Every Tory MP is to blame for this defeat – myself included
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.

Boris Johnson blames 'Pied Piper' Nigel Farage for role in 'destruction' of Tories
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".

Britain can no longer ignore the new sectarianism
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.

Suella Braverman says 'idiotic strategy' led Conservatives to worst-ever election defeat
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.
