OK, onto the right. Either the polls overestimated Reform and underestimated the Tories, or there was a notable last-minute shift between them. I'm more inclined to the latter, as late polls did appear to show some movement that way. Either way, the Tories avoided the dreaded Canada scenario. 12/

Reform are in an awkward spot. They did clearly too well to say their breakthrough attempt failed, but really not well enough to have any real workable leverage over the Tories. Farage's dreams of a Canada-style merger-takeover of the Tories are almost certainly off the table, at least for now. 13/
