Back on 31 December 2014 I wrote THIS article giving ten predictions for 2015. So, let’s see how I did…
- Three political party leaders will resign by the end of the year. CORRECT
- Norwich City will be promoted to the Premier League. CORRECT
- At least one politician associated with the Child Sex Abuse scandal will be arrested and charged. CORRECT
- Ian Katz will be the new editor of The Guardian. WRONG (but nearly right, seeing as he was offered it and the offer was then withdrawn)
- Jason Seiken will leave the Telegraph. CORRECT
- Nick Robinson steps down as political editor of the BBC by the end of the year. CORRECT
- Interest rates remain where they are for the rest of the year. CORRECT
- Tim Farron becomes the new leader of the Liberal Democrats… what’s left of them. CORRECT
- ISIS launch attacks in Lebanon and/or Jordan. CORRECT
- John Kerry steps down as US Secretary of State. WRONG
So eight (and a bit!) out of ten! Not bad! I’ll write my 2016 predictions before the end of the year.
