This fact the Tories got so thouroughly curb stomped by Labour and the Liberal Democats are now actually somewhat relevant gives me hope for this world.
The story of the ex-Tory PMs’ seats is fascinating too. There have been five Tory PMs since 2010, all in super safe Tory seats, and only one of those (Sunak’s seat) remains blue.
Witney (David Cameron’s former seat), Maidenhead (Theresa May’s former seat) and Henley (Boris Johnson’s first seat) - went Lib Dem.
Uxbridge (Boris Johnson’s second seat) and SW Norfolk (Liz Truss’s seat) - went Labour.
A pretty stark verdict by the voters on the track record of the Tories in office!
