Does the low turnout tell us that the unimpressive Labour national vote share was due to potential Labour voters staying home, thinking it was a foregone conclusion?

It probably tells you that people aren’t convinced that Keir is much different from a Tory.

So, the seats of Truss, Johnson, May and Cameron were all lost.

I could walk from my house in the Black Country to the Scottish Borders without crossing a Tory constituency.

Wow, Aylesbury has gone red. Non Tory for the first time in about 100 years, iirc. If gerrymandering us out is what tipped the balance, then I'm happy to have helped, even if I do still have a Tory MP. Hopefully he'll be marginally less useless than Rob Butler, I can but hope.

Unfortunately the Tories took Torridge and Tavistock, or Land's End to Berwick, or maybe even John O'Groats would have be possible. As well as all four extreme points of mainland UK.

Greg Smith? I suspect you will be hoping in vain :-(

If you ordered Matt Hancock from Wish

Though reports of 25% Lab were slightly over-egged

But Aylesbury is a little amusing. I'm crossing fingers for Wycombe, though there are reports that Baker might hold on by the skin of his teeth

What was I worrying about, it wasn't even close :-)

So happy to see Baker gone
