+210 seats gained on a +2% increase in vote share. FPTP Democracy truly a miracle of representation.

@Independent: Already the shortest-serving PM in history, Liz Truss has now also become the first former leader since 1935 to lose their seat https://t.co/WHncZ3CeoP

So is Sunak the only Tory PM with a seat in Parliament at this point? meaning Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss

Brown was Labour. But yes, sort of. May (as of today I think) and Cameron (as of about 12 months ago) are both peers, so they sit in the Lords, but Truss has been kicked and Johnson quit.
