Oh, and one more thing, though not putting it in this thread because it's a somewhat different issue. But it honestly seems transphobia just doesn't really work as an electoral mobilising or demobilising "culture war" the way Brexit and immigration somewhat do. People just don't seem to care.
OK here goes. Obviously, the big story is the Labour landslide, but a win of that size was only really possible due to the fragmentation of the right. At the same time, while on these results they're unlikely to care much, Labour underestimated the susceptibility of the left to fragment too. 1/

True, but I don't think that's a seat that Labour were ever winning, and the Greens were always likely to have a strong performance there.

And the Labour vote loss in Canterbury was greater, fwiw ๐Ÿ˜‰
