Labour won a landslide victory in Thursday’s General Election.
Few things in British politics seem familiar this morning. So it’s a welcome feature of this election that the pollsters have seemingly, once again, got it wrong. They overestimated the Lib Dems in 2010. They failed to spot a Tory majority in 2015. They largely didn’t foresee Brexit or Theresa May losing her majority. Now add to that list the apparent overestimation of Labour’s lead.
COMMENT : In his touching goodbye speech on the steps of No 10, we saw a side to the (now) former prime minister we’ve rarely seen before – a distinctly human one
Embarrassing moment followed crushing night for the ex-Tory leader
Boris Johnson says Nigel Farage played a "significant" role in the "destruction" of the Tories – while taking a swipe at those who ousted him from Number 10 back in 2022. Reform UK have secured five seats in the House of Commons including one for its leader Mr Farage, who succeeded in being elected in Clacton, Essex. Former prime minister Mr Johnson has dissected his party's performance in his Daily Mail column, saying the reasons why the Tories lost so many MPs were "complex" - but "the Yucatan asteroid in this catastrophe was obvious: it was Reform".
The Reform UK leader who is also the new MP for Clacton, watched East Thurrock Community Football Club in Corringham on Saturday.
As one big Tory beast after another faced The Hunger Games on election night, one notably escaped the carnage. Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the former Conservative leader, stood tall on the podium with the former and current Labour candidates whose vicious infighting had done him such a big favour.
Who’s to blame? All of us – every Conservative MP in the last Parliament – has a share of the blame for this defeat. For my part, I made life harder for my Party by calling publicly for tougher policy on migration and defence, and so made negative headlines about Tory splits and factions.
DREW Hendry has conceded defeat in Inverness, Skye and West Ross-Shire - the last Scottish General Election seat yet to be officially declared.

What type of prime minister do you think Sir Keir Starmer will be and do you think he will be good at the job?
The most significant result from Thursday may not have been the wipe-out of the Conservative Party. It might not have been the rise of Reform UK either, or the strain put on our first past the post electoral system by two distinct blocs of Right-wing voters. Instead, it could turn out to be the return of sectarian politics to England.
The Conservative MPs expected to launch campaigns for the party leadership will be split on whether to welcome back Nigel Farage.
Suella Braverman has issued a scathing verdict as to why the Conservatives lost the election, blaming Rishi Sunak for pursuing an "idiotic strategy" that treated voters like "mugs". In an intervention that will be seen as her teeing up a potential leadership bid, the former home secretary said her party "failed in office and deserved this result". The former home secretary - who retained her seat of Fareham and Waterlooville but with a much-reduced majority - blamed "high taxes" and "high immigration" as well as "insane political correctness" she believed the party had embraced for the scale of the defeat.
On October 8, as the world was beginning to comprehend what had just happened in southern Israel, most decent people – including many who would go on to decry Israel’s retaliatory campaign – expressed genuine horror at what Gaza’s Islamist barbarians had done. But a substantial minority was openly cheering. Not just in Turkey and Iran, but in Toronto and London.
This was a general election of enormous interest to students of statistics as well as politics. Labour’s majority of 172 is, of course, historically large – and that is what is rightly dominating the post-election headlines.
