’s almost as though they’re just regurgitating exactly what their Masters want them to without any real thought 🤔True, but don't forget Labour also caused the global economic financial crisis in the late 2000s as well by encouraging the selling of subprime mortgages in the US and then selling our gold reserves on Ebay for 50p.
That was such a major sense of humour failure, embarrassing. I remember seeing the guy interviewed who wrote the note at the time and it was a bit of fun, passing over the baton to the opposition.

This one really gets up my nose ... the banks showed they could not be trusted and needed heavier regulation.True, but don't forget Labour also caused the global economic financial crisis in the late 2000s as well by encouraging the selling of subprime mortgages in the US and then selling our gold reserves on Ebay for 50p.

Naw…he was just incompetent and underestimated the opposition to Brexit.
Bluff and threats can only get you so far before you get found out.
Repeat and rinse makes you look a fool.

To make it more applicable to Johnson, how about:
I would have won the the club championship, except for the fact I’m not good enough and my opponents were better than me!

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
I thought that Boris had some kind of cunning plan that would have seen us leave on 31st. But it looks like he was comprehensively out manoeuvred.

If you told me you were going to break your course record and then the course was closed down, would that make you a liar or merely mistaken?

It would mean that I’d promised something that I didn’t have total control of. A bit stupid really.
