The new guy, John Healey, is a very experienced minister, and has been shadow minister for four years. Hardly a neophyte.

I meant the Tory party faithful. They didn't complain about Shapps being useless! Which he was.

They managed perfectly well with Shapps at MOD, and he wasn't exactly an expert!

This is good news. I can't help feeling that the far right parties in the UK would never get a look-in if there was a proportional representation voting system.

If your area got a new Labour MP then it is your duty to email them and say that you are happy the Tories are out but that transphobia should have no place in the party. Make Starmer gently walk back his support for Rowling's position!

I expect most of them to conclude that they weren't fascist enough, and lurch further to the right. Someone will try for the "Move back to the centre" ploy. But which way will the Tory membership go?

Reform failing to win one of their top targets, which the exit poll said they were 99% certain to get. Difficult to see them getting into double figures now.

Yes, I'm a bit disappointed with how many seats they are likely to keep. On the bright side, they will be less likely to merge with Reform.

I think they'll be out for at least two parliaments, maybe three. I doubt that Labour will lose the next election, given the majority that they'll get today.
