The Tory media team were stating 1,000 losses.

It was obviously expectation management, with 500-800 losses giving them reason to say "We've done better than expected".

Hmmm.

If more people could be bothered to vote it would have been worse. How do the turnout figures look?

It's an absolute hammering for the Tories.

You love to see it.

It's a piss poor performance from Labour, in the midst of everything this is the best they can manage.

Hahaha.

Was waiting for this.

Like clockwork.

It's an absolute disaster for the Tories and a good day for Labour.

'Piss poor'

Rugby goes to NoC, but could have been worse for Tories - a fair few of the Wards split votes between Labour, Lib Dems, and Greens, letting Tories hang on.

You seem to not understand that a bad day for the Tories ≠ a good day for Labour

I've read all week centrist arseholes on Twitter tell people they're "obliged to vote for Labour in a 2 party system" and yet Labour has won less than half of the seats shed by the Tories.

The tories have now lost over 1000 seats

The pollster FP posted admits Labour are still in a good position to win next year

I wish people would actually look above the headline tweet

For the hundredth time, I live in a key marginal and Labour has made practically no gains here, this should set alarm bells going somewhere

I perfectly understand.

That's why I said it's a disastrous day for Tories and a good day for Labour.

If I thought they were the same then I'd have said disastrous day for the Tories and a phenomenal day for Labour, or something.

If Grendel, FP and Dan Hodges think it was a bad day for Labour then you can be absolutely sure it was a good day.

The "but Labour didn't do well here" argument is meaningless in the current political landscape.

Labour don't have to win everywhere, they may not win back places like Dudley and others but as the lib dems take seats in the "blue wall" it means Labour and Starmer don't have to be massively popular to win.

Still I guess we can find a tory pollster

The 'excellent' Dan Hodges I believe you referred to him as.

A man who is wrong on literally everything.

So I can see why you're a fan.
