    Liz Truss lost her seat because voters moved right, not because they thought Labour was a better option.

    Let's celebrate today, but from tomorrow onwards, we need to address the far right lunatics head on.

    Beautiful. Looks like Reform split the right wing vote and cost her the seat. Even more beautiful!

    Now I need to look up if Badenoch lost hers too.

    Edit: dang.

    Well, at least she beat Official Monster Raving Loony Party. That's a win, I guess.

    I've been binging on election followup podcasts while cleaning the house. There were many seats where Tory+Reform would have beat the Labour candidate.

    The consensus seemed to be that the Tories are going to lick their wounds, then push further right to gain back Reform voters instead of trying to tack to center and peel away from Labour.
