presumably he's going to be tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime

how did I not know about this record...?!

The Tories just got absolutely stuffed. They can just laugh them off. But having won a miraculous landslide with half a million fewer votes than Corbyn's 2019 debacle, they need to be thinking about the next election already. I might put a bet down on Reform.

It'll be interesting to see what the effect ID requirement had. The Tories' plan of vote suppression seems to have reduced the big Labour majorities in the inner cities, but that made no real difference because Labour obviously won those seats anyway. It doesn't seem to have had much effect...

from the Tory PM's constituencies: Witney (ex. David Cameron) – Lib Dem gain Maidenhead (ex. Theresa May) – Lib Dem gain Uxbridge and South Ruislip (ex. Boris Johnson) – Lab gain South West Norfolk (Liz Truss) – Lab gain Richmond and Northallerton (Rishi Sunak) – Con hold well done there...
